Functions of the pressure switch

Automatic operation of the pump
When a shut-off device in the pressure line is
opened, the pump is automatically switched on
by the pressure switch. When the shut-off device
is closed, the pressure switch switches off the
pump again once the maximum pump pressure is
reached.
Protection of the pump against dry running
The pressure switch is equipped with a safety
device that switches off the pump in the event of
a lack of water.
The pump is switched off after approx. 45 s, sig-
nalled by the lighting up of the "Failure" LED.
