3 Method of operation and use
The pressure p" of the tubing system is effective in the pressurized chamber of
pressure switch type SDE5−... . The pressure switch closes (switch element func
tion NO: normally−open) or opens (switch element function NC: normally−closed) a
current circuit when the switching pressure is reached. The switch element func
tion is preset at
the factory and can only be modified on the SDE5−...−FP−... . The
SDE5−... is available with different switching functions (modes 0...3).
The SDE5−... has been designed for monitoring changes in pressure in the com
pressed air system. The SDE5−... converts pneumatic pressure values and supplies
electric signals which can be used
for control or regulating functions.
