Electronic pressure switch, model PSD-4

Description
Leading in design and functionality High quality
The model PSD-4 pressure switch represents the extensive During development of the WIKA switch family a high value
further development of the PSD-30 pressure switch, itself was placed on a robust design and the selection of appropri-
already awarded with the “iF product design award” for its ate materials suited to machine-building applications. For this
outstanding functionality. A high accuracy of 0.5 %, freely reason the case and the threaded connection of the electrical
configurable output signals (PNP/NPN, 4 ... 20 mA/0 ... 10 connector are made from stainless steel. Overwinding or
V), the 5:1 scalability of the analogue output, in addition to tearing off the connector is therefore virtually impossible.
outstanding self-diagnostics, make the PSD-4 an excellent
automation solution. IO-Link 1.1
With the optional output signal in accordance with the IO-Link
Customised installation communication standard, the PSD-4 allows a fast integration
The installation of the PSD-4 can be flexibly adapted to the into modern automation systems. IO-Link offers simpler and
individual mounting situation. Due to the almost unlimited faster installation, parameterisation and higher functionality
rotation of the digital display and case by more than 300°, the for the PSD-4.
digital display can be adjusted independently of the electrical
connection. The digital display can thus always be aligned to
face the operator, and the M12 x 1 connection positioned to
suit the desired cable routing.

The stated measuring ranges are also available in kg/cm² and MPa.
Special measuring ranges between 0 ... 0.4 and 0 ... 1,000 bar (0 ... 10 bis 0 ... 7,500 psi) are available on request.
Special measuring ranges have a reduced long-term stability and increased temperature errors.

Overload safety
The overload safety is based on the sensor element used. Dependent on the selected process connection and the sealing,
restrictions in overload safety can result.

≤ 600 bar (< 8,000 psi): 2 times

> 1,000 bar (≥ 8,000 psi): 1.5 times

Increased overload safety (option)

With increased overload safety there are deviations in temperature error, signal noise and long-term stability.

Vacuum-tight
Yes

Restrictor (option)
For applications where pressure spikes can occur, the use
of a restrictor is recommended. The restrictor narrows the
pressure port to 0.3 mm and thus increases the resistance
against pressure spikes.
