HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK ACT 1974
WARNINGS
1. THE USERS ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE
FACT THAT, WHEN THE UNIT IS "LIVE" WITH
RESPECT TO ELECTRICAL OR PRESSURE
SUPPLIES, A HAZARD MAY EXIST IF THE UNIT IS
OPENED OR DISMANTLED.
2. UNITS MUST BE SELECTED AND
INSTALLED BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPROPRIATE CODES OF PRACTICE SO THAT
THE POSSIBILITY OF FAILURE RESULTING IN
INJURY OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY MISUSE OR
MIS-APPLICATION IS AVOIDED.
3. TYPE W AND A ENCLOSURES HAVE A
SAFETY BLOW-OUT DISC FITTED IN THE REAR
OF THE ENCLOSURE TO PREVENT DANGEROUS
PRESSURISATION OCCURRING IN THE EVENT OF
AN ‘O’ RING SEAL FAILURE. THIS MUST NOT BE
OBSTRUCTED DURING INSTALLATION. LEAVE
AT LEAST 6 mm CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE
BACK FACE OF THE ENCLOSURE AND THE
MOUNTING SURFACE. DO NOT REMOVE OR
REPLACE WITH ANY OTHER DEVICE NOT
APPROVED BY DELTA CONTROLS.
DO NOT REMOVE AND REFIT BACK PLATE SO AS
TO OBSTRUCT THE BLOW-OUT DISC.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
A diaphragm is used to sense the difference between
two pressures applied to either side of the diaphragm.
The diaphragm transmits a force proportional to the
applied pressure difference to an operating beam.
The beam is restrained by an adjustable spring. When
the force on the beam overcomes the spring tension
the beam moves and operates a switch or switches.
On reduction of the applied pressure difference the
force applied to the beam also falls, the beam is
restored to its original position by the spring, and the
switch or switches resets.
Switching Differential Adjustment: Model 303 (Fig 4)
1. Rotate the secondary adjuster knob to move the
secondary indicator along the ‘arrow’ scale. Rotate
clockwise to increase the differential and counter
clockwise to decrease the differential.
2. Replace instrument lid (see maintenance).
Note: For accurate setting, a suitable pressure gauge
should be used in conjunction with the above procedure.
Do not attempt to set the switch outside the scale limits.
Thought the unit may be set anywhere within its operation
range, for optimum performance, it is good practice to
have a set point value between 25% and 75% of span.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use only factory authorised parts and procedures. The
only parts normally recommended for site replacement are
the microswitches. However, in some circumstances other
spares kits are available. Apply for details quoting the
serial number and full product code.

INSTALLATION
The instruments are designed to be mounted vertically.
They can be mounted either direct to process or to a wall
or panel using the back plate provided. Select the
mounting point so as to avoid excessive shock, vibration or
temperature fluctuation. Instruments should be mounted
to avoid excessive heat transfer from the process lines or
adjacent plant.
If sudden changes of pressure (pulsations) are likely then
we recommend that snubbers are fitted between the
process line and switch.
Use a spanner to support the process connection when
fitting the instrument. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. When
fitting the instrument lid make sure gaskets or ‘O’ rings are
in good condition and fitted correctly.
WARNING: CHECK THE CONNECTION THREAD SIZE
AND SPECIFICATION ON THE UNIT TO AVOID
MISMATCHING WITH THE PROCESS CONNECTION
ADAPTOR. SEE DIGIT 11 OF PRODUCT CODE.

MAINTENANCE
Inspections should be carried out at quarterly to yearly
intervals depending upon operating conditions.
Isolate the unit from process and power and remove the
lid. Check all terminals for tightness. Check that cable tails
are not fouled or chafed. Check for internal condensation.
Rectify as necessary.
It is recommended that instruments used to provide an
alarm are operated periodically to ensure they are
functioning correctly.
If further maintenance is required seek advice from DELTA
CONTROLS before attempting repair or replacement of
parts.
CAUTION
Moving parts have been treated with a water repelling
lubricant before leaving the factory. Occasional inspection
and the application of a water repelling lubricant is
recommended to ensure moving parts remain free under
all conditions.
Zone 1 enclosures
Thread seal and contact surfaces must be lightly lubricated
using a non-setting non-corrosive grease compatible with
the nitrile lid seal. Do not use copper bearing grease on
aluminium. Screw on lid hand tight making sure that
mating surfaces of the lid and enclosure are in contact. Retighten the lid lock screw.
WARNING: IT IS A SAFETY REQUIREMENT THAT AT
LEAST 5 FULL THREADS ARE ENGAGED WHEN THE
UNIT IS IN OPERATION. NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT
UNLESS THIS CONDITION IS MET. DO NOT USE

Low Voltage Directive (LVD) – 2006/95/AC. Switch products with enclosure codes ‘W’ and
‘A’ supplied CE-marked must be installed and used in accordance with the main instructions
and this addendum supplied with each product. Products rated lower than 50V ac and 75 V dc
are outside the scope of the LVD, and therefore, do not require CE-marking under this
directive. The LVD does not apply to products with enclosure codes ‘H’, ‘K’, ‘R’, ‘M’, ‘N’ for use
in hazardous areas. Switch products with enclosure codes ‘H’, ‘K’, ‘R’, ‘M’, ‘N’, are covered by
the Explosive Atmospheres Directive ATEX – 94/9/EC and when CE-marked will indicate
compliance with this directive alone. The following directives do not apply to switch products
manufactured by Delta Controls:
Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC – 2004/08/EC.
Machinery Safety Directive MSD – 2006/42/EC.
ENCLOSURE ‘W’
Cable Glands and adaptors – If enclosure ‘W’ is supplied with a through hole of 22 mm
blanked with a blind grommet. Discard the grommet and fit a suitable proprietary brass or
nylon M20 cable gland with thread length of 10 mm and locknut. Fit the nylon reducer provided
to the inside and a fibre washer to the outside. See diagram 1.
Alternately, the enclosure may be supplied from the factory with a threaded adaptor ready to
accept the customer’s gland or conduit system.
Alternatives:
i) a metal or nylon adaptor may be used to accommodate other sizes of gland eg NPT, or
conduit system. See diagram 2.
ii) an elbow kit may be supplied to enable the entry to be rotated axially through 90° and
radially through 360°. See diagram 3.
Earthing / grounding – The user must make suitable local earthing arrangements, if required,
to ensure that metal glands are earthed.
An earthing point is provided inside the enclosure. If this is disturbed in any way it must be
reassembled correctly to be an effective earth and prevent ingress. See diagram 4. When
removing the lid slacken the M4 nut first and ensure it is re tightened whenever the lid is
replaced. See diagram 4.1.
ENCLOSURE ‘A’
Cable Glands and adaptors – Enclosure ‘A’ is supplied with an M20 x 1.5 tapped hole. Use a
suitable stainless steel cable gland and sealing washer. Alternately the enclosure may be
supplied with a threaded adaptor fitted at the factory ready to accept the customer’s gland or
conduit system. See diagram 5.
Earthing / grounding – Bonding between the enclosure and gland / adaptor will be achieved
when both parts are screwed together. An earthing point is provided inside the enclosure. If
this is disturbed in any way it must be reassembled correctly to be an effective earth and
prevent ingress. See diagram 4.
EARTHING / GROUNDING OF PROCESS CONNECTION AND BACK PLATES – All the
internal dead metal work is bonded to the enclosure earthing point. Due to requirements of
sealing, the process connection and back plates may be isolated from the earthing point. Do
not, therefore, rely on either for earthing, instead always use the earthing point provided. If
required, the process connection and back plates may be bonded locally. Never use the
process connection or inlet pipe for locally grounding welding equipment unless it is separately
earth bonded.
