A copy of this manual must always be kept accessible at the place of work for reference by concerned personnel. Chapter 1 (sections 1.2 through 1.7) contains general as well as specific safety instructions. Chapters 2 through 10, covering topics ranging from intended purpose of the equipment to its final disposal, also include important points relating to safety. Overlooking or ignoring any of these safety points can endanger humans and animals, and possibly cause damage to other equipment. 1.2. Personnel Qualification Personnel responsible for installation, operation, maintenance and inspection of this product must have the qualifications, training and experience necessary to carry out such work on this type of equipment. 1.3. Risks of Disregarding Safety Instructions Disregarding safety instructions, use of this product for purposes for which it is not intended, and/ or operation of this product outside the limits specified for any of its technical parameters, can result in harm to persons, the environment, or the plant on which it is installed. Fischer Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH will not be responsible for consequences in such circumstances. 1.4. Safety Instructions for Operators Safety instructions for the proper use of this product must be followed. This information must be available at all times to by personnel responsible for installation, operation, maintenance and inspection of this product. Adequate steps must be taken to prevent the occurrence of hazardous conditions that can be caused by electric energy and the convertible energy of the process media. Such conditions can, for example, be the result of improper electrical or process connections. Detailed information is available in relevant published norms (DIN EN, UVW in Germany; and equivalents in other countries), industrial standards such as DVWG, Ex-, GL-, VDE guidelines, as well as regulations of the local authorities (e.g., EVUs in Germany).

1.5. Modifications Forbidden Modification or other technical alteration of the product is not permissible. This also applies to the use of unauthorized spare parts for repair / maintenance of the product. Any modifications to this product, if and as necessary, should be done only by Fischer Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH. 1.6. Operational Restrictions The operational reliability of the product is guaranteed only when used for intended purposes. The product must be selected and configured for use specifically with defined process media. The limiting values of operating parameters, as given in the product specification sheet, must never be crossed. 1.7. Safety Considerations during Installation and Maintenance The safety instructions given in this manual, existing national regulations relating to accident prevention, and the internal safety rules and procedures of the user organization regarding safety during installation, operation and servicing must all be followed meticulously. It is the responsibility of the users to ensure that only suitably qualified and experienced technical personnel are used for installation, operation and servicing of this equipment. 2. Intended Applications The product must be used only for applications and under conditions specified by the manufacturer. The instrument is intended as indicator and switch for gaseous and liquid media. The inbuilt switching elements are adjustable slot-type initiators or delayed action or magnetic snap action limit contatcs. When the given limit is exceeded output circuits are opened or closed. 3. Product Description and Functions 3.1. Schematic Diagram 4 3 2 1 1 Sensing diaphragm 2 Sealing / spring bellows 3 Connecting rod 4 Pointer mechanism 3.2. Principles of Operation The pressures to be compared are connected to adjacent pressure chambers separated by a flexible metal diaphragm. The diaphragm is loaded by a pair of opposing coaxial bellows springs, one on each side of the diaphragm. The bellows on one side also serves to isolate the surrounding pressure chamber from the gauge mechanism, thus protecting the mechanism from the media. A connecting rod links the diaphragm through the isolating spring bellows to the dial mechanism. When pressures on both sides of the diaphragm are equal, the diaphragm is at zero deflection. When there is a pressure difference between the two chambers, the diaphragm is deflected away from the higher pressure chamber, towards the lower pressure chamber. The resulting linear displacement of the connecting rod is translated into angular movement of the gauge's dial pointer, through a precision mechanism. The angular movement of the pointer is proportional to the pressure difference across the diaphragm. 4. Installation Types with inbuilt limit switches need matching connection to fixed cable connection to guarantee protection class IP65. Its outer diameter needs to be between 7 and 13 mm. The instrument can be mounted on walls, mounting plates, tubes, in panels or on boards by adapted accessories (see. 11. Specifications and 12. Dimensions for details). The instrument is intended and factory adjusted for vertical mounting, pressure ports downward. When mounted in other orientation (max. ± 10 ) the pointers zero position needs to be adjusted (see 5.2). 4.1. Process Connections Only qualified technicians authorized for this type of work should undertake installation. Ensure that process equipment and pressure lines are at atmospheric pressure before making pressure connections. The instrument should be provided with suitable protection against pressure surges (e.g., snubber or pulsation damper). Ensure that the mechanical configuration and materials of construction of the instrument are compatible with the process media. Ensure that process pressure is always less than the specified safe pressure rating. 2

4.2. Electrical Connections Only qualified technicians authorized for this type of work should undertake installation. Electrical connections must comply with relevant international, national and local regulations and norms relating to electrical and instrumentation installations. Switch off electrical power to the plant before attempting electrical installation work of any kind. Make electrical connections to the instrument through a suitable energy-limiting safety device (isolation or zener barrier). 5. Commissioning Power supply and signal cabling to the instrument must be correctly selected to meet operational requirements, and installed in a way that does not cause physical stress to the instrument. Pressure lines must have a downward gradient throughout from the pressure instrument to the process vessel / pipe. This is to prevent formation of air / gas pockets (for liquid applications) and liquid plugs (for air / gas applications). If this continuous downward gradient cannot be provided for any reason, then suitable water and / or air separation devices must be inserted into the pressure lines. Pressure lines must be kept as short as possible and must not have short bends to avoid measurement errors induced by pressure line delays. When used with liquid media the pressure lines must be vented, for different heights in head of liquid in lines cause measuring errors. The instrument and lines must be protected against frost when used with water. Carefully check the tightness of all pressure connections before start-up. 5.1. Pressure Connections The instruments pressure ports are marked by "+" and "-" symbols. For differential pressure applications the "+" port must be connected to the higher pressure and the "-" port should be connected to the lower pressure. 5.2. Zero Point Adjustment The differential pressure gauge is factory adjusted therefore in normal case adjustment during installation is not necessary. 5.2.1. Zero Point Adjustment Screw Position Screw Verschlussschraube plug Dichtscheibe Sealing disc Zero Nullpunkt-Korrekturschraube point adjustment screw 5.2.2. Zero Point Adjustment Screw Position (Filled Models) Filled Models need to be vented before commissioning by opening the air valve on the upper side of instrument! Verschlussschraube Screw plug Sealing Dichtscheibe disc Zero point Nullpunkt- Korrekturschraube adjustment screw 5.3. Setting of Switching Points An adjustment lock is located in the instruments sight glass. The switching contacts located on the setpoint value indicators can be adjusted to any point of scale by the removable adjustment key. For reasons of switching accuracy and products life span switching points should be within range of 10% to 90% of scale. Sollwertzeiger Setpoint value pointer Mitnehmerstift Actuating pin Actuating arm Mitnehmerarm Verstellschloss Adjustment lock Verstellschlüssel Adjustment key Achse Axle Equalize pressure in both chambers. Unmount screw plug. Use zero point adjustment screw to set the pointer to zero. Mount screw plug. 3

Adjustment Sequence: Attach adjustment key on axle of adjustment lock. Press axle inwards until the actuating arm interlocks with the actuating pins. Turn adjustment key until setpoint value pointer reaches the desired switching point. Release axle and remove adjustment key. 5.4. Connection Scheme / Contact Function See connection scheme on instrument and datasheet Limit Transducer KE.... Contact Function: Function 1: Contact closes when the pointer increments clockwise. Function 2: Contact opens when the pointer increments clockwise. Contact Assignment: Contact 1 - setpoint value pointer on the left Contact 2 - setpoint value pointer in the middle Contact 3 - setpoint value pointer on the right 6. Maintenance The instrument is inherently maintenance-free. However, to ensure reliable operation and maximize the operating life of the instrument, it is recommended that the instrument, its external electrical and process connections, and external connected devices be regularly inspected, e.g.: 7. Transport The product must be protected against shock and vibration during transport. It must therefore be properly packed, preferably in the original factory packaging, whenever it is to be transported. 8. Service Any defective devices or devices with missing parts should be retourned to Fischer Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH. For quick service contact our service department. 9. Accessories Remaining medium in and on dismantled measuring instruments may cause danger to persons, environment and equipment. Take reasonable precautions! Clean the instrument thoroughly if necessary. Three-spindle blocking and equalizing valve DZ93... Four-spindle blocking, equalizing and venting valve DZ94... 10. Disposal Protect your environment! Use the product in accordance with relevant regulations. Please be aware of environmental consequences of disposal at the end of the product's life, and take care accordingly. Check the display. Check the switching function in connection with external devices. Check all pressure connections for leak-tightness. Check the integrity of all electrical connections of the instruments. Inspection and test schedules depend on operating and site conditions. The operating manuals of other equipment to which the instrument is connected must be read thoroughly to ensure that all of them work correctly when connected together. 4
