The GRACO 17L983 is a proximity switch designed for use in GRACO lubrication and progressive lubrication systems. It is a magnetically-operated sensing device that sends system cycle data to controllers or PLCs, enabling monitoring and control of lubrication cycles. The switch is intended for integration into GRACO equipment to provide reliable cycle rate feedback and system diagnostics.

Key Features:

• Proximity switch, cycle indicator
• 7/16-20 thread, 7500 psi (517.1 bar) pressure rating
• Up to 7500 psi (517.1 bar); some sources mention up to 10,000 psi (689.5 bar) for similar models
• Available for all series progressive families; can be used with 115 VAC or 12-32 VDC power supplies
• Magnetically-operated for reliable sensing
• Sends cycle data to controllers or PLCs
• Supports cycle rates up to 200 CPM
• Designed for easy integration into GRACO progressive lubrication systems
• Robust for demanding industrial environments

Applications:
Used in off-road equipment, on-road vehicles, and in-plant machinery for monitoring and controlling lubrication cycles.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures compatibility, reliability, and optimal performance within GRACO systems.
• Ensure proper alignment and secure mounting of the proximity switch
• Connect to the appropriate controller or PLC using the recommended cable and connector
• Verify electrical compatibility (115 VAC or 12-32 VDC as required)
• Regularly inspect for wear and proper operation as part of routine maintenance
• Follow GRACO installation guidelines for progressive lubrication systems
• Use only recommended cables and connectors for signal integrity
• Periodically test the switch for accurate cycle detection
