8.3 Mounting/Installation 8.3.1 Process connection As standard, the device is equipped for pipework mounting with a pressure connection shank pursuant to DIN EN 837- 3. The device is calibrated ex works for vertical installation. Connection to be undertaken by authorized and qualified specialist staff only. ...
For accurate setpoint calibration, mount the switch on a calibration stand, a pump or catalog No. 1305 deadweight gauge tester. A suitable reference standard such as an ASHCROFT Duragauge or Test Gauge is necessary to observe convenient changes in pressure.
Recommendation: Do not remove the switch from one metering point and fit it in a different place, as there is a risk of the measuring media being mixed, with unforeseeable chemical reactions. 9 Servicing All ASHCROFT switches require little or no maintenance. Be sure that the case is closed at all times.
When the switch is exposed to process media that may harden and/or build up in the pressure port, the switch should be removed and cleaned as needed. However, to ensure reliable operation and a long lifetime for the device, we recommend that it is checked regularly. 9.1 Safety When undertaking servicing work on the device, the pressure lines must be depressurized, the electrical connections isolated from the mains supply, and the plant secured against being switched on again.
