2.2.1. Handling the DIP Switches

Operating the DIP Switch Safely

  • Do not apply excessive force when operating the slide-type switch, as this might cause damage or deformation, leading to malfunction.
  • Apply the operating load from the side of the striker.
  • Avoid applying force at an angle or from above the striker, as this might deform the switch contact.

Setting the DIP Switch

  • To set the slide-type switch, use a small, rounded object like the end of a ballpoint pen or a tiny screwdriver.
  • Do not use sharp tools, such as tweezers, to set the switch as they might damage it.
  • Do not use a mechanical pencil, as its point could leave lead particles behind. These particles might interfere with the switch and the internal circuit board, potentially causing malfunction. Lead buildup can also reduce the dielectric strength of the circuit board.
