Frequently Asked Questions - PZ5023 IFM

How to set the high set point (S)?

Press the SET S button for at least 5 seconds to enter programming mode. Release, then press SET S again to increase the value step by step. Confirm by briefly pressing ENTER S.

How to set the low set point (R)?

Press the SET R button for at least 5 seconds to enter programming mode. Release, then press SET R again to increase the value. Confirm with ENTER R.

What do the green and yellow LEDs mean?

The green LEDs indicate the current circuit pressure in steps of 10 % of the measuring range. The yellow LED indicates the switching state of the output: lit if the output is active.

How to read the exact displayed pressure?

The displayed value combines the lit LED (scale value) and the flashing LED (1/10 of the scale value). For example, if one LED is lit at 30 bar and one flashes at 8 bar, the pressure is 38 bar.

How to lock the sensor to prevent accidental programming?

Press both push buttons (SET S and SET R) simultaneously for about 10 seconds. The display turns off briefly to confirm the lock. Repeat the operation to unlock.

What to do if all LEDs flash?

This indicates a short circuit on the output. Check the wiring and eliminate the short circuit. The sensor is protected and will return to normal operation after the fault is cleared.

What is the required supply voltage?

The sensor requires a supply voltage of 18 to 30 V DC according to EN50178 (TBTS/TBTP).

Can I use the sensor for pressurized gas fluids?

Yes, but the pressure is limited to 25 bar maximum for gases. Check material compatibility with the fluid.

How to reduce the high or low set point?

Let the flashing and lit LEDs run through the entire scale up to the maximum value. The cycle will then restart at the minimum value, allowing you to set a lower value.

What is the accuracy of this sensor?

The repeatability is < ± 0.25 % of the measuring range and the switching point accuracy is < ± 2.0 % of the measuring range.

Safety instructions

Please read the product description prior to installing the unit. Please check that the product is suitable for your application without any restrictions.

If the operating instructions or the technical data are not adhered to, personal injury and/or damage to property may occur.

Please check in all applications that the product materials (see Technical data) are compatible with the media to be measured.

For gaseous media the application is limited to max. 25 bar.

1. Function and features

The pressure sensor detects whether a preset value has been reached or not and indicates this by a switched signal.

In addition a row of LEDs signals the current system pressure and the switch point (both in 10% steps).

□ = lit LED

= flashing LED

Applications (type of pressure: relative pressure):

	Measuring range	Order no.overl. pressure	Bursting pressure
PB5xx0 0 ...	400 bar 600 bar 100	bar
PB5xx1 0 ...	250 bar 400 bar 850	bar
PB5xx2 0 ...	100 bar 300 bar 650	bar
PB5xx3 0 ...	25 bar 100 bar 350	bar
PB5xx4 0 ...	10 bar 50 bar 150	bar
PB5xx6 0 ...	2,5 bar 20 bar 50	bar
PB5xx7 0 ...	1 bar 10	bar 30 bar

Avoid static and dynamic overpressure exceeding the given overload pressure.

Even if the bursting pressure is exceeded only for a short time the unit can be destroyed (danger of injuries)!

Indication of the current system pressure as from 5% of the value of the measuring range. “All LEDs OUT” does not mean that the system is free of pressure!

The unit

• can be used as N.O. or N.C.
  • and operates with the hysteresis function.

When the system pressure is rising, the output switches when the switch-on point has been reached (S); when the system pressure is falling again, the output switches back when the switch-off point (R) has been reached.

The hysteresis can be set: First the switch-on point is set, then the switch-off point with the requested difference.

Setting range:

PB5xx7	0.05 ... 1.0 bar	0.03 ... 0.98 bar 0.01 bar

2. Operating modes

The unit has the following operating modes:

Run mode (normal operating mode), display mode (indication of the switch-on / switch-off point), programming mode (setting of the switch-on / switch-off point).

Run mode:

When the supply voltage has been applied, the unit is in the Run mode. It monitors and switches the transistor output according to the set hysteresis.

The green LEDs indicate the current system pressure, the yellow LED indicates the switching state of the output.

Display mode:

When the button "SET S" (or "SET R") is pressed for a short time, the unit passes to the Display mode. Internally it remains in the operating mode. Irrespective of this the switch-on / switch-off point can be read in 1% steps.

- When the button is pressed for a short time, the corresponding value is displayed for approx. 5s; then the unit returns to the Run mode.

Programming mode:

The unit passes to the programming mode when after the selection of a parameter value (Display mode) the "Set" button is pressed until the display of the parameter value is changed. Internally the unit remains in the operating mode. It continues its monitoring function with the existing parameters until the change has been terminated.

You can change the parameter value by pressing the "Set" button and confirm it by pressing the "Mode/Enter" button. The unit returns to the Run mode when no button has been pressed for 5s.

3. Installation

Before mounting and removing the sensor, make sure that no pressure is applied to the system.

Mount the pressure sensor on a suitable process connection (see type label "Port Size").

4. Electrical connection

The unit must only be connected by an electrician.

The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment must be observed.

Voltage supply to EN50178, SELV, PELV.

Disconnect power before connecting the unit.

5. Programming

Increase the switch-on point / switch-off point

1	Press the SET S-button* and keep it pressed until the requested switch point is displayed.As soon as the LED starts moving the switch point can be increased (incremental by pressing briefly or scrolling by holding pressed).		After 5s the flashing LED moves from left to right.fter LED 9 has been reached the cycle starts again at LED 0. The LED which is constantly lit moves on by one position.**
2	Press the ENTER S-button* briefly (acknowledgement).		The set switch point becomes effective; the unit passes into the operating mode.

* SET R button to set the switch-off point
ENTER R button to acknowledge the setting of the switch-off point
The switch-on point (S) is always higher than the switch-off point (R). The unit does not accept values for R which are higher than S.
**Overflow: If the flashing LED and the lit LED exceed the maximum setting value, the cycle starts again at the minimum setting value.

Decrease the switch-on point / switch-off point

Let the flashing and lit LEDs move to the maximum setting value. Then the cycle starts again at the minimum setting value.

Locking / Unlocking

The unit can be electronically locked to prevent unwanted adjustment of the set parameters: Press both pushbuttons for 10s. Indication goes out briefly (acknowledgement of locking / unlocking). Units are delivered from the factory in the unlocked state.

6. Commissioning / Operation

After mounting, wiring and setting check whether the unit operates correctly. Faults displayed during operation: All LEDs flashing in case of short-circuit.
