They can be unlocked using the manual reset.
This function is only guaranteed when used within
the specified limits– see page 7 (Technical data).
Any other use is considered as non-compliant.

Installation
CAUTION
Please observe the following to ensure that the DG
is not damaged during installation and operation:
– Continuous operation at high temperatures accel-
erates the ageing of elastomer materials. In places
where a high thermal capacity is required, thermal
equipment trips must be installed upstream of
theDG.
– Use approved sealing material only.
– Check max. ambient temperature – see
page7 (Technical data).
– When using silicone tubes, only use silicone tubes
which have been sufficiently cured.
– Vapours containing silicone must not be allowed
to get into the housing.
– Condensation must not be allowed to get into the
housing. At subzero temperatures malfunctions/
failures due to icing can occur.
– The service life will be shorter if subject to ozone
concentrations exceeding 200μg/m3. When in-
stalling outdoors, place the DG in a roofed area
and protect from direct sunlight (even IP65 ver-
sion). To avoid condensation, a cover with pres-
sure equalization element (see page6 (Pres-
sure equalization element)) can be used.
– Avoid subjecting the DG to strong or violent vibra-
tions.
– In case of highly fluctuating pressures, install a
restrictor orifice (see page6 (Restrictor orifice)).
▷
The DG must not be in contact with masonry.
Minimum clearance 20mm.
▷ Ensure that there is sufficient installation space.
▷ Ensure unobstructed view of the hand wheel.
▷ Installation position as required, preferably with
vertical diaphragm. Then the switching pointpS
corresponds to the scale valueSK set on the
hand wheel. In other installation positions, the
switching pointpS will change and no longer
correspond to the scale valueSK set on the
hand wheel. Check the switching point.
