MPa = bar ÷ 10 / kPa = bar × 100
Analogue measuring range for PN004A = 0...10 bar.
Avoid static and dynamic overpressure exceeding the given overload
pressure by taking appropriate measures.
The indicated bursting pressure must not be exceeded.
Even if the bursting pressure is exceeded only for a short time, the unit
may be destroyed. NOTE: Risk of injury!
4 Function
4.1 Processing of the measured signals
• The unit displays the current system pressure.
• It generates 2 output signals according to the parameter setting.
OUT1 Switching signal for system pressure limit value.
OUT2 Analogue signal 4...20 mA / 0...10 V.

UK
4.2 Switching function
OUT1 changes its switching state if it is above or below the set switching limits
(SP1, rP1). The following switching functions can be selected:
• Hysteresis function / normally open: [OU1] = [Hno] (→ fig. 1).
• Hysteresis function / normally closed: [OU1] = [Hnc] (→ fig. 1).
First the set point (SP1) is set, then the reset point (rP1) with the requested
difference.
• Window function / normally open: [OU1] = [Fno] (→ fig. 2).
• Window function / normally closed: [OU1] = [Fnc] (→ fig. 2).
The width of the window can be set by means of the difference between SP1 and
rP1. SP1 = upper value, rP1 = lower value.
