5. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of the pressure switch. Follow these general steps:
- Mounting: Securely mount the pressure switch using the provided hook mechanism in a location free from excessive vibration and within the specified operating temperature range.
- Pressure Connection: Connect the pressure port (G 3/8 A Weld nipple d6.5/d10mm) to the system being monitored. Ensure a leak-free connection using appropriate sealing materials.
- Electrical Wiring: Wire the pressure switch according to the electrical diagram for your specific application. Pay close attention to the SPDT contact configuration. Ensure all connections are tight and insulated. Refer to the electrical ratings in the specifications section.
- Testing: After installation, gradually apply pressure to the system and observe the switch's operation to confirm it actuates at the desired set point.
6. Operation
The Danfoss RT5 pressure switch operates automatically based on the pressure in the connected system. Once installed and wired correctly, it will switch its contacts when the system pressure reaches the factory-set or adjusted threshold within its 4-17 bar range. The 'Auto' reset feature means the switch will automatically return to its normal state once the pressure returns to an acceptable level.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your pressure switch.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the switch clean and free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Pressure Line Check: Ensure the pressure line connected to the switch is free from blockages or leaks.
- Functional Test: If critical, periodically test the switch's actuation and reset points to ensure it is operating within specifications.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pressure switch, consider the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Switch does not actuate | No pressure, incorrect wiring, faulty switch | Check system pressure, verify wiring, test switch functionality. |
| Switch actuates at wrong pressure | Incorrect set point, pressure gauge error | Recalibrate or adjust set point (if adjustable), verify pressure gauge accuracy. |
| Intermittent operation | Loose wiring, vibration, pressure fluctuations | Check all electrical connections, secure mounting, stabilize pressure. |
| Leak at pressure connection | Improper sealing, damaged threads | Re-seal connection with appropriate materials, inspect threads for damage. |
