IMPORTANT INFORMATION about Process Temperature Testing
Pressure Switches with the minimum Class 1 Div 1 name plate markings do not meet CSA C22.2 No
E60079-0:2007 which requires a maximum process temperature to be applied for explosion proof test-
ing.
All Robinson Pressure Switches in addition to meeting the minimum Class 1 Div 1 have also been tem-
perature tested to CSA C2.2 No E60079-0:2007 and are legally allowed to have the additional markings
of Ex d IIB+H2; IP54 Zone 1 AEx d IIB+H2; IP54 Tamb -40˚C to +60˚C; T4

F C
Dual Seal Certification Meets ANSI/ISA-12.27.01-2003 dual seal certification
Annunciation Check Valve
(a dual seal feature)
Visually indicates a primary seal failure.
Unlike open holes found on competitive models the Robinson check
valve prevents moisture and debris from contaminating internal
components.
Certification Areas Class 1 - Flammable Gas or Vapor, Division 1 - Intermittent Hazard
Gas Groups B, C, D Ensures safety for Hydrogen, Ethylene and Propane in environment
IEC Robinson Pressure Switch has been tested to international standards.
External Adjustment Simply rotate knurled adjustment collar to increase or decrease pres-
sure setting.
Security/Lockout
To prevent tampering or unauthorized use of the Pressure Switch a Car
Seal lockout devise can be installed on three components 1) electrical
enclosure cover 2) calibration screw/cap, and 3) set point adjustment
collar.
Process Connection NACE
(for sour service)
Process Connection Materials are chosen in accordance to NACE
MR0175-2003
Piston Orientation Eliminate the need for pulsation dampening
Field Service Microswitch replaceable, no need to disassemble Pressure Switch.
Diaphragm Servicing
Diaphragm can be replaced without disassembling Pressure Switch ,
Pin socket available for Diaphragm Nut, contact Robinson Pressure
Controls.
Low Ownership Costs Maintenance kits are available to renew Pressure Switch for service.
Cool Running Micro Switch Microswitch life is greatly extended as this pressure switch is
engineered to provide a much lower electrical enclosure temperature.
8 Features
7 Recommend Service
7.1 3 month interval - Verify operation by pressure testing, most importantly prior to cold
weather season.
7.2 Ensure Annunciation port (breathe cap/check valve) is free from obstruction.
7.3 Any amount of leakage no matter how slight indicates a primary seal failure and the
switch will need to be removed from service and rebuilt.
