4. Design and function
4.1 Description
By means of a sensor element and by supplying power, the prevailing pressure is converted into a switching
signal or an amplified standardized electrical signal via the deformation of a diaphragm. This electrical signal
varies in proportion to the pressure and can be evaluated accordingly.
4.2 Scope of delivery
Cross-check the scope of delivery with the delivery note.
The version with G1 hygienic process connection includes pre-assembled sealings and a protection cap.
5. Transport, packaging and storage
For the protection of the diaphragm, the pressure switch is delivered with a special protection cap.
■
In order to avoid damage at the diaphragm and/or the process connection thread, remove the
protection cap by hand only just before installation.
■
Keep the protection cap for subsequent storage or transport.
■
Fit the protection cap before dismounting and transporting the instrument.
5.1 Transport
Check the instrument for any damage that may have been caused by transport. Additionally check the diaphragm
for any optical damage.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
5.2 Packaging
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change in installation site, sending
for repair).
