Half-Inch Diameter Process Sealed Rotaries
Series MR
Distinctive Characteristics
Low profile body of MRF model accommodates space limitations
required for PCB mounting. For the MRA and MRK bushing
mount models, the range of behind panel body depths is .323”
to .669” (8.2mm to 17.0mm).
Positive detent mechanism for distinct feel and audible feedback.
Metal bushing and housing construction increases durability.
Adjustable stopper plate allows 2–12 position settings.
High contact reliability achieved by the self-cleaning
contact mechanism.
Break-before-make contact timing with sliding contacts in
MRA and rotary contactor disk in MRF and MRK models.
Interior housing seal and molded-in PC terminals, plus shaft
rubber o-ring on MRF and MRK and polyamide cover on MRF
model, allow cleaning after automated soldering.
Exterior rubber washer and double flatted bushing on MRA and MRK
give protection in splashproof applications.

POSITION SETTING FOR MRA, MRF, & MRK MODELS
Each switch is supplied with the stopper set for the maximum number of positions allowed for that model. Prior to installation,
the desired position setting should be made. Contact factory for continuous rotation.
MRF Models
1. Remove the protective cover from the switch body.
2. Turn the shaft counterclockwise to the extreme left by using a screwdriver.
3. Inside the cover is a magnifying lens which would be positioned over the
number which is to be the maximum position used; when the cover is then
snapped into the switch, the projection beside the lens fits into the correct
hole for setting the stop.

MRK & MRA Models
1. Using the actuator knob, turn the shaft
counterclockwise to the extreme left. If
the shaft is not turned counterclockwise
to the extreme left, proper setting can-
not be achieved. At this extreme posi-
tion, the white line on the knob points
to the number 1 position shown on the
side of the switch.
2. Remove the knob from the shaft and
loosen the nut far enough to allow rais-
ing the stopper plate, plus washer(s),
for resetting to the desired position.
3. Note the position numbers on the side
of the switch; these correspond to the
terminal numbers and stopper holes.
Insert the stopper in the hole numbered
for the maximum desired number of
stop settings. Satisfactory switch func-
tioning cannot be assured if the stopper
plate is not properly positioned.
4. Tighten the nut (beveled side up) firmly
against the stopper plate.
