Screws
• Using the attached screws (M4 self-tapping screw × 2), secure the
HE9Z-GP15 to the grip style enabling switch.
Recommended tightening torque: 1.0 ±0.1 N·m
Do not use excessive force to tighten the HE9Z-GP15 onto the switch,
otherwise the mounting holes will become deformed and the HE9Z-
GP15 cannot be secured. Prevent the screws from loosening by
applying epoxy. (Recommended: LOCTITE 425, ThreeBond 1401)
Precautions for Installation
• When using the HE9Z-GP15 for safety-related equipment in a con trol
system, refer to safety standards and regulations in each coun try and
region to make sure of correct operation. Also, perform a risk assess-
ment to ensure safety before starting operation of the machine.
• Read the instruction sheets for both the grip style enabling switch
and interlock switch to be used.
• Insert the HE9Z-GP15 in the direction shown in the following gure
only. Do not insert from any other direction. Also, do not use the slot
plug attached to the interlock switch.

• See below for vertical installation. Do not install in any other direc-
tion. Also, make sure that the mounting surface is provided for the
entire area of the grip style enabling switch, so that the switch does
not tilt as shown below. Otherwise the HE9Z-GP15 actua tor will be
deformed.

Correct Incorrect
• Do not install the grip style enabling switch and the interlock switch
in an area subjected to vibration. Excessive vibration may cause mal-
function of the switch contacts of the grip style enabling switch. Also,
exposure to vibration for a long period of time can cause scratching
and deformation of plastic parts.
• When installing or removing the grip style enabling switch, do not use
excessive force in any direction other than shown in the fol lowing
gure. Otherwise the HE9Z-GP15 actuator can become deformed or
damaged.

Direction
• Make sure that the HE9Z-GP15 actuator is inserted completely into
the interlock switch. Avoid any foreign objects between the actuator
and interlock switch as they may interfere with the plastic spring,
resulting in possible damage to the actuator.

• When manually unlocking the HS5E interlock switch attached to
the grip style enabling switch, bend the spiral part of the connector
slightly to be able to access the manual unlock key.

• Do not apply excessive shocks to the HE9Z-GP15 when attached to
the interlock switch, otherwise the actuator may be removed from
the interlock switch. Also excessive shocks may result in damage or
failure of the interlock switch.
• When the plastic part of the HE9Z-GP15 or the actuator is dam aged
or deformed, stop using immediately.
• The HE9Z-GP15 is used for HE1G/HE1G-L/HE2G grip style enabling
switch and HS5D/HS5B/HS5E/HS5E-K interlock switches only. Do not
use the HE9Z-GP15 for other prod ucts.
• Do not modify or disassemble the HE9Z-GP15.
