Mounting Considerations
The mounting bracket is fitted as standard.
Wiring Instructions
1. Ensure the switch is isolated.
2. Remove the lid and terminal cover.
3. User terminals 1 and 2 (or C and NC) for closed circuit below
operating pressure.
Two Slots 6.7 Wide
4. Use terminals 1 and 3 (or C and NO) for closed circuit above 12.7 Long
operating pressure.
Dimensions in mm Fig.1
5. Ensure Earth connection is used.
Adjustment WIRING
Normally Open Contact
A quarter turn of the adjusting nut will give a change in setting of
approximately 10% of the range of the SPU. (400 mbar on the
SPU 1201, 25 mbar on SPU 1202). Fig. 3.
