1. GENERAL NOTES
1.1FOREWORD
The wrong choice of a models or a version, as well as the
incorrect installation, lead to malfunction and reduce instrument
life. Failure to follow the indications given in this manual can
cause damage to the instrument, the environment and persons.
1.2ALLOWED OVERRANGE
Pressures exceeding the working range can be occasionally
tolerated provided they remain within the limits stated in the
instrument features (vacuum or proof pressure). Continuous
pressures exceeding the working range can be applied to the
instrument, provided they are clearly stated in the instrument
features. The current and voltage values stated in the technical
specifications and ratings must not be exceeded. Transitory
overranges can have a destructive effect on the switch.
1.3MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS
Can generally lead to the wearing of some parts of the instrument
or cause spurious action. It is therefore recommended that the
instrument be installed in a place where there are no vibrations.
In cases where this is impossible it is advisableto take measures
to lessen the effects (elastic supports, installation with the pin of
the microswitch positioned at right angles to the vibration plane,
etc.).
1.4TEMPERATURE
Due to the temperature of both the environment and the process
fluid, the temperature of the instrument could exceed the allowed
limits (normally from -40° to +60°C). Therefore, in case it does,
suitable measures (protection against heat radiation, fluid
separators, cooling coils, heated lockers) must be taken. The
process fluid or its impurities must not in any case solidify inside
the instrument chambers
2. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The differential pressure, acting on the sensitive diaphragm
element, determines its elastic deformation which is used to
actuate one or two electric microswitches adjusted at set point
values. The microswitches are of the snap acting type with
automatic reset. When the pressure moves away from the set
values, returning towards the normal values, the switch is reset.
The dead band (difference between the set point value and the
reset value) can be set or adjustable (letter R in the contact
codes).

4. IDENTIFICATION PLATE AND MARKINGS
The instrument is fitted with a metal plate bearing all its functional
characteristics and in case of flameproof or intrinsic safety
execution also the markings prescribed by standard IEC/EN
60079-0. Fig.1 shows the plate mounted on flameproof
instruments.

5. SET POINT REGULATION
Each microswitch is independent and can be adjusted by means
of a screw (for adjustment) to snap when the pressure reaches
(increasing or decreasing) the desired value (set point). The
instrument is usually supplied with the switches adjusted at the
setting range value nearest to zero (factory calibration). The
instrument is supplied with a label showing the set point
calibration value. With factory calibration the values are not
indicated, as these are temporary and will be modified with the
definitive values. Prior to installation the instrument must be
calibrated and the definitive calibration values written on the
label.
If the instrument has been ordered with a specific calibration,
check the calibration values marked on the relevant label, prior
to installation.
The position of the adjustment screw is given in figure 2.

The effect that the direction of rotation of the adjustment screw
has is described on the label.
6. SET POIT CALIBRATION
In order to proceed with the calibration and the periodical
functional verification of the instrument a suitable calibration
circuit (Fig. 3) and an adequate pressure source is required. The
test instrument shouldhave ameasurement range approximately
equal to or slightly wider than the pressure switch range and
should have an accuracy consistent with the accuracy required
to calibrate the set point.

6.1.2Flameproof pressure switches (Models DA)
CAUTION: do not open the cover of flameproof pressure
switches (Models DA) when energized, in explosive
atmospheres.
Loosen the locking headless screw situated on the cover using a
1,5 hexagonal key then unscrew the cover (fig.5). Remove the
internal blocking device inserted on the closure plugs and slide
out the plugs.
Fig. 5 - Flameproof pressure switch blocking device
6.2CALIBRATION CIRCUIT AND OPERATIONS
Prepare the calibration circuit as indicated in Fig.3.
The warning lamps should be connected to contact 1 or 2 in the
NO or NC position according to the required contact action.
Connection of C and NO terminals
• If the circuit is open at the working pressure, the switch closes
the circuit as the pressure increases when the desired value is
reached.
• If the circuit is closed at the working pressure, the switch opens
the circuit as the pressure decreases when the desired value is
reached.
Connection of C and NC terminals
• If thecircuit is closed atthe working pressure, theswitch opens
the circuit as the pressure increases when the desired value is
reached.
• If the circuit is open at the working pressure, the switch closes
the circuit as the pressure decreases when the desired value is
reached.
The pressure switch must be mounted in the normal installation
position, i.e. with the pressure connection pointing downwards.
Avoid forcing the elastic support of the microswitch by hand or
with tools. This could affect the instrument functioning.
CAUTION: if the switch is of the kind with adjustable dead band
(letter R in the contact codes) before proceeding with the
following operations it is necessary to proceed with the
adjustment of the dead band.
Increase the pressure in the circuit up to the desired set point
value for the first microswitch. Use a wide bladed screwdriver, as
indicated on the label, turn the screw until the relative lamp turns
on (or turns off).
- If the instrument is equipped with only one contact the
calibration is complete.
- If it is equipped with two contacts continue in the following
manner. Vary the pressure until the desired set point value for
the second microswitch is reached. Act on the adjustment screw
of the second contact.
Repeat calibrating operations on the first contact, then on the
second contact, until the required set point accuracy is obtained.
This is necessary due to the reciprocal influence which the
microswitches have on the sensitive element of the instrument.
CAUTION: if the two set point are different theymust be different
for much of 5% of the adjustable span.
6.3CHECK OF SET POINT
Generate the normal working pressure and wait the pressure
stabilisation. Vary the pressure into the circuit and record the set
point value. Write the set point values on the adhesive label.
Note: the repeatability should be checked verifying for three
times the set point (Pi) starting always from the same pressure
value (Pw). The pressure cycle should be slowly to give the
possibility to record the set point with accuracy.
6.4CALIBRATION CIRCUIT FOR INSTRUMENT WITH
ADJUSTABLE RANGE LESS TO 60 mbar
The calibration circuit used for the calibration of these
instruments must be:
- of big internal volume (5 liters or bigger) in order to reduce the
effect of volumetric variation (and therefore of pressure) caused
by the sensing element of the pressure switch during the snap
action.
- in a thermally stable place in order to guarantee stability to the
pressure inside the circuit used for the calibration.
Have to be considered that in a closed circuit with the internal
pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure, the variation of
temperature of 1°C causes in the circuit a pressure variation of
3,4 mbar.
The maximum inlet pressure must not exceed the lesser of
overpressure allowed by the pressure switch and the test gauge.
The test instrument should have a measurement range
approximately equal to or slightly wider than the pressure switch
range and should have an accuracy consistent with the accuracy
required to calibrate the set point.
For example DW10 range 0..16mbar the accuracy of the test
gauge must be ± 0,04 mbar to calibrate the set point with an
accuracy of ± 0,16 mbar (1% of the adjustable span).

6.5ADJUSTMENT OF DEAD BAND (LETTER R ON
THE MODEL CODE)
The dead band can be adjusted only on the instrument is
equipped with a microswitch, which allows adjusting (Letter R on
the model code). Adjustment may be obtained by rotating the
wheel placed on the microswitch (Fig. 7).
In order to carry out this operation it is advisable to use a blade
screwdriver.
Fig. 7 –Adjustment of dead band
Set point calibration screw
Dead band adjustment wheel
WARNING: rotate the wheel without pushing too much the blade
against it.
The instrument is normally delivered adjusted on the minmum
value of its range (factory calibration).
Calibration of dead band
The calibration of the dead band is obtained using the following
procedure:
1 - Raise pressure in the circuit until reaching the set point and
record its value (Pi).
2 - Reduce pressure in the circuit until reaching the reset point
and record its value (Pr).
3 - The difference Pi - Pr = Va represents the dead band factory
adjusted value.
4 - Rotate the adjustment wheel in the sense shown in Fig. 6
placing the red notch in horizontal position
5 - Repeat operations 1 and 2 and measure the new dead band
Vb.
6 - By comparingthe values Vaand Vb approximately determine
the color of the wheel notch to be placed on the mark.
7 - Place the notch and measure the obtained dead band.
8 - Proceed by successive approximations until reaching the
desired dead band value with enough accuracy.
9 - Then proceed with the set point calibration
Example: The dead band increase corresponding to the rotation
from A to B is given by: Vb - Va =I
The desired dead band V will be approximately in the position
indicated by the value
IVK
which expresses:
- By units, the wheel notches (1=one black notch, 2=one red
notch, 3=one yellow notch, 4=one blue notch, 5=one green
notch, 6=two black notches).
- By decimal digits, the percentage middle position between
the located notch (of units) and the following one.
6.6FINAL OPERATIONS
Disconnect the instrument from the calibration circuit.
1.1.1 Weatherproof pressure switches (Models DW)
Take the cover, ensure that the sealing gasket is correctly fitted
into its seat, and insert the cover onto the case, with the blocking
gap positioned in correspondence to the blocking bracket.
Turn the cover clockwise closing it tightly. Mount the blocking
device as in Fig. 4. Mount on pressure connection and cable
entry the protection caps supplied with the instrument.
1.1.2 Flameproof pressure switches (Models DA).
Insert the closure plugs of the adjustment screw access holes,
block them using the internal device and if necessary seal them
with plumbing. Screw on the cover and block it using the
headless screw with which it is equipped (Fig. 5)
1.1.3 Final operations
Mount on pressure connection and cable entry the protection
caps supplied with the instrument.
Caution: The protection caps should only be definitively
removed during the connection steps (see § 7).
7. MOUNTING AND CONNECTIONS
7.1MOUNTING
Surface mount the instrument by means of the holes provided,
or pipe mount using the appropriate bracket (see Fig. 14,15 e
16). In case of surface or panel or rack mounting the instruments
can be mounted side by side (see Fig.19).
The chosen position must be such that vibrations, the possibility
of shocks ortemperature changes are within tolerable limits.With
gas or vapour process fluid, the instrument must be positioned
higher than the pipe inlet (see Fig.18). With a liquid process fluid,
the instrument can be positioned higher or lower, indifferently
(see Fig.17 e 18).
7.2INSTRUMENT WITH DIAPHRAGM SEALS
When the pressure switch is mounted on diaphragm seal with
capillary and the set point is less than 10 bar, the gap (distance
h) between one diaphragm seal and instrument or between the
two diaphragm seals generates a column of liquid, whose
pressure equivalent constitutes a drift of set point. The set point
has to be adjusted consequently.
7.3PRESSURE CONNECTIONS
Connecting lines are an integral part of the instrument in
transmitting the measured variable from the measuring point to
the instrument.
For a correct installation it is necessary to:
Mount a shut-off valve with drain (root valve) on each process
pipe inlet to allow the instrument to be excluded and the
connection tubing to be drained. It is recommended that said
valve has a capstan blocking device aimed at preventing it being
activated casually and without authorisation.
Mount a 3 valve manifold near the instrument to permit possible
functional verification on site and removal of the instrument. It is
recommended that the manifold is made up of two service valves,
one by-pass valve and two suitably connected drain plugs. The
three valves with the drains can be reunited by a single device
called a “Three valve manifold” (see fig.21 for flanged manifold
valve and fig.22 for direct manifold valve).
Mount a three piece joint onto the threaded attachment of the
instrument to permit the easy mounting or removal of the
instrument itself.
Carry out the connection using a flexible tube in such a way that
variations in the temperature of the tube itself do not force the
instrument attachment.
Ensure that all the pressure connections are airtight. It is
important that there are no leakage in the circuit.
Close root valves, the two service valves, drain plugs and open
the by-pass valve.
NOTE: if the instrument is used for level control in tanks under
pressure it is recommended that installation is carried out
according to the diagram in figure 23 and 24
In case of installation as per fig 23 ensuring that the seal pot B
has a sufficient capacity to maintain the liquid level at the
maximum height over time.
V = 5 l

7.4INSTRUMENTS WITH PROCESS CONNECTION
COATED WITH PTFE
The pressure connection must be made in such a way that the
part protruding from the instrument have to be used as a sealing
ring.
Fig.8 - Instrument with process connection coated with PTFE
7.5ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
It is recommended to carry out the electrical connections
according to the applicable standards. In case of flameproof
instrument see also the Standard IEC-60079-14. If the electrical
connection is carried out in a protected tube, it shall be made so
that condensate is prevented from entering instrument enclosure
To guarantee the ingress protection IP66 and prevent loosening
of the blocking joint or cable glands, it is prescribed to seal the
threads with an anaerobic sealant. For example, use a sealant
like Loctite ® 542.
CAUTION: fittings used for the electrical connection of the
flameproof instruments shall be certified according theIEC or EN
standards and shall guarantee instrument degree of protection
(IP66).
In the case of Gk threads, this is made in accordance with
standard UNI-EN 60079-1 (Italian national variant).
The installation of the cable gland or three-piece joint should be
as per fig 9.
Fig. 9 –Installation of electrical connection
With the instrument into the final position provided that the
electric line is not energize, remove the cover and make the
electrical connection to the terminal block (see Fig. 2).
If the ambient temperature exceeds 60 °C is recommended to
use cables suitable foroperating temperatures of at least 105 °C.
Flexible cables with a maximum section of 1,5 mm2(16AWG) are
recommended using the pre-insulated crimp ring terminal.
Do not touch the adjustment screws and do not bend the
elastic microswitch supports in order to prevent the instrument
calibration being altered. Ensure that no deposits or wire ends
remain inside the case.
Warning: The instrumentmay be equipped with one or twomicro
switches SPDT type. All the electrical connection must be part of
intrinsically safe circuits. The relevant parameters for intrinsic
safety are listed on the nameplate of the instrument.
The tightening of the cable gland or the three-piece joint must be
performed as shown in Fig. 10.
Fig. 10 –Installation of the cable gland
As soon as connection steps are completed, mount the cover on
and make sure it is tight and blocked See fig 4 and 5.
7.5.1CONNETTOR 7 POLES TYPE MIL-5015 FOR WEATHER

7.6GROUNDING CONNECTIONS
The instrument is supplied with two grounding connections, one
external and one internal. The connections are suitable for a
earthing wires of 4 mm2section (fig. 2).
8. INSTRUMENT PLUMBING
Weatherproof pressure switches (Models DW)
The plumbing, aimed as a guarantee against possible tampering
of the calibration and electrical connections, can be carried out
using a flexible steel wire (a) inserted into the holes in the locking
nut (c) and the bracket (d) provided for this purpose (see Fig. 4).
Flameproof pressure switches (Models DA)
Plumbing is not necessary as the cover is blocked with a
headless screw, the closure plugs of the adjustment screw
access holes are blocked by means of the internal blocking
device and the instrument does not have to be opened when
installed (see Fig. 5).
9. SAFETY INTEGRITY LEVEL (SIL) INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
The pressureswitch has been evaluated as TypeA safety related
hardware. It has an hardware fault tolerance of 0 if it is used in
one out one configuration (1oo1). The installation has to be
designed to allow a proof test to detect dangerous undetected
fault using, as example, the following procedure:
- Take appropriate action to avoid a false trip
- Force the switch to reach a define max or min threshold
value and verify that output goes into the safe state.
- Force the switch to reach a define normal threshold value
and verify that output goes into the normal state.
- Repeat the check two times evaluating average set point
value and repeatability,
- Restore the loop to full operation
- Restore normal operation
10. PUTTING INTO OPERATION
The instrument comes into operation as soon as the root valves
are opened and then, afterwards, the service valve attached to
the instrument + (H) inlet pipe is opened, the by-pass valve
closed and the service valve attached to the instrument –(L) inlet
pipe is opened. Any possible drainage of the connection tubing
can be carried out by opening the drains positioned on the
instrument.
Do not dispose of the process fluid into the environment, if this
can cause pollution or damage to people
NOTE: if the instrument is used for level control in tanks under
pressure and is installed according to the diagram in Fig. 23
proceed as follows:
Close the root valves V1 and V2 open the valves V3 V4 V5 (the
service and by-pass valves). Fill with the process fluid, from plug
S positioned on the seal pot B, bleeding air from the plug S
positioned on the seal pot near the V2 valve. Then close S and
top up the liquid in B. Remove air from the breather plug S+ and
S- positioned on the instrument, topping up the liquid in B. Close
the plug SB and the by-pass valve V5 and open the root valves
V1 and V2. The instrument is ready for use.
If the instrument is installed according to Fig. 24 close the
root valves V1, V2 and V5, open the valves V3 and V4. Open the
draining D. Fill with the process fluid, from plug B bleeding air
from the plug S+. Vent carried out, the instrument will read
pressure
p=
• h1 corresponding to zero level in the vessel.
Close plugs S and D. First open valve V2 slowly, then V1. The
in-strument is ready to operate.
11. VISUAL INSPECTION
Periodically check the external condition of the enclosure. There
should be no trace of leakage of process fluid outside the
instrument.
In case of flameproof or intrinsic safety instruments, inspections
of the electrical installation are to be carried out also according
to customer procedures and at least in accordance with Standard
EN-60079-17.
The flameproof and the intrinsic safety instruments installed in
explosive atmospheres for the combustible dust presence, must
be periodically cleaned up externally in order to avoid dust
accumulating.
11.1INSTRUMENTS WITH PROCESS CONNECTION
COATED WITH PTFE
These instruments are usually installed on process with high
corrosion resistance requirements. To verify the condition of
PTFE the process connection is equipped with an inspection
hole. During the visual inspection check the absence of fluid. On
the contrary the instrument have to be replaced.
12. FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION
This will be carried out according to the Customer’s control
procedures and because of their particular operating principle,
have to be functional inspected every year as minimum if used
as an alarm of max pressure
Models Dinstruments can be verified on the plant if installed as
illustrated in Fig. 17 or 18.
To avoid any risk it is recommended check the set point on site
without open the cover, without dismount the cable gland and
without unplugging the power cable.
The flameproof or intrinsic safety instruments may be checked
on site only if the apparatus used are suitable for explosive
atmosphere.
If this is not the case it is necessary remove the instrument from
the plant, and carry out the verification in a testing room.
If the verification of the set point is performed unplugging the
power cable from the terminal block it is recommended de-
energize the instrument to avoid any electrical hazard.
WARNING: Instrument models DA, flameproof.
Before open the cover or the cable gland check the absence of
explosive atmosphere and check that the instrument is not
energized.
Verification consists in check the calibration value and possibly
regulating the adjustment bush (see §5).
13. STOPPING AND DISMOUNTING
Before proceeding with these operations ensure that the plant or
machines have been put into the conditions foreseen to allow
these operations.
With reference to Figures 17 e 18
Remove the power supply (signal) from the electrical line. Close
the root valve (6) and open the drain. Remove the plug (2), open
the valve (3) and wait until the process fluid has drainedfrom the
tubing through the drain.
Do not dispose of the process fluid into the environment, if this
can cause pollution or damage to people.
Unscrew the three-piece joint (1).
WARNING: Instrument models DA, flameproof.
Before open the cover or the cable gland check the absence of
explosive atmosphere and check that the instrument is not
energized.
Unscrew the three-piece joint (11) (electrical cable tubing).
Remove the instrument cover and disconnect the electrical
cables from the terminal block and earth screws.
Remove the screws fixing the case to the panel (or pipe) and
remove the instrument, taking care to slide the electrical
conductors out from the case.
Mount instrument cover. Insulate and protect cables around, if
any. Temporarily plug pipes not connected to the instrument.
In case of flameproof instruments or intrinsic safetyit is
recommended to follow - at least –the standard IEC-60079-17
for the withdrawal from service of electrical apparatus.
14. DISPOSAL
The instruments are mainly made of stainless steel and
aluminium and therefore, once the electrical parts have been
dismounted and the parts coming into contact with fluids which
could be harmful to people or the environment have been
properly dealt with, they can be scrapped.
