7.3.6  Gas pressure switch-min (Pmin), start release gas X5–01 
 
Input for connection of a pressure switch-min for gas: If the plant does not require a 
pressure switch-min, a wire link must be fitted between pin 2 and 3. 
 
Gas pressure switch-min 
 
In all types of gas trains, minimum gas pressure is expected from phase 22. If no gas 
pressure is detected when the maximum time (parameter 214) has elapsed, the gas 
shortage program is started (refer to chapter Gas shortage program).

Caution! 
The OEM must check to see whether the burner can be operated without 
pressure switch-min. This may necessitate a special approval, depending on 
the  
type of application.

0 = inactive 
1 = active 
 
During the safety times (TSA1/TSA2), the signal received from pressure switch-min is 
only assessed after a certain period of time in order to ignore the pressure shocks that 
occur the moment the valves open. The time to elapse for signal assessment can be 
parameterized. 
 
No. Parameter 
229  Gas: Time to respond to pressure faults within safety time 1 (TSA1) and safety 
time 2 (TSA2) 
329  Fuel 1 gas: Time to respond to pressure faults within safety time 1 (TSA1) and 
safety time 2 (TSA2) 
 
If there is no gas pressure, at least safety shutdown is initiated.
