Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Please read all instructional literature carefully and thoroughly before starting. Refer to the final page for the listing of Recommended Practices, Liabilities and Warranties.

GENERAL
BEFORE INSTALLING, CHECK THE SENSOR MODEL SELECTED FOR COMPATIBILITY TO THE PROCESS MEDIA IN CONTACT WITH THE SENSOR AND WETTED PARTS. The H100 and H100K differential pressure switches are activated when a bellows, diaphragm or piston sensor responds to a pressure change. This response, at a pre-determined set point, actuates a single snapacting switch, converting the pressure signal into an electrical signal. Control set point may be varied by turning the internal adjustment hex. (See Adjustment -PART II). PROOF PRESSURE* LIMITS STATED IN THE LITERATURE AND ON NAMEPLATES MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED, EVEN BY SURGES IN THE SYSTEM. OCCASIONAL OPERATION OF UNIT UP TO PROOF PRESSURE IS ACCEPTABLE (E.G., START-UP, TESTING). CONTINUOUS OPERATION SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE DESIGNATED OVER RANGE PRESSURE.
*Proof Pressure The maximum pressure to which a pressure sensor may be occasionally subjected, which causes no permanent damage (e.g., start-up, testing). The unit may require re-gapping.

sure connection. Low pressure and differential pressure units, models 520-535, 540-543, 544-548, are also available with an optional surface mounting bracket. Should the control be installed where condensation is expected, vertical mounting is recommended as a means of keeping water away from switch terminals. Never use the enclosure for leverage to hand tighten the pressure connection. Always use a wrench to tighten the pressure connection to the pipe.To prevent damaging the pressure sensor, use a back-up wrench to hold the hex nut in place when surface mounting. On models supplied with an external manual reset button, be sure to leave sufficient finger space over the reset button for the operator to reset the control. See Mounting Diagram.

WIRING
DISCONNECT ALL SUPPLY CIRCUITS BEFORE WIRING. ELECTRICAL RATINGS STATED IN LITERATURE AND ON NAMEPLATES SHOULD NEVER BE EXCEEDED. OVERLOAD ON A SWITCH CAN CAUSE FAILURE ON THE FIRST CYCLE. WIRE UNITS ACCORDING TO NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZE IS 14 AWG. Remove the two screws retaining the cover and cover gasket. Two cast-in knockouts for 1/2 conduit are located on the side and back of enclosure. These can easily be knocked out by placing the blade of a screwdriver in the groove and tapping sharply with a hammer. A 1/2 NPT conduit connection is also provided on the left hand side of the enclosure. The three switch terminals are clearly labeled common, normally open and normally closed. For switches supplied with leadwires, the following color coding applies: Manual Reset SPDT Common Violet Normally Open Blue Normally Closed Black DPDT (Option 1010) SWT1 Violet Blue Black SWT2 Yellow Orange Red

Part I - Installation
Tools Needed Adjustable Wrench Screwdriver Hammer (for alternate wire knockouts)

MOUNTING
INSTALL UNIT WHERE SHOCK, VIBRATION AND TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS ARE MINIMAL. ORIENT UNIT SO THAT MOISTURE IS PREVENTED FROM ENTERING THE ENCLOSURE. IF UNIT IS BEING INSTALLED WHERE HEAVY CONDENSATION IS EXPECTED, VERTICAL MOUNTING (PRESSURE CONNECTION DOWN) IS REQUIRED. DO NOT MOUNT IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING PUBLISHED LIMITS. Controls may be mounted and operated in any position. They may be surface mounted via the two mounting ears on either side of the enclosure, or directly to a rigid pipe by using the pres-

A grounding screw and clamp (cast in symbol) is provided which meets a 35 lb. pull test. Keep the wire as short as possible to prevent interface with the plunger and the adjustable differential switch wheel, if applicable.

Part II - Adjustments
Tools Needed 5/8 Open End Wrench SOME MODELS HAVE A TWO-PIECE, ADJUSTABLE PLUNGER. THIS FEATURE IS CHARACTERIZED BY A 3/16 HEX HEAD SCREW INSTALLED IN THE 1/4 HEX PLUNGER. THE LENGTH OF THIS ASSEMBLY IS ADJUSTED AT OUR FACTORY AND IS CRITICAL TO THE FUNCTION OF THE CONTROL.

H100 and H100K


Remove pressure switch cover. Loosen Phillips screw adjustment lock. Adjust set point by turning 5/8 hex adjustment screw clockwise (in) to raise set point, or counter clockwise (out) to lower set point. Tension on adjustment screw can be increased by tightening adjustment lock onto it. (See diagram 1). Controls include uncalibrated reference scales for high, low or mid range settings.

Adjustable Differential Models


Model 15623 and control types with option code 1519 incorporate a snap switch with internal adjustment wheel. Turning this wheel raises or lowers the pressure rise set point. The fall set point remains constant. Consult factory for additional information.

Manual Reset Button


Control types with option code 1530 incorporate a snap switch which when actuated, remains actuated until the pressure drops sufficiently to allow the reset button (located on top of the control) to be manually depressed to reset the switch. Gapping 1) Loosen adjustment lock. 2) Turn 5/8 hex adjustment screw in, to approximately mid range. This puts a load on the sensor and exposes the plunger flats. Using a 1/4 wrench on the plunger and a 3/16 wrench on the plunger hex screw, turn hex screw out from plunger until switch actuates. If switch is already actuated, turn plunger hex screw in, until switch deactuates. Turn hex screw in from this point. (See chart 1 for Flats and approximate Gap.) 3) Check set point according to Part II Adjustments. 4) Connect wires and replace cover securely.

RECOMMENDED PRACTICES AND WARNINGS


United Electric Controls Company recommends careful consideration of the following factors when specifying and installing UE pressure and temperature units. Before installing a unit, the Installation and Maintenance instructions provided with unit must be read and understood. To avoid damaging unit, proof pressure and maximum temperature limits stated in literature and on nameplates must never be exceeded, even by surges in the system. Operation of the unit up to maximum temperature is acceptable on a limited basis (i.e., start-up, testing) but continuous operation must be restricted to the designated adjustable range. Excessive cycling at maximum temperature limits could reduce sensor life. A back-up unit is necessary for applications where damage to a primary unit could endanger life, limb or property. A high or low limit switch is necessary for applications where a dangerous runaway condition could result. The adjustable range must be selected so that incorrect, inadvertent or malicious setting at any range point cannot result in an unsafe system condition. Install unit where shock, vibration and ambient temperature fluctuations will not damage unit or affect operation. Orient unit so that moisture does not enter the enclosure via the electrical connection. When appropriate, this entry point should be sealed to prevent moisture entry. Unit must not be altered or modified after shipment. Consult UE if modification is necessary. Monitor operation to observe warning signs of possible damage to unit, such as drift in set point or faulty display. Check unit immediately. Preventative maintenance and periodic testing is necessary for critical applications where damage could endanger property or personnel. For all applications, a factory set unit should be tested before use. Electrical ratings stated in literature and on nameplate must not be exceeded. Overload on a switch can cause damage, even on the first cycle. Wire unit according to local and national electrical codes, using wire size recommended in installation sheet. Do not mount unit in ambient temp. exceeding published limits.
