Installation

A set of Pg13.5 cable gland is attached to 

the RT in a separate bag. To ensure IP66 
(units with automatic reset) or IP54 (units 
with external reset) grade of RT enclosure 
it is necessary to assemble this gland as 
shown in the fig. 4. If this gland is not used 
with a cable, a metal blinding should be 
also assembled.
Make the pressure connection so that any 
impurities in the line do not block the
pressure inlet of the control.
For example, fit the pressure switch to an 
upright connector (with the unit verti-
cal). Damp strong pressure pulsations. 
A damping loop will often be sufficient. 
Insert a water-filled loop as a temperature 
barrier; a 10 mm Cu tube, for example, if 
in a high temperature plant there is a risk 
of the pressure connection to the control 
becoming heated to more than 100 °C.
In water plant, position the pressure
switch so that it cannot be exposed to
frost (let it operate on an air cushion, for
example).

Setting

The pressure switch must be set to provide 
the function - make or break - on rising 

temperature (for RT 31, RT 32 and RT 33 
on falling temperature). The setting can be 
made with the setting knob (5) while at the 
same time reading off the main scale (9). 
See fig. 1. The differential must be set with 
the differential setting disc (19) using the 
nomogram in fig. 2.

Examples

1. RT 31W

The pressure on a steam boiler must be
controlled by an RT 31W.
Max. pressure 8 bar, min. pressure 7.5 bar,
differential 8-7.5 = 0.5 bar

1.  Connect the oil burner to pressure 
  control terminals 1-2
2.  Using the setting knob (5), set the 
  pressure control at 8 bar
3.  Set the differential disc at approx. 3.5 in 
  accordance with the nomogram in fig. 2.

2. RT 19B or RT 19S 

When the pressure in a boiler exceeds 
20 bar, the RT 19 must cut off the burner.
Automatic restart must not occur.
