Installation

CAUTION
Jolts and heavy vibrations must be avoided during transport. Even if the switch casing remains
undamaged, inside parts may be damaged and cause malfunctions.
The pressure switch may only be installed and electrically connected by instructed staff.
DANGER
The switch may only be installed in systems where the maximum pressure P
(see type label).
Only install the switch when deenergized (electrically and hydraulically/pneumatically).
Mount the pressure switch from the bottom to the • tting using a wrench SW 27 and tighten it to a
torque of 20 Nm.
IMPORTANT

required, e.g. in case of soiled medium or material incompatibility, using a slotted screw driver
(max. width 3 mm).
The pressure switch is less resistant to pressure peaks when the damping screw has been
removed.
