G e n e r a l i n f o r m a t i o n :
For use in industrial and commercial applications as air compressors, water pumps, booster
pumps, fire-fighting equipment, oil supply equipment, high pressure cleaning apparatus.
S a f e t y i n s t r u c t i o n s :
• Read operating instructions thoroughly. Failure to comply can result in device failure,
system damage or personal injury.
• This product is intended for use by persons having the appropriate knowledge and skill.
• Before opening any system make sure pressure in system is brought to and remains at
atmospheric pressure.
• Do not exceed the specified maximum ratings for pressure, temperature, voltage and
current.
• Ensure that electrically conductive piping is grounded.
• Before installation or service disconnect all voltages from system and device.
• Observe and avoid mechanical damage of component housing.
• Ensure that design, installation and operation comply with European and national
standards/regulations.
• Do not operate system before all cable connections are completed.
• Protect against pulsations and liquid surges.
• Avoid extreme vibrations.
• Fix cable with stress-relief device.
M o u n t i n g d i r e c t i o n : Any direction
I n s t a l l a t i o n :
• Fit pressure switch using the bracket on the bottom of the unit.
• Do not seal plastic pressure connector in threads – use O-ring instead.
P r e s s u r e T e s t :
After completion of Pressure Control installation, a pressure test must be carried out as
follows:
- according to PED 2014/68/EU for systems which must comply with European pressure
equipment directive 2014/68/EU.
- to maximum working pressure of system for other applications.
T i g h t n e s s T e s t :
Conduct a tightness test with appropriate equipment and method to identify leakages from
joints and products.
Warning:
• Failure to pressure test or tightness test as described could result in loss of
pressure, medium, damage to property and/or personal injury.
• The tests must be conducted by skilled personnel with due respect regarding the
danger related to pressure.
E l e c t r i c a l c o n n e c t i o n / W i r i n g :
• Entire electrical connections have to comply with
local regulations.
• Ensure that the cables are mounted without tension;
always leave the cable a bit loose.
• Ensure that cables are not mounted near sharp edges.
• Do not bend or mechanically stress the cable outlet,
maintain a clearance of 20 mm to neighbouring parts.
S e t t i n g :
• Adjustment of the upper switching point by
adjusting screw no. 2; display no. 3 (red)
shows the adjusted upper value.
• Adjustment of the lower switching point by
adjusting screw no. 4; display no.5 (green)
shows the set lower value. In this case, the
previously
set
upper
switching
remains unchanged.
• Scales are not calibrated. Use manometer
for precise setting.
R e s e t :
• Standard version (FF4-...DAH): Automatic reset after pressure decrease below lower
switch point
• Version with manual reset (FF4-...DRH or DDH): pressure decrease below upper or
increase above lower switch point and reset button 1 (per Fig. 2) depressed.
S e r v i c e / M a i n t e n a n c e :
• Defective FF4 / FF444 must be replaced, they cannot be repaired.
