LS2 refers to which device?

Explanation:
In this labeling, LS designates a limit switch, a mechanical device that is actuated by the motion or position of a part and makes or breaks an electrical contact. LS2 would be the second limit switch in the system. A limit switch provides a clear on/off signal when a moving part reaches a defined position, which is why it’s used for end-of-travel or position-detection tasks in control circuits. This differs from a light sensor, which detects light levels; a load sensor, which measures force or weight; and a level switch, which detects the level of a liquid or bulk material using a different sensing method. The physical actuation and discrete output of a limit switch make it the correct match for LS2.
