Compact pressure piston switches

1

Intended Applications

The pressure switches are specifically applied for monitoring and controlling of operations using
maximum and minimum pressures. A micro switch triggers an electrical signal when minimum or
maximum pressure are reached.
DANGER
The switch may only be used in the specified fields of application (see type plate).
The temperature has to be within the specified ranges, the pressure values and the electrical
rating must not exceed the values specified.
Observe also the applicable national safety instructions for assembly, commissioning and
operation of the switch.
The switch is not designed to be used as the only safety relevant element in pressurized systems
according to DGR 97/23/EC.
IMPORTANT
Suitable media:
All common hydraulic oils and fluid greases, and, with restrictions, aqueous media or gases. If the
media used tend to resinating or hardening of any kind the required cleaning work must be
performed at the specified intervals to avoid malfunctions or damage to the device.
Using aqueous, non-lubricating media or gases for piston pressure switches will inevitably result in
a shorter service life of the devices, and is therefore not recommended. In each case the suitable
gasket and diaphragm materials must be selected in accordance with the medium used, and the
respective approvals must be observed.
