The KPS Series consists of a series of pressure and
temperature controlled switches. In this series,
special attention has been given to meeting
demands for a high level of enclosure, robust and
compact construction, and resistance to shock
and vibration.
For KPS pressure switches the position of the
contacts depends on the pressure in the inlet
connection and the set scale value.
For KPS thermostats the position of the contacts
depends on the temperature of the sensor and
the set scale value.
The series covers most outdoor as well as indoor
application requirements and is suitable for
use in monitoring alarm and control systems
in factories, diesel plants, compressors, power
stations and on board ships.

Max. test pressure
The highest pressure the unit may be subjected
to when, for example, testing the system for
leakage. Therefore, this pressure must not occur
Dierential
as a recurring system pressure.
The dierence between make pressure and
break pressure (see also g. 5 & 6, page 6).
Min. bursting pressure
The pressure which the pressure-sensitive
Permissible overpressure
element will withstand without leaking.
The highest permanent or recuiring pressure the
unit can be loaded with.

Function
I. Alarm for falling pressure
given at the set rangevalue
II. Alarm for rising pressure
given at the set range value
plus the dierential.
1. KPS 31
Contacts 1-2 make and contacts 1-4 break when
the pressure falls under the set range value.
The contacts changeover to their initial position
when the pressure again rises to the set range
value plus the dierential (see g. 5).

2. All other KPS pressure SWITCHES
Contacts 1-4 make and contacts 1-2 break when
the pressure rises above the set range value.
The contacts changeover to their initial position
when the pressure again fails to the range value
minus the dierential (see g. 6).
