This document provides instructions for installing and adjusting an ALS series explosion proof limit switch box. It can be mounted to rotary valves and pneumatic actuators using various bracket options. The limit switch box contains switches or sensors to indicate the valve position and can be adjusted by loosening screws and rotating cams to activate the switches at the desired positions. Proper wiring and explosion proof requirements are outlined. Maintenance involves inspecting components for wear and replacing if needed.

2. Lift up indicator from the cover. 3. Set indicator on cover according to valve position. 4. Replace indicator cover and fasten with cover screws. Check to C US ensure that position indicator O-ring is properly located in seal groove. INSTRUCTION - Use only wet cloth when cleanning the indicator. - Indicators are easily adjusted to match the dome's clear windows or the special rotor angle indicator, such as 45o, 60o or 3 way indicator. Simply loosen ALS Series the four screws to adjust the indicator. Make sure Exd Limit Switch Box dome window line up with rotor quadrants. Finally, tighten g the screws to insure a ggood seal.
