ATEX information on explosion protection
PM1-ATEX pressure switches are certified and labeled according to the enclosed declaration of conformity. They can be used as follows (see g Declaration of conformity):

• In purely gas explosive areas of zone 2 (category 3G)
• In areas with flammable dust particles of zone 22 (category 3D)

DANGER

Danger of an ignition source due to impermissible operating conditions, connections, and parameters!
Operating the PM1 under impermissible conditions can lead to overheating on the surfaces of the PM1 and/or the formation of an ignition source.

1. Observe the permissible operating conditions, in particular, the ambient and medium temperatures.
2. Note the limited temperature range for ATEX conditions. Make sure that the values for the medium and ambient temperatures listed in the technical data (80°C) are complied with.
3. If temperatures of >+70 °C are reached, ensure that the cable is fixed.
4. Make sure that permitted temperature levels are not exceeded due to fluctuations in pressure.
5. Observe the relevant Ex guidelines for installation, maintenance, and repair, in particular EN 60079-17 as well as the prevailing national regulations (e.g. 89/391/EEC, article 7, paragraphs 5 and 8, IEC 60364 et seq.). This work must be performed by an electrical specialist.
6. When using the equipment in areas in zone 22 (dust 3D), protection standards must also meet the requirements stated in EN 60079-31 (IP protection class) or other measures must be implemented to prevent deposits of dust.

The device will lose its Ex approval if these instructions are not complied with!

About This Product

Product Description
The PM1 is used to open or close an electrical contact when a pre-set pressure range is reached.

Performance specifications
An appropriate medium is applied to the PM1 at the G1/4 connection or on the flange. A bellow actuates a microswitch (change-over switch) via a mechanism once the preset switching pressure is reached.

The contact switches (see g Fig. 5 and g Fig. 6)

• if the pressure increases from 1-2 to 1-3,
• if the pressure decreases from 1-3 to 1-2.
• if the underpressure increases from 1-3 to 1-2,
• if the underpressure decreases from 1-2 to 1-3

Assembly

Let the product acclimatize for several hours before commissioning, otherwise,water may condense in the housing.

CAUTION
The danger of injury if assembled under pressure or voltage!
Assembling when under pressure or electrical voltage can lead to injuries and damage to the product or system components.

1. Make sure that the relevant system component is without pressure and voltage before you assemble the product.
2. Protect the system against being restarted.

Assembling the pressure switch and connecting the pneumatics

1. Make sure that the system is not under voltage or pressure.
2. Connect the pressure switch with the pressure system:
   • Flange connection M5: MA = 2.5+0.5 Nm (see g Fig. 1)
   • Connection G1/4: MA = 12+1 Nm (see g Fig. 2)

Electrically connecting the pressure switch

Commissioning and operation

DAN GER
Danger of explosion!
There is a danger of ignition in explosive areas if the product is not commissioned properly.

• Observe the warnings under g 2.5. ATEX information on explosion protection!

CAUTION
Risk of injury due to uncontrolled actuator movements when the pneumatics are switched on!
There is a danger of personal injury if the system is in an undefined state.

• Put the system in a defined state before switching it on.

CAUTION
System is operating under pressure!
Incorrect installation could damage the pressure switch or the system and cause serious injury.

• Before commissioning, check that all connections, ports and components have been correctly installed.

Commissioning the pressure switch
Proceed as follows to commission the pressure switch:

1. Check whether the pressure switch is assembled correctly (see g 5. Assembly and g 2. Notes on safety, especially g 2.5. ATEX information on explosion protection) and make sure that all pressure switch connections are properly connected.
2. Secure the components to be switched to prevent unintentional responses, and apply voltage.
3. Apply the compressed air to the system.
4. Check that the switch outputs are functioning properly.

Setting the switching point

1 Adjustment screw

Factory setting: pressure switch = 3 bar; vacuum switch = –0.4 bar
The adjustment screw is self-holding.
The switching point is continuously adjustable, even during operation.

• To check the switching point, an external pressure gauge must be used.
• To set the switching point to a higher pressure:
• Turn the adjustment screw (1) to the right (+).
• To set the switching point to a lower pressure:
• Turn the adjustment screw (1) to the left (–).

Service and repairs

Cleaning and servicing

DANGER
Danger of explosion due to electrostatic charge!
Cleaning with a dry cloth may cause the surface of the pressure switch to become electrostatically charged. This can lead to an explosion in explosive areas.

• Use only a water-moistened cloth to clean the pressure switch! Never use solvents or aggressive detergents.
• Do not use high-pressure cleaners for cleaning.

Maintenance
The pressure switch is maintenance-free.

• Contact the AVENTICS service department in case of technical problems

Disassembly and exchange

CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Disassembly and exchange when under pressure or voltage can lead to explosions in explosive areas.

• Make sure that the relevant system component is without pressure and voltage before you assemble the product.
• Protect the system against being restarted.

1. Make sure that the system is not under voltage or pressure.
2. Disconnect the electrical connection.
3. Loosen the mounting screws on the pressure switch.
4. Remove the pressure switch from the pressure system.

Disposal
Dispose of the product in accordance with the currently applicable regulations in your country.

Troubleshooting

Response to malfunctions

• If malfunctions occur with unknown causes, exchange the pressure switch with an original pressure switch.
  The individual components of the pressure switch cannot be replaced or repaired.
