Figure 7 shows the same horizontal machine as in Figures 5 and 6, but with the switch ori-
ented vercally. As noted in Secon 2.4, a vercal orientaon of the switch is discouraged
because machines will generally experience less vibraon in the vercal direcon than in
the horizontal direcon, and the switch will be less eecve. Metrix does not recommend
installaon as shown in Figure 7 unless the machine truly experiences more vibraon in the
vercal direcon than in the horizontal direcon, or the 2g / 24V reset coil opon is being
used (see note in Secon 2.4).
