This design allows for straightforward installation, minimizing downtime and complexity. The factory-set, non-adjustable mechanism ensures consistent operation without the need for on-site calibration, streamlining maintenance.
Accurate Monitoring for Industrial ApplicationsWith an accuracy of 2% of full scale and a clear NO/NC status indicator, the 901 EX delivers trustworthy feedback for pressure monitoring and control. This makes it suitable for a variety of industrial applications where precision and reliable status indication are critical, especially in hazardous locations.
FAQ's of Pressure switch 901 EX factory-set:
Q: How does the factory-set 901 EX pressure switch operate?
A: The 901 EX works by automatically switching its contacts when a pre-set pressure threshold is reached. Since it is factory-set, users cannot adjust the pressure setting on-site, ensuring reliable and consistent performance as calibrated.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the 901 EX pressure switch in hazardous areas?
A: The 901 EX is EX-certified for use in hazardous areas, offers reliable IP65 protection, and its anodized aluminium housing resists corrosion. It provides precise pressure control and status indication, ensuring safety and operational efficiency in demanding industrial environments.
Q: When should I choose a factory-set, non-adjustable pressure switch like the 901 EX?
A: The 901 EX is ideal when consistent, tamper-proof pressure settings are required, such as in standardized control systems or hazardous zone applications where field adjustment could compromise safety or reliability.
Q: Where can the 901 EX pressure switch be installed?
A: This switch can be installed on either DIN rails or panels, making it versatile for integration into a wide range of industrial control cabinets or enclosures, especially where compact and EX-certified devices are needed.
Q: What process connection is provided and what pressure ranges are available?
A: The 901 EX features a G 1/4 (female) process connection and is available with factory-set pressure thresholds up to 400 bar. Users should specify the required pressure range upon ordering as it cannot be adjusted in the field.
Q: How does the NO/NC status indicator on the micro-switch assist in operation?
A: The clearly visible NO/NC status indicator provides immediate feedback on the switch position, allowing for straightforward verification of the actuated state during operation or maintenance checks.
Q: What is the typical usage process for the 901 EX in an industrial setup?
A: After installation and wiring, the 901 EX continuously monitors system pressure. On reaching its factory-set point, it actuates the internal micro-switch, changing the output contact state. The integrated indicator provides visual confirmation of switching, helping operators monitor system status.
