Transport/Storage
CAUTION
Severe shock and vibrations should be avoided during transport. Storage should be dry and clean.

Installation/Commissioning
DANGER
Only install or uninstall the switch when deenergized (electrically and hydraulically/pneumatically).
Pressure connection and electrical connection must be carried out by trained or instructed
personnel according to state-of-the-art standards.
The switch must only be installed in systems where the maximum pressure P
max
is not exceeded
(see type label).
CAUTION
Alternating pressure - vacuum applications are not authorized in switch types which are suitable
for both vacuum and pressure applications.
WARNING
Pressure peaks and pressure shocks exceeding the maximum operating pressure are
inadmissible.
The maximum operating pressure is the upper final value of the adjustable range or, if specified,
the pressure indicated as maximum operating pressure. Exceeding the max. operating pressure
affects the performance and the life span of the product and may damage it.
Pressure switches must be mounted vibrationless.
WARNING
Check the switch regularly for functioning.
If the switch does not work properly, stop operation immediately!
IMPORTANT
All pressure switches are tested for proper functioning before they leave the factory. The factory
proof pressures are stated on the type label.
Contact Protection
The micro switches used are normally suitable for both direct and alternating current operation.
Inductive, capacitive and lamp loads may, however, considerably reduce the life expectancy of a
micro switch and, under extreme circumstances, even damage the contacts.
Depending on the application spark suppression and current limiting is recommended (see
succeeding figures).

Set point adjustment
IMPORTANT
Factory-Provided: pressure (temperature) switch point setting
We confirm for pressure (temperature) switches that have been factory set the setting will be
detailed on the label name plate.
Warranty is not applicable for any changes that may occur due to transportation or installation.
For critical applications we recommend the setting is checked and re-set if cecessary after
installation and wirding of the pressure (temperature) switch.
