classed merely as silver contacts and lose the properties of gold-plated contacts
2) Depending on the fitting position, see the fitting instructions. The devices are not suitable for outdoor applica-
tions.
3) DWFS (SDBFS): As a safety pressure limiter when an external electrical locking facility is fitted downstream in

Description of operation
For regulating and monitoring pressure in liquids, gases and vapours, according to VdTÜV pressure
information sheet 100. Especially suitable for applications in compact installations, for pipe mounting
or wall mounting.
When the pressure falls below the lower change-over point (adjustable setpoint XS), the contacts
switch from 1-3 to 1-2.
When the pressure exceeds the lower change-over point by the amount of the switching difference
XSd, the contacts switch from 1-2 to 1-3.
The switching difference can be set from outside using a grub screw: One revolution changes the
switching difference by approx. 20% of the total switching difference range.

Intended use
This product is only suitable for the purpose intended by the manufacturer, as described in the
“Description of operation” section.
All related product regulations must also be adhered to. Changing or converting the product is not
admissible.

) Using the device in SIL applications and as a safety device in machine construction changes its electrical
serviceable life.
Typical situation: 10 A, 6,000 switchings

RC circuitry for inductive load

For the optimum RC circuitry, see the information from manufacturers of gates, relays, etc. If this is
not available, the inductive load can be reduced by applying the following rule of thumb:
• Capacity of the RC circuitry (µF) equal to or greater than the operating current (A)
• Resistance of the RC circuitry (Ω) approx. the same as the resistance of the coil (Ω)
B03772

Effect on the switching difference

The switching difference depends slightly on the setpoint. The switching differences specified in the
PDS sheet are typical values for the start of the range. The effect of the setpoint on the switching
difference increases the switching difference by: ∆Xsd = (setpoint XS – start of the range) × 0.04.

Materials
The following materials come into contact with the medium:
• DSB: brass, stainless steel, nitrile rubber
• DSF: stainless steel, material no. 1.4104 and 1.4541

Admissible fluids for pressure switches with a safety function

• Fluid group I, danger potential categories IV or V as per article 13 of Pressure Equipment Directive
2014/68/EU.
• Fluid group II

Note

) Additionally, the extents of applicability of the TÜV certifications and the standards they contain must be
considered. The user must check the compatibility of the fluids used with the materials of the pressure
sensor.

Engineering and fitting notes

The devices are safety pressure limiters (SDBFS) and thus conform to the European Pressure
Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. As safety components, they belong to device category IV. The
devices also conform to Low-Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. SDBFS
devices are suitable for use in installations based on TRD 604, sheet 1 and sheet 2.
The devices can be used as SDBFS for falling or increasing pressure when an electrical interlock
circuit is used (see application examples) and the requirements of DIN 57116 and VDE 0116 are
fulfilled. The electrical plant devices must adhere to VDE 0660 or VDE 0435.

4) cos φ < 0.3: significant reduction in serviceable life. With RC circuitry, serviceable life as with cos φ > 0.3 (also
see section “RC circuitry for inductive load”)

Use in safety applications

The devices fulfil the requirements of standard IEC 61508 and can be used in safety applications up
to SIL 2.
The information in the related operating instructions and in the safety manual must be considered.

Architectural and structural requirements must be tested by the end user.

Duration of use and repeat checks

Approving a duration of use of over five years (plus 1.5 years in storage) is solely the responsibility of
the operating company when considering the specific usage conditions and the prescribed test
cycles.
The operating mode as per IEC 61508-4, article 3.5.12, has been defined as “operating mode with
low demand rate”.
To check that the pressure switches are functioning correctly, repeat checks must be performed in the
installations. These should be carried out a maximum of twelve times per year, but at least once per
year.

Applications as a safety device in machine construction

Based on standard ISO 13849-1 and for use in systems with a high demand rate, the following
parameters were determined.
• Maximum admissible demand rate: 50 per year
• B10d = 6000
• PFH = 9.51 × 10−08
A single pressure monitor or limiter can be used within the operating range of standards
EN ISO 13849-1 to PL c. To safeguard against higher risks (PL d, PL e), they must be used
redundantly, and in the downstream safety module, the plausibility of the switching states must be
monitored continuously. Architectural and structural requirements must be tested by the end user.
