Danfoss KPU Series Installation Manual

Installation guide

Pressure switch
KPU
Application
KPU pressure switches are for use on commercial
refrigeration and air conditioning systems to give protection
against excessively low suction pressure or excessively
high discharge pressure.
They are also used for starting and stopping refrigeration
compressors and fans on air-cooled condensers.
KPU pressure switches are fitted with the Single-Pole Single-
Throw (SPST) or Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) switches,
suitable for direct as well as indirect (with a contactor) control.
KPU pressure switches are available in several pressure ranges
and are compatible with refrigerants listed below. KPU 6W and
KPU 6B are fail safe switches for high pressure refrigerants.
Standard enclosure is ~NEMA 1.

IMPORTANT:
Mount the pressure switch in a position that
will allow drainage of liquids away from switch
bellows. Pressure connection of the switch
must always be located on the top side of the
refrigerant line.
This reduces the possibility of oil, liquids, or
sediment collecting in the bellows, which could
cause the switch malfunction.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure the ambient temperature for the pressure
switch is higher than the refrigeration line as that
will prevent liquid migration and accumulation in
the bellows.
