Pressure switch Type BCP

Product catalog summary
Overview: The BCP series is a range of dedicated pressure switches designed for safety and pressure monitoring in steam and hot water boilers. These switches feature a single-pole changeover microswitch, with contact positions dependent on the pressure and set range value. For critical safety operations, fail-safe control is recommended.
Features:
  • Available as high and low-pressure limiters and pressure controllers.
  • Wide pressure range from low pressure BCP1 to high pressure BCP7.
  • Fail-safe dual bellows for premature cut-out in case of faults.
  • DIN plug for easy electrical wiring.
  • CE-marked and compliant with various standards including EN 60947-4/-5 and IEC 61508:2010 SIL 2.
Technical Specifications:
  • Materials: Stainless steel bellows and nickel-plated or stainless steel pressure connections.
  • Media: Suitable for steam, water, and air.
  • Temperature: Ambient -20 to 70°C, Media up to 120°C (water-filled loop required above 120°C).
  • Enclosure: IP65 rated.
  • Electrical Connection: Plug DIN 43650, Pg 11.
  • Switch Type: SPDT, snap action microswitch with silver/gold plated contacts.
Pressure Limiters and Controllers:
  • Low and high-pressure limiters with manual reset options.
  • Pressure controllers with automatic reset options.
  • Various models available with different pressure ranges and differentials.
Design and Function:
  • Automatic and manual reset options available.
  • Fail-safe bellows concept for enhanced safety.
  • Microswitch design suitable for modern electronic systems.
Installation and Accessories:
  • Recommended water-filled loop for media temperatures above 120°C.
  • Mounting brackets available for wall or rail installation.
Important Notes:
  • Pressure settings should be verified with accurate gauges.
  • Manual reset required for pressure limiters when pressure conditions are met.
  • Fail-safe control ensures safety in case of faults.

Pressure switch Type BCP-1

ENGINEERING TOMORROW Data sheet Pressure switch Type BCP The BCP type is a series of dedicated pressure switches for safety and pressure monitoring of steam and hot water boilers. The BCP incorporates a single-pole changeover microswitch where the contact position depends on the pressure in the connection port and the range set value. For installations, in which operation is particularly critical for safety reason, the use of fail-safe control is recommended. Available as high and low pressure limiters as well as pressure controllers Wide pressure range: from low pressure BCP1 with narrow differential to high pressure BCP7 The fail-safe dual bellows enable premature cut-out when fault occurs DIN plug mounted on the top of control for easy electrical wiring Single-pole changeover switch (SPDT), switch + alarm • Direct mounting on pressure connection or wall mounting by means of a bracket • Versions with automatic and manual resets available • Screw adjustments made on top of housing • Manual reset for pressure limiters possible only by means of tools • Safety Integrity Level: SIL 2 according to IEC 61508:2010 CE-marked in accordance with EN 60947-4/-5 VdTOV-Merkblatt „Druck 100" T0V. SDWFS/SDBFS . 15 - 335 CE marked in accordance with 2014/68/EU, category IV, safety equipment, testing basis pr EN12952-11 and EN12953-9.

Note: Cut-in and cut-out pressures of the system should always be checked with accurate pressure gauges. Pressure settings for switches (with automatic reset) Set the cut-out pressure on RANGE scale and differential on DIFF. scale. Restart pressure is equal to cut-out pressure minus pre-set differential value. Pressure switches with manual reset High pressure limiters Set cut-out pressure on the RANGE scale. Pressure limiter can only be manually reset by pressing reset button by means of tools when the pressure is equal to or below the cut-out pressure minus value of the differential. Low pressure...
