Technical Brief:
Choosing The Correct Sized Tubing
Ÿ Do not use corrosive or flammable gases or liquids with this product.
Please use within the opera ng pressure range (see table below). Do not apply pressure beyond the maximum recommended pressure as
Ÿ
permanent damage to the sensor may occur.
Do not drop, hit or allow excessive shock. Even if the switch appears undamaged, internal components may be damaged and can malfunc on.
Ÿ
Turn power off before connec ng wiring. Improper wiring or a short circuit will damage the unit or cause a malfunc on.
Ÿ
Do not use in an environment containing steam or oil vapor.
Ÿ
This product is not explosion-proof rated. Do not use in an environment containing flammable or corrosive gases.
Ÿ
Wiring for the pressure sensor should avoid power source and high voltage lines. If used in the same circuit, noise may cause a malfunc on.

VSMN/VSMP: Adjus ng Pressure Setpoint
Use the vacuum se ng trimmer (VR) to set the "ON"
Ÿ
pressure. Rotate clockwise to increase the vacuum setpoint;
rotate counter-clocksiwse to decrease the setpoint.
Use appropriate sized flathead screwdriver for the se ng
Ÿ
trimmer. Gently turn the screwdriver to make adjustments.
To prevent damage to the vacuum se ng trimmer, do not
force the trimmer when it comes to a stop.
