1. Úvod
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of the Danfoss 061F8490 Cartridge Pressure Switch. This device is designed for high-pressure applications, featuring a 1/4 inch flare connection and a normally open, single-pole, single-throw (SPST) contact type. Please read these instructions thoroughly before proceeding with installation or use.
2. Bezpečnostní informace
VAROVÁNÍ: Improper installation, operation, or maintenance can result in serious injury or equipment damage. Always adhere to local electrical codes and safety regulations.
- Před instalací nebo servisem se ujistěte, že je odpojeno napájení.
- Toto zařízení by měl instalovat a opravovat pouze kvalifikovaný personál.
- Ověřte, zda provozní tlak a objemtage do not exceed the specified limits of the switch.
- Protect the device from physical damage and extreme environmental conditions beyond its IP65 rating.
- Do not modify the pressure switch in any way.
3. Nastavení a instalace
The Danfoss 061F8490 pressure switch is designed for surface mounting and features a 1/4 inch female flare connection for integration into high-pressure systems. The device comes with a 1.5-meter cable (AWG18) for electrical connection.
3.1 Mechanická instalace
- Identify a suitable surface for mounting the pressure switch. The mounting type is surface mount.
- Connect the 1/4 inch female flare connection of the pressure switch to the corresponding male flare fitting in your high-pressure system. Ensure a tight, leak-free seal.
- The switch is rated for pressures up to 200 BAR (2900 PSI). Verify your system's operating pressure is within this range.

Figure 1: Danfoss 061F8490 Cartridge Pressure Switch. This image shows the compact design of the pressure switch, featuring a brass 1/4 inch flare connection on one end and a black plastic housing with two electrical wires (1.5m cable, AWG18) extending from the other end, secured by an orange tie.
3.2 Elektrické připojení
- Před provedením jakýchkoli elektrických zapojení se ujistěte, že je hlavní napájení VYPNUTÉ.
- The pressure switch has a 1.5 M cable with AWG18 wires. Connect these wires to your control circuit.
- This is a Normally Open (NO), Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) switch. This means the circuit is open (no current flows) under normal conditions (below the set pressure) and closes (current flows) when the pressure reaches the activation point.
- Provozní svtage is 250 Volts. Confirm your circuit voltage matches this specification.
- Ujistěte se, že všechna elektrická připojení jsou bezpečná a izolovaná, aby se zabránilo zkratu.
4. Návod k obsluze
The Danfoss 061F8490 pressure switch operates automatically based on the system pressure. Once installed and wired correctly, it will function without manual intervention.
- Automatický provoz: The switch is designed for automatic operation. It will change its contact state (from open to closed) when the system pressure reaches its factory-set activation point.
- Monitorování tlaku: The switch monitors the pressure in the connected system. When the pressure exceeds the threshold, the normally open contacts will close, completing the circuit.
- Integrace systému: The switch is typically integrated into control systems to activate or deactivate other components (e.g., pumps, alarms) based on pressure conditions.
- Typ pohonu: The product specification mentions "Push Button" as an actuator type. If present, this may be for manual testing of the switch's functionality or for a manual override, depending on the specific model variant. Consult system diagrams for its intended use.
- Způsob ovládání: The specification also lists "Touch" as a control method. For a pressure switch, this typically refers to the physical interaction required to install or test the device, rather than an ongoing operational control.
5. Údržba
The Danfoss 061F8490 pressure switch is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspections are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Vizuální kontrola: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or leaks around the flare connection.
- Integrita kabelu: Check the 1.5 M cable for fraying, cuts, or damage to the insulation.
- Zabezpečení připojení: Ujistěte se, že všechna elektrická a mechanická připojení zůstávají pevná a bezpečná.
- Čištění: If necessary, clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. The IP65 rating indicates protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, but direct immersion or high-pressure washing should be avoided.
- Funkční testování: If your system allows, periodically test the switch's functionality by simulating pressure changes to confirm it activates at the correct set point.
6. Řešení problémů
This section provides guidance for common issues. For problems not listed here, contact qualified service personnel.
| Problém | Možná příčina | Řešení |
|---|---|---|
| Switch does not activate at expected pressure. | Incorrect system pressure; clogged pressure port; faulty switch. | Verify system pressure with a gauge. Check for obstructions in the pressure line. If pressure is correct and no obstruction, the switch may be faulty and require replacement. |
| No electrical signal when switch activates. | Loose or incorrect wiring; damaged cable; faulty control circuit. | Check all electrical connections for tightness and correct polarity. Inspect the 1.5 M cable for damage. Test the control circuit independently. |
| Leakage at flare connection. | Improperly tightened connection; damaged flare fitting. | Ensure the 1/4 inch flare connection is properly tightened. Inspect the flare fitting for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Switch contacts remain closed (or open) continuously. | Stuck contacts; internal mechanical failure; continuous over/under pressure. | Verify system pressure is within normal operating range. If pressure is normal, the switch is likely faulty and requires replacement. |
