Please note that the adjusting screw 7 has a stop only when turned in an anti-
clockwise direction.

Setting the switching point of the VPEV-...
S
Remove the connection socket.
1. Remove the protective cap 6.
2. Turn the adjusting elements as far as
possible (for basic setting):
– turn adjusting screw 7 in an anti-
clockwise direction (setting for mini-
mum switching point)
– turn adjusting bolt 5 in a-clockwise
direction [A/F 11] (setting for maximum
hysteresis).
3. Wire the electrical connections 1 and 2
with a continuity tester.
4. Pressurize the VPEV- 1/ 8 with the desired
lower switching vacuum (e. g. - 0.5 bar).
You must check this with a manometer.
The continuity tester does not react.
5. Turn the adjusting screw 7 in a clockwise
direction until the continuity tester reacts
(desired lower switching vacuum
achieved).
