6.4 Electrical connection
DANGER of hazardous electrical voltage!
Electrical work should be entrusted exclusively to a trained skilled electrical
worker.
6.4.1 Connecting the pressure switch
The electrical connection should be established by a skilled electrical engineering worker in
compliance with prevailing safety and accident prevention regulations. Pertinent installation and
operating regulations (e.g. for cable cross-sections, fuse protection, protective earth connection)
should be observed. Power supply conforming to EN 50178, SELV, PELV. Ensure when
introducing and screwing the connection cable that cable conductors are connected in accordance
with regulations to connection terminals. Ensure that the connection cable is not bent to avoid
short circuiting and interruptions.
Observe the 5 electrical safety rules:
6.4.2 Terminal assignment
The pressure switch is delivered from the factory with a cable socket conforming to
. Please refer to the technical data for the respective pressure switch for further
model type A
connection options.
Terminals 1-2: contact breaks if pressure rises
Terminals 1-3: contact makes if pressure rises
6.4.3 Earthing the pressure switch
Ensure that the pressure switch is adequately earthed:
The protective earth (PE ) should be connected in compliance with regulations for the
electrical connection.
