electrical connection
Work on electrical installations must only be carried out by electricians who are
specifically trained for this purpose.
First make sure that there is no voltage on the connecting cable
while you are working on the electrical connections. Otherwise,
a possible electric shock may result and the connected equipment may be
damaged. The connecting cable can be run to the pressure switch from three
sides, according to choice. The screw cable connection has a plug-in design for
this purpose. Rotate protective cover accordingly.
For cable gland models, the seal in the screw cable connection is designed for
cables with alternative sheath diameters of 0.275˝ (7 mm) or 0.393˝ (10 mm). Only
use these sizes – otherwise the screw cable connection cannot seal adequately.
1. If using a 0.275˝ (7 mm) connecting cable, you can line up the press nut, the
plain washer and the sealing ring directly on the cable.
2. If using a 0.393˝ (10 mm) connecting cable, you must first break the inner
rubber ring out of the sealing ring directly on the cable. Then line up the press
nut, the plain washer and the sealing ring on the cable.
Wiring
The switching device in this pressure switch is designed as a change-over contact
as can be seen from the wiring diagram (Figure 1). The rest position is shown in
Figure 1 (pressure below the activation switch point on dial).
1. In the instance where pole 3 (COM) closes to Pole 2, the pressure is
increasing (NO).
2. In the instance where pole 3 (COM) closes to Pole 1, the pressure is
decreasing (NC).
Protect the feed line (to pole 3) by fuse, either in control system or along the line,
and do so with:
1. Max. 1.5 A / 250 VAC, if you are loading the contact with an resistive load;
2. Max 0.4 A / 250 VAC, if you are loading the contact with an inductive load
(such as relay);
3. Max. 0.1 A / 24 VDC, if you are using the pressure switch in the weak current
version with gold-plated contacts.
The connections are intended for crimp-type sockets, 0.25 in (6.3 mm).
1. Make sure the crimp connection is perfect, and that the cable lugs fit properly
on to the connections.
2. If you do not have any crimp-type sockets available, you can also use the
cable lugs which are supplied with mounted screw terminals. However, these
are only intended for rigid copper wire.
3. On flex, it is either necessary to crimp on strand end sleeves – and then you
can also screw the strands on – or to crimp cable lugs on directly as previously
described.

Setting the pressure Range
Make absolutely certain that there is no voltage on the electrical connections
before you carry out any setting on the pressure switch. Otherwise, it could be fatal
if you accidentally touch the electrical connections or the metal adjusting screw
while you are performing the settings.
a) Use the adjustment dial to set the pressure which should trip the switch on an
increase of pressure.
1. The indications on the dial are only correct for the vertical mounting position.
2. When the pressure falls, the switch returns to its resting position as soon as
the pressure falls below the dead band.
attaching cover
a) Insert the screw cable connection into the recess provided for this purpose on
the housing.
b) Then place the housing cover in position and screw it down evenly on to the
pressure switch.
testing the Setting
Do not operate the system until the housing is closed. Otherwise there is the
possibility of an electric shock if you accidentally touch live parts.
Check the trip and reset pressures by slowly increasing the pressure and then
allowing it to fall again.
iMpoRtant:
Observe the maximum permissible operating pressure of 40˝ w.c.
(10 kPa) which is indicated in the data sheet. Otherwise the pressure switch may
be damaged.
Maintenance
Upon final installation of the Series ADPS Adjustable Differential Pressure Switch,
no routine maintenance is required. A periodic check of system operation is
recommended. The Series ADPS is not field serviceable and should be returned if
repair is needed (field repair should not be attempted and may void warranty). Be
sure to include a brief description of the problem plus any relevant application
notes. Contact customer service to receive a return goods authorization number
before shipping.
