Original Press Release:
Innovative Limit Switch from Honeywell Offers Unique Wiring System
FREEPORT, III., February 17, 2004- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) Sensing and Control, the company that produced the original MICRO SWITCH switches, introduces an innovative, patented
limit switch designed for fast, easy wiring. The product is designed to meet the needs of the cost-conscious Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in a variety of industry applications including elevators and escalators, automated equipment, scissor/platform lifts, material handling, overhead
doors, and packaging machinery. The EVN2000 Series has a fully enclosed housing, no removable external parts, and uses Insulation Displacement Terminals (IDT) to reduce installation time by up to 50 percent.
The new termination design eliminates the need for access inside the housing, thereby making a housing cover, cover screws and gaskets unnecessary. The method of connecting the cable automatically provides cable sealing and strain relief, eliminating the need to purchase and store separate cord grips.
The EVN Series Limit Switch offers snap-action 1 NO/1 NC direct opening operation, with a 4 mm air gap and a choice of four actuator types. EVN 2000 switches are certified by CE, and are listed by C-UL and UL. The housing is EN50047 mounting compatible to meet globally accepted mounting standards.
Traditional limit switch installation involves opening the switch by removing part of the enclosure, stripping the ends of the cable, clamping the conductors using terminal screws and finally, using a separate cord grip to seal the cable.
Insulation Displacement Terminals (IDT) eliminate the need to strip the insulation off the individual lead wires, and require only the outer cable jacket to be removed. The individual lead
wires are then placed into a plastic insert, which separates and aligns them to the internal switch. The simple action of pushing the insert into the housing and tightening the cord grip, not only ensures electrical connection, but also seals and provides strain relief for the cable. Controlled tests
performed by Honeywell indicate a 50 percent reduction in the time needed to wire a switch.
