DFC 17B, 27B: Heavy - duty pressure switch

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational details for the SAUTER DFC 17B and 27B heavy-duty pressure switches, designed for regulating and monitoring pressures in liquids, gases, and vapors, particularly in environments subject to vibrations.
Key Features:
  • Pressure range: -1 to +50 bar.
  • Contact rating: 1 mA, 6 V to 10 A, 400 V.
  • Media temperature up to 110 °C.
  • Gold-plated silver contacts with a vibration-proof snap-action switch.
  • Independent setting of upper and lower switching points.
  • Compliance with PED 97/23/EC, Cat. IV.
Technical Description:
  • Light-alloy housing with a transparent cover, splash-proof, and IP 44 rated.
  • Brass or stainless-steel sensors for aggressive media, with G ½" male thread.
  • Ambient temperature range: -40 to +70 °C.
Operation: The pressure switch operates by switching contacts when pressure exceeds or falls below set points, using a pre-loaded spring mechanism to ensure reliability even with slow operations.
Engineering and Fitting Notes: The pressure limiters comply with European regulations for pressure equipment and are suitable for use with liquid combustibles and heat transfer oils. They also meet Low-Voltage and EMC Directives.
Types and Approvals: Various models are available with TÜV approval for use as pressure controllers in steam generators and hot-water boilers.
Error Detection and Maintenance: Regular operational checks are recommended, and additional protective systems should be implemented if device failure could cause damage.
Accessories: A range of accessories is available, including plug spanners, cap nuts, adaptors, and damping screws, to enhance functionality and installation flexibility.
Additional Technical Data: The document includes compliance information with various directives and standards, as well as technical notes on RC circuits under inductive loads.
