    Model 581A Di erential Pressure Switch Section 1 Section 1—Introduction General The 581A Differential Pressure Switch actuates single or dual signal circuits nected to the process or vessel by tubing or piping. Changes in differential pressure (DP) at the DPU produce a mechanical output which moves a pointer and switch actuation controls.

Check the calibration of the indicating switch over its entire range (refer Scale Plate Installation and Removal, page 14). If the indicating switch is correctly calibrated, secure the pointer to the movement shaft by tap- 4.
  • Page 14: Indicator Calibration

    Model 581A Di erential Pressure Switch Section 3 To remove the scale plate, move the pointer to the 12 o'clock position, remove the screws from the scale plate, and gently guide the scale plate halves from beneath the bottom mounting tab. Screws are located at 12, 3 and 9 o'clock positions and near the center of the plate which overlays a narrow bracket.
  • Page 15 Section 3 Model 581A Di erential Pressure Switch 6. Release pressure. Set the pointer to zero, by slipping the pointer on the hub, per Calibration Check, step 2, page Repeat steps 4 and 5, as necessary, to obtain the correct zero/full-scale. Apply 50% DP.
  • Page 16: Drive Arm Tightness Test

    Model 581A Di erential Pressure Switch Section 3 Lightly tap the indicator to overcome friction. The pointer should accu- rately indicate each applied pressure. 11. Test the instrument repeatability by applying 0%, 50%, 0%, 50% of full- scale differential pressure. The indicator should accurately indicate each applied pressure.
  • Page 17: Switch Calibration

    Section 3 Model 581A Di erential Pressure Switch 4. Bend the zero drive arm stop against the drive arm. 5. Verify calibration as applicable. Switch Calibration Before performing a complete calibration of the switch, perform a calibration check (See Calibration Check, page 12).
  • Page 18: Linkage Calibration Procedure

    Model 581A Di erential Pressure Switch Section 3 Linkage Calibration Procedure The switch linkage should be calibrated whenever the Model 581A switch has been rebuilt. To calibrate the switch linkage, perform the following steps. Refer to Figure 3.7 as needed. 1.
