Pressure switch MDR 1

Short Description

High-performance pressure switch for switching motors (Compressor version), available in various versions and with optional accessories. The tried and tested MDR series represent reliability and competence. The high quality of pressure controls is continuously confirmed in extensive tests, for example lifetime and vibration tests.

Description

To determine the pump or compressor run-time, the MDR 1 can be fitted/retro-fitted with an (optional) operating hours counter. The operating hours counter is available as a kit, and can be mounted to the cover in 4 different positions at 90° intervals. This ensures optimum readability. The kit consists of an operating hours counter for 230 V, and a perforated MDR 1 cover with/without On/Off switch. The MDR-1 is fitted as standard with the possibility for pressure difference adjustment. Two adjusting screws permit switching point and hysteresis to be adjusted, whereby the cut-out point is first adjusted via the main pressure spring and then the cut-in point via the pressure difference setting. By selecting a pair of values for cut-in and cut-out pressures, an intersection point is determined in the diagram. If the point lies within the shaded area, this pair of values can be adjusted on the pressure switch. If the point lies outside the shaded area, this pair of values cannot be adjusted on the pressure switch. Example: MDR 1/11 with pressure difference adjustment. With a selected cut-in pressure of 4 bar, the cut-out pressure can be specified and adjusted between 5, 4 and 8 bar using the pressure difference adjustment.

Pressure switch MDR 11

Short Description

The high-performance pressure switch for the North American market, in the special version “Pressure coupling, water” for switching motors (pumps), available in various versions and with optional accessories. The high-performance pressure switch MDR 11 has been certified acc. to UL and CSA standards. The lateral cable entry provides a larger connecting compartment.

Description

The MDR-11 is fitted as standard with the possibility for pressure difference adjustment. Two adjusting screws permit switching point and hysteresis to be adjusted, whereby the cut-out point is first adjusted via the main pressure spring and then the cut-in point via the pressure difference setting. By selecting a pair of values for cut-in and cut-out pressures, an intersection point is determined in the diagram. If the point lies within the shaded area, this pair of values can be adjusted on the pressure switch. If the point lies outside the shaded area, this pair of values cannot be adjusted on the pressure switch. Two adjusting screws permit switching point and hysteresis to be adjusted, whereby the cut-in point is first adjusted via the main pressure spring and then the cut-out point via the pressure difference setting.

Pressure switch MDR 3

Short Description

The high-performance pressure switch for switching motors (compressors and pumps), available in various versions and with optional accessories. Optionally, the pressure switch is available with an overload relay. The pressure switch MDR 3 has been certified by the KEMA KEUR Test and Certification Institute, and also acc. to UL and CSA standards, for use e.g. in the North American market.

Description

Its robust and hard-wearing design ensures a long service life, also under high loads. The MDR-3 pressure switch is fitted as standard with the possibility for pressure difference adjustment. Two adjusting screws permit switching point and hysteresis to be adjusted, whereby the cut-out point is first adjusted via the main pressure spring, and then the cut-in point via the pressure difference setting. By selecting a pair of values for cut-in and cut-out pressures, an intersection point is determined in the diagram. If the point lies within the shaded area, this pair of values can be adjusted on the pressure switch. If the point lies outside the shaded area, this pair of values cannot be adjusted on the pressure switch.
