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 MISAPPLICATION IS
AVOIDED.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Process pressure is sensed by a diaphragm that generates
a force proportional to the applied pressure. This force is
opposed by an adjustable spring, which at the point of
equilibrium permits movement of an operating rod that
actuates a switch or switches.
Note: Should the diaphragm fail the process will vent to
atmosphere via a control orifice without pressurising the
switch enclosure.
INSTALLATION
The instruments are designed to be mounted vertically with
the process connection underneath. However, mounting
up to 45° from the vertical in any plane is acceptable,
although a small calibration shift may occur. They can be
mounted either direct to process, or to a wall or panel
using the four mounting holes 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. To avoid undue stresses being imparted to
the instrument when wall / panel mounted, it is
recommended that a short length of flexible line be
installed between the instrument and process line.
Take care to select and install adaptors to the electrical
entry that do not reduce the enclosure degree of
protection.
NOTE: Enclosure Codes H & T for NEMA 4X use.
To ensure performance of enclosure, careful installation
and sealing of cable gland in situ is required.
On enclosures H, R, T and U, remove the lid using an
appropriate tool if tight eg edge of spanner or metal rod (fig
2).
Use a spanner to support the process connection when
fitting the instrument. When fitting the instrument lid make
sure the ‘O’ ring is in good condition and fitted correctly.
On enclosures H, R, T, U, B remove the lid using an
appropriate tool if tight eg edge of a spanner or metal rod
(see fig 2).

OPERATION
Pressure switches are supplied calibrated against falling
pressure unless otherwise specified. Set Point adjustment
refers to falling pressure. Switching differential is the
difference between the set point and the operating value
on rising pressure. For opening details see Figs 2, 6, 7, 8.
Set Point Adjustment: Models S21, S22 (Figs 3, 4)
1. Isolate the instrument from the process and power.
2. Loosen lid lock screw and remove the lid.
3. Retain in a safe place to avoid damage to threads.
4. Slacken the set point lock screw.
5. Rotate the set point adjuster screw as required. Rotate
clockwise to increase the set point and counter-clockwise
to decrease the set point.
6. Tighten the set point lock screw.
7. Replace the instrument lid (see maintenance).
Switching Differential Adjustment: Models S22 (Figs 3,
4, 5)
1. Isolate the instrument from process and power.
2. Loosen lid lock screw and remove the lid.
3. Retain in a safe place to avoid damage to threads.
4. Rotate the knurled plastic wheel on the microswitch to
adjust the switching differential. Rotate clockwise to
increase differential and counter-clockwise to reduce
differential.
Note: Rotating the knurled plastic wheel will alter the
operating value on rising pressure only.
5. Replace the instrument lid (see maintenance).
Note: For accurate setting, a suitable pressure gauge
must be used in conjunction with the above procedure. Do
not attempt to set the switch outside the scale limits.
Though 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.

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
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.
