setting can be lost.

***) For BCP01 type: −10 to 70°C
Installation
In order to prevent malfunction of the pressure control, the
installation must be carried out acc. to the below description.
The cover of BCP should never be dismounted. This is not
necessary neither for installation nor for use of the control.
The plug should be mounted after installation of the pressure
control.
Mount the pressure control directly on the pipe. Always use a
wrench. (fig.3).
Damp strong pressure pulsations. A damping loop will often be
sufficient. Insert a water filled loop as a temperature barrier - for
example a 10 mm copper tube - if there is a risk of the pressure
connection to the control becoming heated to more than 120°C.
Steam boilers:
Connecting pipes for the limiter should be connected to the steam
space of the boiler and if necessary, the limiter shall be protected
against the steam temperature by a water seal. If isolating valve is
fitted on the connection pipe, the valve must be fitted with a
position locking device.
Fully flooded hot water generators:
The limiter should be connected to the supply pipe before the
first shut-off valve. The limiter body should be installed vertically
so that dirt does not enter the limiter. If there is the possibility of
sludge build-up in the connection pipe it should be possible to
purge the pipe. Such purging must not remove the water seal or
introduce dirt into the water seal.
In addidition, the connection pipe and its boiler connection must
be designed for cleaning and inspection and have a clear bore of
at least:
1. Where pipe supplies only the limiter:
8mm - if pipe is less than 1m long
15 mm - if pipe is more than 1 m long
2. Where pipe supplies the limiter in addition to other limiters;
20 mm - for all lengths of pipes.

Functional testing of the limiter
Since the pressure limiter has no internal possibility for functional
testing, there has to be a provision made for functional testing of
the device at the boiler site.
The result of the test must be clearly visible to the boiler operator.
The test function should not decrease the boiler safety or lead the
pressure limiter to become inoperable e.g. by possible permanent

Short circuit protection
The BCP contact system and any co-operated external contactors
or relays should, against the effects of short circuits, be over-
current protected with 0.6 safety factor.
It means that the nominal current of the device, as stated by the
manufacturer, is to be multiplied by a safety factor of 0.6.
Example:
Rated load for AC15 is 2A.
Safety factor is 0,6 in consequence: fuse = 2A x 0,6 = 1,2A or less.
Expected electrical life time:
Min. 250.000 cycles under full contact load
Adjustment
IMPORTANT:
- Do not adjust pointers beyond the highest or lowest indicator
marks on the scale plate, as this may cause inaccurate control
operation.
- Do not apply torque greater than 50 Ncm as it can damage the
pointers
- The scale plate is only for reference and for more precise setting
a pressure gauge should be used.
- Low Switching Point must be above absolute vacuum!
If the differential is set too high on the controller then it will not
switch.
Pressure Controller
Scale plate directly indicates High Switching Point (HSP) and
Differential.
1. Set High Switching Point (HSP) by adjusting range screw (fig. 7)
2. Then set Differential by adjusting differential screw (fig. 8)
3. Low Switching Point (LSP) is equal to High Switching Point (HSP)
