RECOMMENDED PRACTICES AND WARNINGS
United Electric Controls Company recommends careful consideration
of the following factors when specifying and installing UE pressure and temperature
units. Before installing a unit, the Installation and Maintenance instructions provided
with unit must be read and understood.
• To avoid damaging unit, proof pressure and maximum temperature limits stated in
literature and on nameplates must never be exceeded, even by surges in the system.
Operation of the unit up to maximum pressure or temperature is acceptable on a lim-
ited basis (e.g., start-up, testing) but continuous operation must be restricted to the
designated adjustable range. Excessive cycling at maximum pressure or temperature
limits could reduce sensor life.
• A back-up unit is necessary for applications where damage to a primary unit could
endanger life, limb or property. A high or low limit switch is necessary for applica-
tions where a dangerous runaway condition could result.
• The adjustable range must be selected so that incorrect, inadvertent or malicious
setting at any range point cannot result in an unsafe system condition.
• Install unit where shock, vibration and ambient temperature fluctuations will not
damage unit or affect operation. When applicable, orient unit so that moisture does
not enter the enclosure via the electrical connection. When appropriate, this entry
point should be sealed to prevent moisture entry.
• Unit must not be altered or modified after shipment. Consult UE if modification is
necessary.
• Monitor operation to observe warning signs of possible damage to unit, such as
drift in set point or faulty display. Check unit immediately.
• Preventative maintenance and periodic testing is necessary for critical applications
where damage could endanger property or personnel.
• Electrical ratings stated in literature and on nameplate must not be exceeded.
Overload on a switch can cause damage, even on the first cycle. Wire unit accord-
ing to local and national electrical codes, using wire size recommended in installa-
tion sheet.
• Do not mount unit in ambient temp. exceeding published limits.
