Pressure monitors / pressure limiters
These series are particularly suitable for
maximum pressure monitoring in steam and
hot-water systems. The pressure switch is
"of special construction", with a self-monitoring
pressure sensor, built in accordance with
Pressure Equipment Directive PED 97/23/EC.
It can be used as a pressure monitor or
a pressure limiter for maximum pressure
monitoring (systems in accordance with
TRD 604 DIN EN12828) systems in
accordance with DIN EN12952-11 and
DIN EN12953-9 and is available with or
without adjustment.

Mounting position
Vertically upright and horizontal.
Ambient temperature at switching device
–20 to +70°C.
Medium temperature
–20 to +70°C.
The maximum medium temperature at the
pressure sensor must not exceed the permitted
ambient temperature at the switching device.
Temperatures may reach 85°C for short
periods. Higher medium temperatures are
possible provided the upper limit at the
switching device is ensured by suitable
measures (e.g. siphon).
Mounting
Directly on the pressure line (pressure gauge
connection) or on a flat surface with two
4 mm Ø screws.
Calibration for maximum pressure switch
The pressure monitors and safety pressure
limiting devices are calibrated so that,
under
rising pressure,
switching takes place at the
defined switching pressure. The reset point
under falling pressure is lower by the amount of
the switching differential, or, in the case of
pressure limiting devices, by the fall in pressure
specified in the table. The scale value
corresponds to the upper switching point.

Pressure monitors / pressure limiters
In many aspects, safety-engineered pressure
limiters offer a higher degree of safety compared
with normal pressure switches and are therefore
especially suitable for chemical process
engineering and thermal installations in which
safety is an especially critical factor in pressure
monitoring. Pressure switches can also be used
in Ex- zones (zone 0, 1, 2 and 20, 21, 22) and,
in all cases, require an isolating amplifier.
The isolating amplifier is also responsible for
monitoring lines for short-circuit and line
break and therefore offers an additional safety
advantage – even in non-Ex-zones. For
Ex-applications, the isolating amplifier must be
installed outside the Ex-zone. The lines between
the isolating amplifier and the pressure switch
are monitored for short-circuit and line break.

Safety requirements for pressure limiters
Pressure limiters "of special construction" (DBS) must fulfil additional safety requirements, i.e. breakage
or leakage in the mechanical part of the sensor must lead to shutdown to the safe side. The pressure
limitermust respond as if the system pressure had already exceeded the maximum limit. The control
circuit for the pressure limiter must also be considered from the point of view of safety, as short-circuits
in the supply lines or other faults in the control current circuit can lead to dangerous conditions.
Switching element with positive opening operation and gold-plated contacts
The microswitch is equipped with positive opening operation. Rather than transmitting the plunger force
via a spring, which is the usual method with most microswitches, this newly developed microswitch has
an additional lever which transmits the movements of the pressure bellows positively to the contact lever.
If the spring breaks, the contact lever is moved directly.
Line break and short-circuit monitoring in the control circuit
The resistor connected in series with the switching contact limits the current to a defined value with the
switch closed. In the event of short-circuit in the area between the isolating amplifier and the series
resistor, the current rises above the predetermined limit value, the relay of the isolating amplifier drops
out, the output current circuit is interrupted and thus the safe condition is achieved. In the event of a line
break, the current flow is interrupted, the relay drops to the safe side and interrupts the output current
circuit (safety sequence). Furthermore, the isolating amplifier is designed so that, if faults occur in the
electronics (conductor interruption, component defect etc.) and in the resulting situations, the safe
shutdown condition is assured. These characteristics of the safety-engineered isolating amplifier,
including line break and short-circuit monitoring, satisfy the requirements of DIN/VDE 0660, Part 209.
Connection diagram
For pressure monitoring in Ex areas, the isolating amplifier must be installed outside the Ex-zone.
The pressure limiter has an intrinsically safe control current circuit (Ex-ia). This arrangement is suitable
for zones 0, 1 and 2, 20, 21 and 22.

series are calibrated for rising pressure. This means that
the adjustable switching pressure on the scale corresponds to the switching point at rising pressure.
The reset point is lower by the amount of the switching differential. (See also page 23, 2. Celebration
