Pressure ReferenceType LUSER MANUAL ArrayREF TYPE L has two operating keys.The left key (SELECT) serves to select the functions andthe pressure units.The right key (ENTER) activates the selected function orpressure unit. The right key is also used toswitch between the Max.- and Min.-value.Turn-on:Pressing the SELECT key turns the instrument on. The instrument first displays the software version (year/week) and the fullscale pressure range. The instrument is then ready for use and indicates the actual pressure (top display) and the last measured Max.-value (bottom display).The instrument has the following functions:RESET: Max.-/Min.-value are set to the actual pressureOFF: Turns off the instrumentMANO: Releases the following functions:ZERO SEt: Sets a new Zero referenceZERO rES: Sets the Zero to factory settingCONT on: Deactivates the automatic turn-off functionCONT off: Activates the automatic turn-off function (the instrumentturns off 15 minutes after the last key function)followed by the unit selection: bar, mbar, hPa, kPa, MPa, PSI,kp/cm2, cmH2O, mH2O, inH2O, ftH2O, mmHg, inHgExample: Setting a new pressure unit (mbar):--> Turn on the instrument by shortly pressing the SELECT-key.--> Wait for the instrument’s measuring mode (approx. 3 seconds).--> Press the SELECT-key 3 times: MANO appears.--> Press ENTER: ZERO SEt appears.--> Press SELECT: ZERO rES appears.--> Press SELECT: CONT on or CONT off appears.--> Press SELECT: bar appears.--> Press SELECT: mbar appears.--> Press ENTER: The new pressure unit (mbar) is set.The instrument returns to the measuring mode.Display of the minimum pressure value:When in the measuring mode (Display: Actual Pressure and Max.- value), you may display the Min.-value for 5 seconds by shortly pressing the ENTER-key.Notes:• The functions and units can also be called up by keeping the SELECT-key depressed. Releasing the key enables the displayed function or unit to be activated with the ENTER-key.• If the selected function or unit is not activated within 5 seconds with the ENTER-key,REF TYPE L returns to the measuring mode without changing any settings.• Turning REF TYPE L on and off does not influence any of the previous settings.• If the CONT on function is activated, it is indicated with a flashing sign (cont) on the display.• If a pressure can not be represented on the display, OFL (overflow) or UFL (underflow) appears on the display.• If the actual pressure goes beyond the measuring range, the last valid pressure value starts flashing on the display.Installation:Screw the G1/4 male port of REF TYPE L into the female pressure port and tighten using the lower hexagon of the transducer. Loosen the upper hexagon and rotate the REF TYPE L to the desired position.Restraighten:The face of REF TYPE L can be rotated through 355°. This feature allows the REF TYPE L to be mounted in all possible positions; vertical, horizontal or upside down.Battery Change / Battery Life:When the battery starts weakening, a low battery warning will appear (BAT LOW). Battery change (turn off the instrument before changing the battery!):Open the battery compartment and change the battery (type CR 2430). Make sure that the O-ring remains embedded in the cover. The battery life is 2000 hours in normal measuring mode. Ranges / Calibration:The factory setting of the Zero for the ranges ≤61 bar is at 0 bar absolute. For sealed gauge pressure measurements, activate “ZERO SEt” at ambient pressure.Instruments with ranges >61 bar are calibrated in a sealed gauge mode at ambient pressure.Interface (RS485):The interface converter K103A (RS232) or K104A (USB) can be connected at the back of the manometer, allowing the data transfer to the PC.。

ZSE30/ISE30系列压力开关设定说明一、在测试模式下(即显示实际压力值的状态下)按住SET键2秒以上,进入初始设定。
完成初始设定需以下几个步骤:1、进入初始设定首先显示“显示颜色设定”的选定值,可通过△、▽键更改设定。
待选项有以下四种:、①Sor:ON时红(选择此项)②SoG:ON时绿③rEd:一直红④Grn:一直绿2、选好后按SET键保存并进入“动作模式设定”,共有两种动作模式:①HYS:迟滞模式(选择此项)②Ynd:上下限比较模式通过△、▽键可以任意选定3、选好后再次按SET键将进入“输出形态设定”,两种输出形态供选:①no:常开(选择此项)②nC:常闭两种输出形态通过△、▽键来选择4、选好后按SET键将进入“响应时间设定”,有四种响应时间,利用△、▽键可选:①2.5:2.5ms(选择此项)②20:20ms③160:160ms④640:640ms⑤1280:1280ms5、选好后按SET键将进入“自动预制设定”:①nAn:手动设置(选择此项)②AUt:自动设置通过△、▽键选定6、此时按再SET键将返回测试模式至此,初始设定完毕。
二、在测试模式下按一下SET键将进入手动数值设定界面。
此时[P_1]与设定值交替闪动。
如果想改变[P_1]的设定值可按△或▽键,此时数值末位闪动,按△或▽键可在0~9之间改变数值;按SET键上一位数值闪动,同样按△或▽键可在0~9之间改变此位数值,当更改好后,请不要按任何键等待十秒此数值将被设定成功。
此时[P_1]与设定值再次交替闪动。
如不想修改[P_1]的设定值或已修改好后按SET键进入固定迟滞的设定,此时[H]与固定迟滞的设定值交替闪动。
数值更改方法与上面介绍的修改[P_1]的设定值的方法相同,设定好后[H]与固定迟滞值交替闪动。
对[H]值未进行设定或设定好后再次按SET键则返回测试模式。
至此,手动数值设定完毕。
三、[P_1]与[H]的设定值在“HYS”迟滞模式中对压力开关信号输出的影响:若“输出形态设定”为“no”常开,当实际压力> [P_1]设定值时,压力开关输出on 信号;当on信号输出后,测试到的压力值若>{[P_1]- [H]},on信号被保持;随着压力的下降,当实际压力<{[P_1]- [H]}时压力开关输出信号变为off。

Theactuator is normally exposed to the process media and must be chemically compatible with it. There are three types of actuators available for the A-Series switches – all welded 316 SS dia-phragm sealed piston; 316 SS piston with Viton O-ring seal; and 316 SS piston with Buna-N O-ring seal. The 316 SS diaphragm is available in ranges from –15/15 psi to 200 psi. The 316 SSpiston is available in ranges from 100 psi to 15,000 psi. Switches offered in 100 psi and 200 psi can be ordered with either thepiston or diaphragm design. The piston design will have a longer mechanical life, while the diaphragm design has a better operat-ing temperature.The piston design is more reliable than a diaphragm designwhen subjected to frequent large pressure excursions, pressure surges and spikes associated with typical hydraulic applications. Piston designs are typically used when the switch is used as low pressure alarm or cutoff where the normal working pressure isabove the nominal range of the switch.The Switching Function:Most applications for alarm, shutdown and interlock are satis-fied by the standardA-Series switches which feature single setpoint fixed deadband. For pump, compressor and other control applications, the dead-band becomes a very important c onsideration and may require increasing the range of the switch to increase the deadband.Please consult your Ashcroft representative for assistance withspecial applications.The Micro Switch Element:The micro switch element must be chosen to meet the electrical load requirement to be switched. The switches are offered as either SPDT (single pole double throw) or DPDT (double pole double throw). The DPDT switch is made up of two SPDT switches which are adjusted to work together by Ashcroft’s patent pendingCircuit Board Rotation Design. DPDT switching is not available on diaphragm designs below 100 psi, withSpade terminals or the Micro DIN connector.Understanding Setpoints and Reset Points:Pressure switches can be set to switch on either increasing (rising) or decreasing pressures. Since theswitches have both Normally Open (NO) contacts and Normally Closed (NC) contacts you can wire the switch to open or close for either an increasing or decreas-ing pressure. To be consistent in setting the switch-es Ashcroft defines the setpoints as follows. For anincreasing setpoint, the pressure is increased from 0 psito the set point and then decreased to the reset point. For a decreasing setpoint, the pressure is increased to full range and then decreased to the setpoint and then increased to the resetpoint.Custom Applications: The A-series switch is designed to allow custom process connections and electrical terminations. Please consult your Ashcroftrepresentative for assistance with custom applications.Cutaway view of switch assembly with SS pistonSELECTION GUIDEPressure SwitchesAccuracy – (See repeatability) Accuracy normally refers to con-formity of an indicated value to an accepted standard value. There is no indication in switch products; thus, instead, the term repeatability is used as the key performance measure. Ashcroft A-Series switch accuracy is 2% of nominal range.Automatic Reset Switch – Switch which returns to normal state when actuating variable Pressure is reduced.Adjustable or Operating Range – That part of the nominal range over which the switch setpoint may be adjusted. Normally about 10% to 100% of the nominal range for A-Series pressure switches.Burst Pressure – The maximum pressure that may be applied to a pressure switch without causing leakage or rupture. This is approximately 16X of nominal range for A-Series switches. Diaphragm switches subjected to pressures above the nominal range can be permanently damaged.Deadband – The difference between the setpoint and the reset-point, normally expressed in units of the actuating variable. Sometimes referred to as differential.Fixed Deadband – The difference between the setpoint and the resetpoint of a pressure switch. It further signifies that this deadband is a fixed function of the pressure switch and not adjustable.National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) – This group has defined several categories of enclosures, usually referred to as “types.” Further, they designate certain features and capabilities each type must include.NEMA 6 – Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts; to provide a degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects (falling dirt); to provide a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the equipment due to the ingress of water (hose directed water and the entry of waterduring occasional temporary submersion at a limited depth); and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.Normal Switch Position – Contact position before actuating pressure (or variable) is applied. Normally closed contacts open when the switch is actuated. Normally open contacts close when the switch is actuated.Normally Closed – Refers to switch contacts that are closed in the normal switch state or position (unactuated). A pressure change opens the contacts.Normally Open Switch – Refers to the contacts that are open in the normal switch state or position (unactuated). A pressure change closes the contacts.Overpressure Rating(s) – A nonspecific term that could refer to either burst or proof pressure, or both.Proof Pressure – The maximum pressure which may be appliedwithout causing damage. This is determined under strict labora-tory conditions including controlled rate of change and tempera-ture: This value is for reference only. Consult factory for appli-cations where switch must operate at pressures above nominal range or reference temperature (70°F).Repeatability (Accuracy) – The closeness of agreement among a number of consecutive measurements of the output setpoint for the same value of the input under the same operating con-ditions, approaching from the same direction, for full-range tra-verses. Ashcroft A-series switch repeatability is 2% of nominal range.Note: It is usually measured as non-repeatability and expressed as repeatability in percent of span or nominal range. It does not include hysteresis or deadband.Resetpoint – The resetpoint is the Pressure value where the electrical switch contacts will return to their original or normal position after the switch has activated.Setpoint – The setpoint is the Pressure value at which the elec-trical circuit of a switch will change state or actuate. It should be specified either on increase or decrease of that variable. Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) Switching Element – A SPDT switching element has one normally open, one normally closed, and one common terminal. The switch can be wired with the circuit either normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C). SPDT is standard with A-series switches.Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) Switching Element – Two SPDT switching elements both set to actuate or de-actuate at the same set or resetpoint. Each switch one has one normally open, one normally closed, and one common terminal. Theswitches are independent of each other and can be wired to two independent circuits. The two circuits can either normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C).Snap Action – In switch terminology, snap action generally refers to the action of contacts in the switch element. These contacts open and close quickly and snap closed with sufficient pressure to firmly establish an electrical circuit. The term distin-guishes products from mercury bottle types that were subject to vibration problems.ADDITIONAL SWITCH TERMINOLOGYPressure SwitchesWorld HeadquartersAshcroft Inc.250 E.
