The media temperature can be out of ambient temperature range under necessary condition that temperature inside KP must be kept in
ambient temperature range.
Cable connection
The cable entry can be used for 6 – 14 mm dia. cables. A Pg 13.5 screwed cable entry can also be used for 6 – 14 mm
cable.With 8 – 16 mm cable a standard Pg 16 screwed cable entry can be used.
Enclosure
IP30 to EN 60529 / IEC 60529
Enclosure IP30 is obtained when the units without top cover are mounted on a flat surface or bracket. The bracket
must be fixed to the unit so that all unused holes are covered.
KP pressure switches with auto reset are supplied with top cover. For KP pressure switches with manual reset, the
top cover must be separately ordered (code no. 060-109766 for single pressure switches and code no.
060-109866 for dual pressure switches).

Terminology
Reset
1. Manual (Min. / Max.) reset:
Units with manual reset can only be reset during operation by activation of the reset button.
2. Automatic reset:
After operational stop, these units reset automatically.
3. Convertible reset:
Units with optional reset can be activated by automatic and/or manual reset
Test pressure
The test pressure is the pressure used in strength tests and/or leakage tests on refrigerating systems or individual
parts in systems. The test pressure is designated Pe.
“Snap function”
A certain contact force is maintained until irrevocable “snap” is initiated. The time during which the contact force
approaches zero is thus limited to a very few milliseconds. Therefore contact bounce cannot occur as a result of, for
example, slight vibrations, before the cut-out point. Contact systems with “Snap function” will change over even
when micro-welds are created between the contacts during cut-in. A very high force is created during cut-out to
separate the contacts. This force immediately shears off all the welds. Thus the cut-out point of the unit remains very
accurate and completely independent of the magnitude of the current load.
Setting
Pressure switches with automatic reset – LP: Set the LP start pressure on the "CUT-IN" scale (range scale). One
rotation of the low pressure spindle ∼ 0.7 bar.Set the LP differential on the "DIFF" scale. One rotation of the
differential spindle ∼ 0.15 bar.The LP stop pressure is the LP start pressure minus the differential.
NOTE:
The LP stop pressure must be above absolute vacuum (Pe = -1 bar)!
If with low stop pressure the refrigeration compressor will not stop, check to ensure that the differential value has
not been set too high!
Pressure switches with automatic reset – HP: Set the HP pressure on the “CUT-OUT” scale. One rotation of the HP
spindle ∼ 2.3 bar. Set the HP differential on the “DIFF” scale. One rotation of the differential spindle ∼ 0.3 bar. The
HP start pressure is the HP stop pressure minus the differential.
Start and stop pressures for both the LP and HP sides of the system should always be checked with an accurate
pressure gauge.
Pressure switches with manual reset Set the stop pressure on “CUT-OUT” scale (range scale).
Low pressure switches can be manually reset when the pressure is equal to the stop pressure plus the differential.
High pressure switches can be manually reset when the pressure is equal to the stop pressure minus the differential.
Design
Table 5: Design
Pressure switch, type KP KP 1, KP 2, KP 5
The switch in the KP has a snap-action function where the bellows move only when the cut-in or cut-out value is
reached.
The bellows are connected to the low or high pressure side of the system through connection (10) or (11).

Types KP1, KP1A, KP2, KP4, KP6, KP6A, KP7, KP17 and KP47 units with designation W, B or S have been tested and
approved by TÜV, Rheinland in accordance with EN 12263.
Types KP6, KP6A, KP7, KP17 and KP47 have a double bellows: an outer bellows and a regulating bellows. When
system pressure exceeds the set value, the KP will automatically stop the plant. The double bellows system prevents
loss of charge in the event of bellows rupture.
A rupture in the inner bellows will cause the control cut-out pressure to fall about 3 times less the set value, thus the
refrigeration plant compressor will stop.
A rupture in the outer bellows will cause the control cut-out pressure to fall to about 3 bar under the set value, thus
providing a fail-safe function.
Versions with designation W or AW cut in again automatically when the pressure has fallen to the set value minus
the differential.
Versions with designation B or AB can be cut in manually with the external reset button when the pressure in KP1
has increased 0.7 bar above set value and in KP6 and KP7 has fallen 4 bar under the set value.
Versions with designation S or AS can be cut in manually with the internal reset arm when the pressure has fallen 4
bar under the set value.
All KP pressure switches, including those which are PED-approved, operate independently of changes in the
ambient temperature around the control housing. Therefore the set cut-out pressure and differential are held
constant provided the permissible ambient temperatures are not exceeded.

charge limits and requirements for avoiding ignition sources of IEC 60335-2-24, IEC 60335-2-40, IEC 60335-2-89,
ISO 5149, EN378-1 or equivalent
2. Applying the overload on the KPs must be prevented. If by any chance it was damaged, the system / unit shall be
stopped and KP shall be replaced as necessary
3. Electrostatic discharge protection and Electrical leakage protection shall be surely implemented by grounding or
other measures
4. Only trained personnel are authorized to handle flammable refrigerants systems and may do the installation,
maintenance and exchange of the switch by using appropriate tools
5. It is recommended to regularly check the function of KP switch
6. The KP pressure switches shall be used as built-in devices that cannot be accessible from outside and protected
against mechanical impact
7. The KPs shall be installed in water free environment. In addition, protection of the KP switches against corrosion
shall be taken into consideration when using them in corrosive environment
8. Cables shall not be in contact with sharp edges. The cables shall be connected with adequate stress relieve in
order to prevent that pulling forces can be carried thorough the cable to the terminal
9. In the event of pressure pulsation in the system, where switch is connected, these must be effectively dumped to
prevent failure of the bellows. The cycle frequency of KP switch shall be kept as low as possible
10. The KP switches shall not be installed in places where high level of vibration is present
