1 Application
The pressure switch monitors extremely low pres-
sure differentials and triggers switch-on, switch-off
or switch-over operations if a set switching point is
reached.
The switching point can be adjusted using a hand
wheel.
The pressure switch monitors positive and negative gas
pressures on various industrial gas and air appliances,
such as boiler fan monitoring and differential pressure
monitoring in firing, ventilation and air-conditioning
systems.
C60 97 · Edition 01.193
Pressure switch C6097A switches in the event of decreasing pressure, C6097B switches in the event of
increasing pressure.
Pressure switches with manual reset lock off after
switching.
Pressure switches with an 0.2 mm (0.008") nozzle are
supplied with an integrated vent limiter, see page 8
(Vent limiter).

The air flow generated by the fan may be monitored as
follows:
The static pressure is monitored by the pressure switch
(PZL) as long as it can be demonstrated that the display consequently shows an adequate and secured flow
of air, or the pressure switch (PDS) checks the flow of air
via the differential pressure on the orifice.
If there is no air pressure supplied or if there is no differential pressure on the orifice, the system will be blocked.

Min./Max.
If the pressure is either too low or too high,
the min./max. pressure switch (PZL/PZH) switches in
order to avoid start-up or to initiate a safety shut-down.
Pressure switch C6097A switches with falling pressure,
C6097B switches with rising pressure.
Once the set switching point is reached, a micro switch
is activated in the pressure switch which is designed as
a change-over contact.
The switching pressure is adjusted using a hand wheel.

switches is limited by the nozzle. In the event of a
diaphragm tear, the escape of gas is limited to less

3.6 Wiring
When using silicone tubes, only use silicone tubes which
have been sufficiently cured. Vapours containing silicone can adversely affect the functioning of electrical
contacts. In the case of low switching capacities, such
as 24 V, 8 mA, for example, we recommend using an
RC module (22 Ω, 1 μF) in air containing silicone or oil.
C = 1 µFR = 22 Ω
NO

NC

In the case of high humidity or aggressive gas components (H2S), we recommend using a pressure switch
with gold contact due to its higher resistance to corrosion. Closed-circuit current monitoring is recommended under difficult operating conditions.

4.1 Installation
Installation in the vertical or horizontal position, or
sometimes upside down, preferably with vertical diaphragm.
If installed in a vertical position, the switching point p
will correspond to the scale value SK set on the hand
wheel. If installed in another position, the switching point pS will change and no longer correspond to
the scale value SK set on the hand wheel. Switching
point pS must be checked.
ps =
SK
ps = SK + 0.18 mbarps = SK - 0.18 mbar
The housing must not be in contact with masonry. Mini-
mum clearance 25 mm (1").
Continuous operation at high temperatures (e.g. maxi-
mum ambient temperature) accelerates the ageing
of elastomer materials and reduces the service life
(please contact manufacturer). Ozone concentrations
exceeding 200 µg /m
3
or gases containing more than
0.1 %-by-vol. H2S accelerate the ageing of elastomer
materials and reduce the service life.
S
Vapours containing silicone can adversely affect the
functioning of electrical contacts. When using silicone
tubes, only use silicone tubes which have been sufficiently cured.
Condensation must not be allowed to get into the
housing (if possible, install pipework with an ascending
gradient). Otherwise, there is a risk of icing of condensation at subzero temperatures, the switching point
shifting or corrosion in the device which can lead to
malfunctions.
When installing outdoors, place the pressure switch
in a roofed area and protect from direct sunlight (even
IP 65 version).
In case of highly fluctuating pressures, install a restrictor orifice, see page 17 (Restrictor orifice).

Port 4 is connected to the micro switch chamber.
For this reason, pipes carrying gas must not be con-

If necessary, port 4 (1/8" NPT) can be used to connect
the venting line.
A filter pad at port 4 protects the electrical contacts in
the pressure switch from dirt particles in the surrounding air or in the medium.

C6097A3012, C6097A3038, C6097A3095,
C6097A3111 lock off if the pressure drops to the set
switching point.
For resetting, the pressure must have risen to at least
the set switching point plus the pressure differential
between the switching pressure and possible reset.
C6097B3002, C6097B3028, C6097B3051 lock off if
the pressure rises to the set switching point.
For resetting, the pressure must have dropped to
at least the set switching point minus the pressure
differential between the switching pressure and
possible reset.
For details of the pressure differential between the
switching pressure and possible reset, see page 22
(Adjusting range, switching hysteresis).
