The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here, and may only be used
accordingly.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary to the intended use.
Intended use
The model A-1200 pressure sensor is used for the switching of circuits as a function of the measured pressure
via a PNP or NPN output signal. In addition, the pressure value can be output to appropriate read-out units as a
standardised digital signal (IO-Link 1.1). The switching conditions can optionally be programmed using IO-Link 1.1
(switch and reset points, switching functions, time response, ...) or configured using the teach function (switch point 1,
switching function).
The model A-1200 has been developed for the pressure measurement of non-hazardous fluids, liquids and gases
(classification in accordance with Directive 2014/68/EU Article 13, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, or GHS
are mainly used for cooling, lubrication, cleaning or power transmission in industrial machines.
