10. Switch contacts (optional)

These switch contacts are fitted into the case of a pressure gauge and intended to make or
GB
break an electric control circuit triggered by the position of the instrument's pointer.
Versions
Single and double magnetic snap-action contacts or single and double inductive alarm
sensors. Please refer to data sheet AC 08.01 for technical data.
The modular switch contact is a self-contained unit, which can be built onto the pressure
gauge within a few minutes.
The switch contacts provide IP65 ingress protection even for oil-filled gauges. The connec-
tion to the instrument pointer is made by means of a special fork so that a carrying pin at
the pointer itself is not necessary. By means of this simple mounting, the instrument can be
converted into a contact measuring instrument quickly and inexpensively.
The switch contacts mainly comprise:
the pre-wired switch contact, which is provided with a special foot and a fork coupling
„
a transparent hood (polycarbonate) with dovetail lead into which the alarm contact is
„
pushed and which is fastened by means of a recessed head screw
a 4-pin plug socket, injection-moulded or welded to the transparent cover
„
an adjustable lock, mounted in the middle of the transparent cover.
„
The set pointers of the built-in
switch contact are adjusted, to
the value at which the contact
should switch, from the outside
via the adjustable lock using a
separate or a rigidly mounted
key.
The switch contacts are
designed to allow the instru-
ment pointer to move beyond
the adjusted set pointer after
contact actuation takes place,
with the contact remaining
actuated.
The design therefore guaran-
tees a stable switching condi-
tion, which corresponds to
the position of the instrument
pointer, even if the power fails.
