Switch function
Hysteresis function
Ifthesystempressureuctuatesaroundthenominalvalue,the
hysteresis keeps the switch status of the outputs stable. When the
system pressure is rising, the output switches when it reaches the
respectivesetpoint(SP);ifthepressurefallsagain,theoutputswit-
ches back only if the reset point (RP) is reached.

Delay times (0.00 to 50 s):
By this means unwanted pressure peaks of short duration or high
frequencycanbelteredout.
The pressure must remain for at least this time to enable the switch
to operate. The switching output does not immediately change its
