Digital comparator output D3
The “Pressure reached” function permits monitoring of the pressure control func-
tion. The setpoint value is compared with the actual value.
The digital switching output D3 becomes active as soon as the divergence is

Commissioning

• Keep high-frequency radiation away from the VPPM-... in order to avoid

increased tolerances of the outlet pressure.

• The VPPM-... interprets setpoint signals that are less than 1% Full Scale (FS) as

0 V or 4 mA. In this case the working pressure is set to ambient pressure.

• At typical input values below 3.6 mA , the valve detects a cable break and the

last pressure set remains unregulated. Leakage results in a change of pressure
over the long term.

1. Connect the VPPM-... with a setpoint value signal. The VPPM-... has a differen-

tial input. Apply the setpoint signal 0 … 10 V or 4 … 20 mA to contacts 3 and 4.
Apply the lower potential to contact 3 and the higher potential to contact 4.

Contact 3 (– setpoint value) can be connected to contact 7 (GND).

2. Power the VPPM-... with direct current.

Supply voltage UV = 24 V DC ±10%

Select a parameter set for the regulator.

Press and hold the [Edit] key for 3 seconds.

Select a parameter set with the [UP] and [DOWN] keys. The LED of the
selected parameter set lights up.

Press the [Edit] key to confirm the selection.

The control response of the VPPM-... can also be set by remote control via
digital inputs D1 and D2.

Maintenance

9.1

Disassembly

NOTICE

• When switching off the VPPM.-..., first make sure that the setpoint value is set

to 0, then that the supply pressure and finally the supply voltage are switched
off.

Switch off the following energy sources:

Operating voltage

Compressed air

2. Disconnect the connections from the device.
3. Remove the device from the mounting surface or H-rail.
9.2

Cleaning

Switch off the following energy sources to clean the outside:

Operating voltage

Compressed air

2. Clean the device on the outside with a soft cloth as required.
