Test pressure switch
One or two pressure switches can be used for
monitoring the pressure in the test section:
A change-over contact is required if a com-
mon pressure switch (P
phases 1 and 2.
The switch point of the pressure switch must
be set to half of the gas flow pressure.
If set properly, two pressure switches de-
tect even small amounts of leaked gas. The
amounts of leaked gas can be individually set
to the required value for:
Limit value
The DSLC must prevent ignition and the
opening of the actuators at a limit value < 0.1
% of the burner consumption (with regard to
the burner capacity), or < 50 dm
value must be taken into account). We recom-
mend that a max. limit value of 200 dm
should not be exceeded.

p
The pressure switches used must
meet the requirements of EN 1854!
Gas leakage rate
The gas leakage rate can be recalculated us-
ing the equations, and the switch points of the
test switches can be changed if necessary.
