Ⅳ．SETTING OF PRESSURE
1. Switch contact configuration
・Composition of contact of this instrument is as shown on the right.
・If the instrument is not applied by differential pressure we call such “normal condition”.
・At normal condition, the contact between 1(COM.) and 2(N.C.)
is closed, and between 1(COM.) and 3(N.O.) is open.
・With increase of differential pressure and reaching the
actuation pressure, the contact will be changed over ;
between 1(COM.) and 2(N.C.) is opened and between
1(COM.) and 3(N.O.) is closed.
2. Setting of upper limit/ lower limit
・When differential pressure applied to the instrument is
increased starting from zero and changes over the electric
contact from N.C. (normal close) to N.O. (normal open), the
pressure at this moment is called “actuation pressure”.
・When this differential pressure decreases from the pressure
higher than this actuation pressure activating electrical
contact and returning the contact from N.O. (normal open) to
N.C. (normal close), the pressure at this moment is called
“reset pressure”.
・There is certain difference between actuation pressure and reset pressure and this is called “dead band”.
・There are two types of the instrument. One is called “upper limit setting type”type (H) whose scale of
setting knob is adjusted on actuation pressure, the other is called “lower limit setting type”type (L)
which is adjusted on reset pressure.
・Depending on the purpose of use, choose the instrument either “upper limit setting type”or “lower limit setting type”
Please confirm the following table about the respective movement.
In case of 1-10 kPa range with set value 1 kPa. (dead band is 0.7 kPa)
Setting of scale Adjusting of scale Movement of contact
Upper limit
setting type Adjusted in activating pressure
When the differential pressure increases, the circuit is
closed between N.O. and COM. at 1 kPa.
Then as the differential pressure decreases, the circuit is
opened between N.O. and COM. at 0.3 kPa.
Lower limit
setting type Adjusted in reset pressure
When the differential pressure increases, the circuit is
closed between N.O. and COM. at 1.6 kPa.
Then as the differential pressure decreases, the circuit is
opened between N.O. and COM. at 1 kPa.

Caution
It can't be changed from the lower limit setting to the upper limit setting or vice versa.

3．Setting the dial
Use the dial and pointer, when you set the “Activating pressure” or “Reset pressure”.
Set the "Activating pressure" for the upper limit setting.
Set the "Reset pressure" for the lower limit setting.
Set the tip of the pointer to the pressure you desire by knobbing the outer periphery of the dial to rotate the
dial. Turning the pointer from the lower side (anti-clockwise) is recommended to set accurately with good
reproducibility. Turning the pointer from the lower side (anti-clockwise) is recommended to set accurately
with good reproducibility.
4. Reset time
The reset time means the time needed for the differential pressure to decline to the reset pressure from the
activating pressure (i.e., the electrical contact is reset) when the differential pressure is sharply reduced to
zero. It is about three seconds at 20 Pa, and one second at more than 50 Pa for Manostar switches. (This
value is only for the instrument itself and does not include the effect of piping.) Therefore, a response
quicker than this value is not possible.
△
！
Caution
Do not turn the dial too much exceeding the upper bound or the lower bound of the scale.
It causes performance deterioration and the failure.

Ⅴ．ABOUT BUILT-IN SWITCH
1. Material of contact
The product has been plated a gold layer on the point of contact to get the contact reliability of the point on
the low electrical load.
The gold film is damaged when using by general use.
△
！
Caution
Once the product has been used for general load, it cannot be used for low electrical load.
2. About measured gas and contact failure
a) Corrosive gas
If the gas to be measured contains corrosive gases (nitric acid, hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid,
ammonia, chlorine, and so on), they may cause electrical contact failure or corrosion of internal
mechanism, which leads to malfunction of the switch. Do not use the switch for the gases containing
high humid air because in such gases, the arc generated by opening/ closing the contact produces nitric
acid, and it may also cause electrical contact failure or malfunction of switches.
b) Silicone gas
If the gas to be measured contains silicon produced from silicon (contained in oil, grease, filling agent,
and so on), the gas produced by arc, generates by opening/ closing the contact, accumulates on the
contact surface and causes contact failure. Take corrective measures such as the removal of the gas
source or arc suppression.
c) Dust and organic gas
The film can be made to the switch part by the composition of the gas. In addition, the dust contained in
the gas to be measured can adhere to the contact surface and be changed into carbide caused the
contact failure by the arc generated when the contact is opened or closed. Therefore, pay attention to
the measurement environment as well.
(Even with gold alloy contact, be careful about the dust.)

Caution
As the opening/ closing frequency of the contact increases, wear dust from the
contact increases. This wear dust accumulates between the contacts to increase the
contact resistance and causes the malfunction in the load circuit.
In particular, the surrounding where there exists continuous vibration and impact will be
most likely to cause contact failure due to worn powder.
