11.4. CALIBRATING THE PRESSURE SWITCHES
The pressure switches are only present in sets with an EP, SP-
EFC or SP-MFC control panel.
The pressure switches are calibrated (at ambient temperature)
according to the following standard table:
Pressure switch calibration table:

Pump

Pump no. 1
Stop
(or pilot pump)

With:
P0 = max pressure in bar of pump no. 1 (or pilot pump) with
the opening closed
P1 - P8 = calibrating pressures in bar (see the following table)
ΔP = minimum differential in bar (see the following table)
NB: depending on the characteristics of certain types of pumps
(with flat curve), the pressure switch for pump no.1 (or pilot)
may be calibrated at a stopping pressure P1= P0 – 0.3 bar Any
diaphragm tanks must be calibrated by the user at a pressure
Check and set
proper parameters
(see the control
panel user manual)
Correct adjustment
of pressure switches
Install adequately
sized pressure
vessel (if absent)
and/or check for
proper precharge
Replace membrane
or vessel
Check and set
proper parameters
(see the control
panel user manual)
