Schedule
 
EQUIPMENT:
Equipment and systems covered by this certificate are as follows:
 

The Model 220 Pressure Switch is for measuring differential pressure and comprises a pressure assembly and cover housing a single or double reed switch assembly and either a circuit board with a terminal strip interface or a single or double relay assembly with terminal strip interface. The switches, or switches, and pressure indication are magnetically coupled to a moving magnet inside the pressure assembly.

The cast body (pressure assembly) and cover are manufactured from aluminium with a maximum working pressure rating of up to 20.7MPa (3000psig). The body may optionally include a stainless steel insert to provide all stainless steel wetted parts. The cover is secured to the body with seven M5, stainless steel hexagon head captive screws. 

Internal and external earth facilities are provided. 

A ½” NPT cable entry hole is provided for the accommodation of a cable entry device, with or without the interposition of a flameproof thread adapter. The cable entry device, and thread adapter if fitted is to be suitable for the equipment, the cable and the conditions of use and shall be certified as Equipment (not a Component).

Variation 0.1

An alternative version with a maximum working pressure rating of up to 10.3MPa (1500psig). In this form the equipment is designated a Model 240 Pressure Switch.

Variation 0.2

The optional fitting of an external dial gauge assembly for the indication of differential pressure. 

Variation 0.3

The optional replacement of the magnetic switches with an electronics unit having a 4-20mA proportional output. In this form the unit is designated a Transmitter Unit.

Further description can be found in the Certificate Annex

 

 
CONDITIONS OF CERTIFICATION: YES as shown below:
 
1. The maximum gap permitted between the body and cover is less than the maximum permitted in the standard. Therefore it is the responsibility of the user of this equipment to ensure the maximum gap between the body and the cover is not greater than 0.038mm (0.0015’’). 

2. The cover fasteners are of a non-standard production. For replacement purposes these fasteners shall be obtained from the unit manufacturer only.  

3. The optional dial gauge may present a potential electrostatic charging hazard. Do not clean or rub when an explosive atmosphere may be present.
