1. General information
■
The mechanical pressure switch described in the operating instructions has been
designed and manufactured using state-of-the-art technology. All components
are subject to stringent quality and environmental criteria during production. Our
management systems are certified to ISO 9001.
■
These operating instructions contain important information on handling the instru-
ment. Working safely requires that all safety instructions and work instructions are
observed.
■
Observe the relevant local accident prevention regulations and general safety
regulations for the instrument’s range of use.
■
The operating instructions are part of the product and must be kept in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the pressure measuring instrument and readily accessible to skilled
personnel at any time.
■
Skilled personnel must have carefully read and understood the operating instruc-
tions prior to beginning any work.
■
The manufacturer‘s liability is void in the case of any damage caused by using
the product contrary to its intended use, non-compliance with these operating
instructions, assignment of insufficiently qualified skilled personnel or unauthorised
modifications to the instrument.

2. Design and function
2.1 Overview
2.2 Description
The pressure element of the model PSM-700 is a resilient bellow from stainless steel
which works against a spring mechanism with an adjustable pre-load force. On the
spring mechanism there is a contact arm for actuating the switch contact. The switch
is actuated as soon as the force generated by the pressure in the pressure element is
greater than the set pre-load force.
2.3 Terms used
Maximum operating pressure
The maximum static pressure with which the instrument can be used without changing
the assured performance data.
Reset point
The pressure value at which the switch returns to the starting position. Mathematically,
the pressure value for the reset point is equal to the pressure value of the switch point
minus the switch differential on rising pressure. On falling pressure, the pressure value
for the reset point is equal to the pressure value of the switch point plus the switch
differential.
Switch differential
The switch differential is the difference between the switch point and the reset point.
This is also known as the switch hysteresis.
