WR12AL Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended torque for mounting the WR12AL switch?
  The recommended torque for mounting the WR12AL switch is 0.5 N·m to 1.5 N·m (0.36 lbf·in to 1.06 lbf·in). Over-tightening can damage the switch.
• Can the WR12AL switch be used in high-vibration environments?
  Yes, the WR12AL switch is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. It has a vibration resistance of 10-2000 Hz, 10G acceleration.
• Is the WR12AL switch suitable for use in outdoor or harsh environments?
  Yes, the WR12AL switch is sealed to IP67 standards, making it suitable for use in outdoor or harsh environments. However, it's essential to ensure proper installation and sealing to maintain the IP67 rating.
• What is the expected lifespan of the WR12AL switch?
  The expected lifespan of the WR12AL switch is 100,000 to 500,000 cycles, depending on the operating conditions and usage.
• Can the WR12AL switch be used in low-temperature environments?
  Yes, the WR12AL switch is rated for operation in temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F). However, the switch's performance and lifespan may be affected at extremely low temperatures.
