Must be used with a certied Ex ia barrier
satisfying the input parameters.
Installation
A set of Pg13.5 cable gland is attached to the RT in a separate bag. To
ensure IP66 (units with automatic reset) or IP54 (units with external
reset) grade of RT enclosure it is necessary to assemble this gland
as shown in the g. 6. If this gland is not used with a cable, a metal
blinding should be also assembled.
The RT pressure switch is designed for tting on the valve panel or the
compressor. Use the mounting holes (25). If the unit can be exposend
to vibration, it should be mounted on a resilient pad. If pressure
pulsations occur in the system at the point where the pressure switch
is connected, these should be eectively damped, as for example, by
connecting the RT unit to the system via damping coil.
Electrical connection (see g. 8 and g. 9)
START = make. STOP = break. DIFF = dierential.
Cable diameter: 6 – 14 mm
The earth terminal (38) should be connected to earth.
Wire dimension: min. 0,75 mm²
Adjustment

(see g. 1, g. 2 and g. 8)
Set the pressure switch for minimum actuating pressure (range setting).
Setting is done by rotating the knob (5), at the same time reading the
main scale (9).
The dierential is set by rotating the dierential adjusting nut (19)
according to the nomogram concerned (g. 5 or g 7).
Maximum actuating pressure is the sum of the pressure setting and the
dierential.
RT 260AE, RT 262AE
See g. 4 and g. 8
Set the required dierential pressure with the setting disc (5) while at
the same time reading the scale (9).
RT 6AEW, RT 6AEB, RT 6AES (see g. 3 and g. 9)
After removing the seal cap (7), set the cut out pressure with the
uncovered range spindle while reading the scale (9).
Safety requirements
1. The refrigeration system must always comply with European
Ex installation standard, EN 60079-14, any local directive and
legislation as well as any other regulation applying in the area of
installation.
2. RT-E switch must be used only with reliable means of limiting
the voltage and current to prevent sparks between the contact
surfaces. The equipment to be used for electrical load limiting
must always be approved for use in the zone concerned.
3. Cable and cable entries approved for the application must be used.
Cables must not be in contact with sharp edges. The cable must
be connected with adequate stress relief in order to prevent that
pulling forces can be carried through the cable to the terminal.
4. In the event of pressure pulsations in the system, where the switch
is connected, these must be eectively damped to prevent fatigue
failure on the bellows. The cycle frequency of the RT-E switch must
be kept as low as possible. The vibration level must be kept as low
as possible.
5. It is recommended to regularly check the function of theRT-E
switch.
6. Only apparatus designed, constructed and released by Danfoss
must be used for application concerned. Danfoss can accept no
responsibility in case of alterations made on the pressure switches
or the use of them against the instructions of Danfoss.
7. Any overload of the RT switch must be prevented. Overloaded or
damaged apparatus must be exchanged.
8. Only authorised persons, who are certied in installing and
maintaining refrigration system may do the installation,
maintenance and exchange of the switch.
9. Use only appropriate tools.
10. Dispose of the switch in an environmentally-friendly way.
11. RTE switches must be installed in area where is low risk of
mechanical damage.
12. Components within the equipment can exceed the enclosure
temperature by 1K (1°C). When the media temperature exceeds
80°C, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the media
temperature does not cause a thermal ignition risk on parts
between the media and the switch enclosure. Maximum media
temperature on pressure switch is 100°C.
13. Isolation of the intrinsically safe circuit to ground and to the
contact mounting screw has been veried through 500VACrms
dielectric strength testing, carried out in accordance with IEC
60079-11:2011 sec tion 10.3.
14. Surface of the front cover is sputtered with stainless steel - avoid
abrasion.
15. Power must be switched o before maintenance and opening the
RT-E.
Specic conditions of use:
The enclosure fascia has been coated with a layer of stainless steel to prevent the
accumulation of electrostatic charge. In order to ensure that there is no accumulation of
electrostatic charge on the enclosure, the end user shall ensure that the external metal
work of the enclosure is locally bonded to earth. Information on the durability of the
coating with regards to use of the equipment is contained within the instruction manual.
