Magnetic snap-action contacts (option)
Electrical switch contacts for level indicators and/or working pressure open circuits as a
function of the pointer position of the indicating measuring instruments.
Version
Single and double magnetic snap-action contact, model 828
The modular switch contact is an add-on unit, which can be built onto the pressure gauge
within a few minutes. The switch contacts provide IP65 ingress protection. The connection to
the actual value pointer is made by means of a special yoke so that a carrier pin at the pointer
itself is not needed. Due to this simple mounting, the instrument can be converted into a
contact pressure gauge extremely quickly and at low cost.
The switch contacts mainly comprise:
the already wired switch contact equipped with a special foot and a fork coupling
■
a transparent hood (polycarbonate) with dovetail guide into which the switch contact
■
containing the special foot is slid and fastened by means of a cross-head screw
a connector lower part (4-pin) moulded or welded to the transparent hood
■
an adjustment lock mounted in the centre of the transparent hood
■
The set value pointer of the
installed switch contacts are
adjusted, from the outside, to
the value at which the switch-
ing operation is to take place,
using the adjustment lock with
a separate or integral key.
The switch contacts are
designed to allow the instru-
ment pointer to move beyond
the adjusted actual value
pointer after contact actuation
takes place, with the contact
remaining actuated.
This design guarantees a
stable switching status corre-
sponding to the position of the
actual value pointer in case of
power failure.
