6. Faults
CAUTION!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment
If faults cannot be eliminated by means of the listed measures, the instrument
must be taken out of operation immediately.
▶
Ensure that there is no pressure in the instrument and that the load circuit
is switched off. Protect against being put into operation accidentally.
▶
Contact the manufacturer.
▶
If a return is needed, please follow the instructions given in chapter 8.2
“Return”.
WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment caused
by media
Upon contact with hazardous media, harmful media (e.g. corrosive, toxic,
carcinogenic), and also with refrigeration plants and compressors, there is a
danger of physical injuries and damage to property and the environment.
Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high temperature and
under high pressure or vacuum may be present at the instrument.
▶
For these media, in addition to all standard regulations, the appropriate
existing codes or regulations must also be followed.
For further information see chapter 1 “General information”.
Faults Causes Measures
Contact is not switching
in accordance with the
specification at the set
switch point/reset point
Electrical connection
is interrupted.
Carry out a continuity test on the electrical connection lines.
Wiring error, e.g.
short-circuit
Check the pin assignment and correct it
if necessary
Electrical load
unsuitable.
Maintain the permissible electrical loads.
Contact contaminated.
Replace instrument
Switch differential
greater than the
switch point.
Carry out switch point setting with
matching test assembly, see chapter
5.2.
Vibrations Decouple the instrument mechanically.
Short-circuit Moisture in the
instrument.
Only use in ambient conditions for which
the ingress protection is suitable.
Contact chatter
(repeated, shortduration opening and
closing).
Vibrations Decouple the instrument mechanically.
5.5 Setting of the switch differential (option)
The handling instructions described here cannot be carried out on instrument versions
with fixed switch differential.
Before setting the switch differential, the handling steps in chapter 5.2 “Switch point
setting” must be carried out.
4. Release/build up the pressure slowly and check the reset point.
- If the pressure value of the reset point is too high, the adjustment screw for the
switch differential must be turned clockwise with the Allen key.
- If the pressure value of the reset point is too low, the adjustment screw for the
switch differential must be turned anticlockwise with the Allen key.
After correcting the switch differential, the switch point must be re-checked.
5. If the switch point and the reset point coincide with the required pressure values, the
switch point and switch differential setting is complete.
6. Close the cover again and fix it with the 4 supplied screws,
see chapter 2.1 “Overview”.
5.6 Commissioning
■
Check that the following torques for screw connections are maintained:
- Clamping screws and screw for locking plate: Approx. 0.6 Nm
- Case screws: Approx. 1.25 ... 1.5 Nm
■
Check the sealing at the process connection over the entire operating pressure
range before commissioning.
■
Pressure surges must be avoided at all costs, open the shut-off valves slowly.
■
The instrument must not be subjected to any external loading (e.g. use as a climbing
aid, support for objects).
