INSTRUCTIONS
SELECTION
This product is to be utilized with clean fresh water, even slightly additivated with normal detergents. For use involving
different or corrosive liquids, contact the PA Technical department.
Choose the flowswitch in line with the data of nominal running (system rated pressure, max flow and max temperature).
In any case, the pressure of the machine should not exceed the permissible pressure rate imprinted on the body.
Check the real value of voltage and current of the system: they should be kept within the max indicated value.
INSTALLATION
ATTENTION: This accessory can be installed horizontal or vertical but with the flow entrance on the lower side.
Connection to the Hydraulic system.
Use correct fittings in line with the dimensions and performance of the valve. Avoid restrictions on the passage diame-
ters that might cause malfunctions, pressure reduction and wearing. This accessory, on a system that produces hot wa-
ter, must be fitted in front of the generator.
This product is to be installed on a finished machine.
Electric installation
For the connection of the electric installation, see fig.1
Electrical installation is to be carried out by qualified personnel.
CAUTION!! - The electric device must be mounted on an earthed hydraulic system.

ELECTRIC LIFETIME OF THE CONTACT
The electric circuit, contained in the probe, consists of a reed switch that can function up to 1 million operations. Current
or voltage in excess, superior to the allowed limits, damage considerably the contacts reducing the electric lifetime (pit-
ting; sticking). To prevent these phenomena, it is necessary to evaluate with attention the transient ratings in which the
take off current might be 10/12 times the rating current.
The interruption of inductive loads can make the circuit reach different power readings (ddp) in the order of thousands of
volts. Therefore, take care in these situations of overload and excess voltage which are created during starting, circuit
closure and stoppage and circuit aperture. In order to prevent these distorsions it is necessary to foresee adeguate pro-
tections for the system. There are many circuits to choose from and one of the most common with effective remedy is
seen on fig.2
OPERATIONS
In order to prevent malfunctions, the flow switch must not be set near heat or magnetic sources. Do not store or handle
on full metal structures nor test the magnetic strength of the piston on magnetic material. It is advisable to properly
clean the system before operation in order to expell possible residual metal. The electric probe is stamped at the end of
the exit cable, indicating the setting in relation to the brass body and allows a correct assembly of the “reed” bulb. In
case of intervention or repair, follow this indication: wrong positioning could damage the probe.
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
PROBLEMS PROBABLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
The Piston does not move - Insufficient flow
- Faulty assembly
- Piston jammed by scale and metal shavings
- Check leaks in the circuit
- Re-assemble, observing the flow direction
- Check, clean and or replace
Electric signal missing - Damaged “reed” electric contacts
- Electric connection incorrect or disconnected
- Un-phased probe or displaced
- Replace electric probe
- Provide eventual circuit protection
- Check and or repair
- Renew
