condition!

---|---

DANGER

| Danger of death from improper installation

– Installation must be performed only by appropriately qualified persons who

have read and understood the operating manual.

• NOTE – Do not remove the packaging or protective caps of the device until shortly before the mounting procedure, in order to exclude any damage to the diaphragm! Protective caps must be kept! Dispose of the packaging properly!
• NOTE – If there is increased risk of damage to the device by lightning strike or overvoltage, increased lightning protection must additionally be provided!
• NOTE – Treat any unprotected diaphragm with utmost care; this can be damaged very easily.
• NOTE – The operating and display module as well as the housing are equipped with rotation limiters. Please do not attempt to overtighten it by applying increased force.
• NOTE – Provide a cooling line when using the device in steam piping and and clarify the material compatibility.
• NOTE – The measuring point must be designed in such a way that cavitation and pressure surges are avoided.
• NOTE – When installing the device, avoid high mechanical stresses on the pressure port! This will result in a shift of the characteristic curve or to damage, in particular in case of very small pressure ranges.
• NOTE – In hydraulic systems, position the device in such a way that the pressure port points upward (ventilation).
• NOTE – The permissible tightening torque depends on the conditions on site (material and geometry of the mounting point). The specified tightening torques for the pressure switch must not be exceeded!
• NOTE – If the device is installed with the pressure port pointing upwards, ensure that no liquid drains off on the device. This could result in humidity and dirt blocking the gauge reference in the housing and could lead to malfunctions.
• Dust and dirt must be removed from the edge of the screwed joint of the electrical connection.
• NOTE – Please check the conditions of use and operation of the device at regular intervals. If the properties are changed, initiate appropriate measures.
• NOTES – for mounting outdoors / in a humid environment and for cleaning:
  • Please note that your application does not show a dew point, which causes condensation and can damage the device. There are specially protected devices for these operating conditions. Please contact us in such case.
  • Connect the device electrically straightaway after mounting or prevent moisture penetration, e.g. by a suitable protective cap. (The ingress protection specified in the data sheet applies to the connected device.)
  • For devices with gauge reference in the housing (small hole next to the electrical connection), install the device in such a way, that the gauge reference is protected from dirt and moisture. Should the device be exposed to fluid admission, the functionality will be blocked by the gauge reference. An exact measurement in this condition is not possible. Furthermore, this can lead to damages on the device.
• Select the mounting position such that splashed and condensed water can drain off. Stationary liquid on sealing surfaces must be excluded!
• If the device has a cable outlet or cable gland, the outgoing cable must be routed downwards. If the cable needs to be routed upwards, this must be done in an initially downward curve.
• Mount the device such that it is protected from direct solar radiation. In the most unfavourable case, direct solar radiation leads to the exceeding of the permissible operating temperature, which can then damage the device or affect its ability to function correctly. If the internal pressure in the device rises, this could also cause temporary measurement errors.

Conditions for devices with 3-A symbol

• The device or its connecting piece must be installed in such a way that the surfaces are self-draining (permissible installation position 273° … 87°).

Operation

Control and display elements

Fig. 2 touch pad (example with two contacts)

The device has, according to the order max. two LEDs which are allocated to the resp. contacts. The LEDs will light up when the respective set point has been reached and the contact is active. The display of the measured value as well as the configuration of the individual parameters occurs menu-driven via the sevensegment display.

To configurate the device, unscrew the housing cap by hand. execution of configuration:

• set the desired menu item by pushing the ▲- or ▼-button
• activate the set menu item by pushing both buttons simultaneously
• set the desired value or select one of the offered settings by using the ▲- or ▼-button
• store / confirm the set value/selected setting and exit the menu by pushing both buttons simultaneously

Before screwing on the cap again, the o-ring and sealing surfaces of the housing have to be checked for damage and if necessary, have to be changed! Afterwards screw the housing cap on by hand and make sure that the housing is firmly locked again.

NOTE
Ensure that moisture cannot enter the device! The seals and sealing surfaces must not get dirty, as (depending on application and location) fouling can cause a reduced degree of protection and therefore lead to device failure or irreparable damage to the device.

Configuration
The menu system is a closed system allowing you to scroll both forward and backward through the individual set-up menus to navigate to the desired setting item. All settings are permanently stored in an EEPROM and therefore available again even after disconnecting from the supply voltage. The structure of the menu system is the same for all types of devices, regardless of the number of contacts. However, they only differ by the number of menus. Following figure and the menu list shows all possible menus. On devices with 3-wire output 4 … 20 mA and 0 … 20 mA, the menus ZP and EP have special functions. The menu DP is not applied, as the decimal point is already factory set during production.

Please follow the manual meticulously and remember that changes of the adjustable parameters (switch-on point, switchoff point, etc.) become only effective after pushing both buttons simultaneously and leaving the menu item.

Password system
To avoid a configuration by unautho rized persons, the possibility is given to lock the device by an access protection. More information is given in menu 1 of the menu list.

Configuration example of the analogue output for 4 … 20 mA / 3-wire adjustable
By the menus ZP and EP, the analog ue output can be configured. In the following, the function of these menus shall be made clear by an example. Assuming you have a device with a nominal pressure range 0 … 400 bar by factory the following performance is set:

• 0 bar = 4.00 mA
• 200 bar = 12.00 mA
• 400 bar = 20 mA

If you change the value in the me nu ZP from 0 to 20 and the value in the menu EP from 400 to 300, the following performance will appear:

• 20 bar = 4.00 mA
• 160 bar = 12.00 mA
• 300 bar = 20 mA

The values of ZP and EP are adjustable up to 1:5 of the nominal pressure range.

Description of hysteresis and compare mode
To invert the respective modes, you have to exchange the values for the switch-on and switch-off points.
