3 General

If you have any questions regarding technical details or the suitability of the EDS 4000 for
your application please contact our technical sales department. The EDS 4000 pressure
switches are individually calibrated on computer-controlled test rigs and subjected to a final
test and should operate perfectly when used according to the specifications (see technical
data). If faults do nonetheless arise, please contact HYDAC Service. Interference by anyone
other than HYDAC personnel will invalidate all warranty claims.

4 Installation

The pressure switch can be fitted directly to the hydraulic system via the threaded
connection. For mechanical decoupling in the case of strong vibrations or knocks, we
recommend that the pressure switch is mounted by means of a clamp with rubber insert and
that the hydraulic connection be made via a Minimess hose. The recommended mounting
position is vertical with the pressure connection pointing upwards in hydraulic applications
and vertical with the pressure connection pointing downwards in pneumatic applications. The
electrical connection should be carried out by a qualified elecrician according to the relevant
regulations of the country concerned (e.g. VDE 0100 in Germany).
The pressure switches of the EDS 4000 series carry the
is available on request. They conform to EMC standards: EN 61000-6-1; EN 61000-6-2, EN
61000-6-3, EN 6100-6-4. The requirements of the standards are fulfilled only if the sensor
housing is earthed correctly by qualified personnel. When installing the EDS 4000 into a
hydraulic block it is sufficient if the block is earthed via the hydraulic system. In the case of
hose-mounting, the housing must be earthed separately.
