Installation
A set of PG13.5 cable glands is attached to the RT in a separate bag. To ensure IP66 (units with automatic reset) or IP54 (units with external reset) grade of RT enclosure, it is necessary to assemble this gland as shown in Fig. 4. If this gland is not used with a cable, a metal blinding should also be assembled. Make the pressure connection so that any impurities in the line do not block the pressure inlet of the control. For example, set the pressure switch to an upright connector (with the unit vertical). Damp strong pressure pulsations. A damping loop will often be sufficient. Insert a water-filled loop as a temperature barrier; a 10 mm Cu tube, for example, if in a high-temperature plant, there is a risk of the pressure connection to the control becoming heated to more than 100°C. In a water plant, position the pressure switch so it cannot be exposed to frost (let it operate on an air cushion, for example).
Setting
The pressure switch must be set to provide the function – make or break – on rising temperatures (RT 31, RT 32, and RT 33 on falling temperatures). The setting can be made with the setting knob (5) while at the same time reading o the main scale (9). See.g 1. The differential must be set with the TDIF differential disc (19) using the nomogram Fig. 2.
Examples
RT 31W
An RT 31W must control the pressure on a steam boiler. Max. Pressure 8 bar, min. Pressure 7.5 bar, differential 8-7.5 = 0.5 bar
- Connect the oil burner to pressure control terminals 1-2
- Using the setting knob (5), set the pressure control at 8 bar
- Set the differential disc at approx. 3. By the nomogram in Fig. 2.
RT 19B or RT 19S
When the pressure in a boiler exceeds 20 bar, the RT 19 must shut off the burner. Automatic restart must not occur.
- Connect the burner to the pressure switch terminals 1-4
- Using the setting knob, set the pressure switch at 20 bar
Manual restart with the reset button (see) can only be carried out when the pressure has fallen by the range setting minus the differential; in this instance, e, 19 bar.
FAQs
Q: What is the maximum test pressure for different models?
A: The maximum test pressures are as follows:
- RT 19, RT 32 (-W -B -S): 47 bar
- RT 30A, RT 31 (-W -B -S): 25 bar
- RT 33B, RT 35W, RT 112: 8 bar
Q: How should I adjust the differential setting?
A: The differential must be set with the differential setting disc (19) using the nomogram provided in Fig. 2.
