When the switch is exposed to process media that may harden and/or build up in the pressure port, the switch
should be removed and cleaned as needed.
However, to ensure reliable operation and a long lifetime for the device, we recommend that it is checked regularly.
9.1 Safety
When undertaking servicing work on the device, the pressure lines must be depressurized, the electrical connections
isolated from the mains supply, and the plant secured against being switched on again.
9.2 Check on function, and recalibration
The check on function and recalibration is carried out at regular intervals, depending on the application. The precise
testing cycles should be adjusted in line with the operating conditions and ambient conditions. In the event of various
device components interacting, the operating instructions for all other devices should also be taken into account.
Check on function, in conjunction with downstream components.
Check of pressurized connection pipes for seal condition.
Check of electrical connections.
9.3 Cleaning and maintenance
Never use aggressive solvents.
Do not use high-pressure water to clean the switch.
