FAQ's of Pressure switch 901 EX factory-set:
Q: How is the Pressure Switch 901 EX installed and where can it be used?
A: The 901 EX is designed for direct mounting, typically via its G1/4" threaded connection, and comes with a mounting bracket. It is suitable for hazardous locations in industrial automation, hazardous area monitoring, and protection of compressors or pumps, meeting all relevant explosion-proof standards.
Q: What ensures the explosion-proof safety of this pressure switch?
A: This device complies with Ex d IIC T6/Flameproof requirements per IS/IEC 60079-1. Its enclosure is made from pressure die-cast aluminum with an epoxy polyester powder coating, providing both mechanical strength and flameproof integrity for use in explosive atmospheres.
Q: When should the Pressure Switch 901 EX be chosen over standard switches?
A: Select the 901 EX when you require reliable pressure monitoring in hazardous or explosion-prone areas that handle clean air, gases, or non-corrosive fluids. Its flameproof certification and tamperproof, factory-set adjustment make it ideal for safety-critical environments.
Q: What types of electrical connections and switch contacts are available?
A: The switch is provided with three terminal screw-type connections and offers SPDT or DPDT snap-action contacts. It supports a maximum contact rating of 15A at 250VAC or 10A at 30VDC, ensuring compatibility with various industrial control systems.
Q: How does the factory-set, tamperproof feature benefit users?
A: Factory calibration and a sealed adjustment prevent unauthorized changes to the pressure set point, enhancing both operational safety and repeatability. This approach removes the risk of accidental field misadjustment, particularly valuable in applications demanding compliance and process integrity.
Q: Is this pressure switch suitable for all types of fluids?
A: It is engineered for clean air, gases, and non-corrosive fluids. The diaphragm is made from nitrile rubber or as per factory specifications, offering compatibility with standard industrial mediums-but it is not intended for aggressive, corrosive chemicals.
