MAINTENANCE
Inspections should be carried out at quarterly to
yearly intervals depending upon operating
conditions. Isolate the unit from process and power
and remove the lid. Check all terminals for
tightness. Check that cable tails are not fouled or
chafed. Check for internal condensation. Check
that the gasket is seated properly in the lid recess
and is not worn. Keep the enclosure and lid clear of
dust build up. It is recommended that instruments
used to provide an alarm are operated periodically
to ensure they are functioning correctly. If further
maintenance is required seek advice from DELTA
CONTROLS before attempting repair or
replacement of parts.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE

Applicable to all flameproof models of Industrial
series (Pressure switch series S20).

1. The flamepath between the pushrod and the

bush assembly has a maximum diametrical
clearance of 0.12 mm, which is less than
that permitted by Table 2 of standard EN
60079-1. The user shall ensure this
diametrical clearance is not exceeded in
service.

Additional special condition for safe use that

applies to model 2S24 and 3S24 only, when used
in the boundary between an area requiring EPL Ga
and an area requiring EPL Gb.

2. The partition wall (the process diaphragm) is

less than 1 mm thick and shall not be
subjected to environmental conditions that
adversely affect the partition wall.
