Manuale utente del kit pressostato Fantech DB 10

1. Introduzione

The Fantech DB 10 Pressure Switch Kit is a pressure-activated control device designed to automate the operation of various systems, such as dryer booster fans or ventilation systems. It features an integral delay function, ensuring stable and reliable performance by preventing rapid cycling. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of your DB 10 Pressure Switch Kit.

2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza

AVVERTIMENTO: Installation and servicing of this product should only be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect power before installing or servicing the unit to prevent electric shock or equipment damage. All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes.

• Durante l'installazione indossare sempre dispositivi di protezione individuale (DPI) adeguati.
• Assicurarsi che l'alimentazione corrisponda al voltage requirements of the switch (115-120 Volts).
• Do not exceed the specified current rating of the switch.
• Keep all electrical connections dry and secure.

3. Cosa c'è nella scatola

The Fantech DB 10 Pressure Switch Kit includes the following components:

• 1 x DB 10 Pressure Switch with Integral Delay
• 1 x Section of NPT Tubing (approximately 3 feet)
• 1 x Grommet for Tubing
• 4 x Wire Nuts for Electrical Connection
• 1 x Packet with Switch Mounting Hardware (screws and wall anchors)

4. Installazione

Follow these steps for proper installation of the DB 10 Pressure Switch:

1. Scegli la posizione di montaggio: Select a location for the pressure switch that is easily accessible and close to the ductwork or system it will monitor. The switch should be mounted vertically with the pressure port facing upwards or horizontally.
2. Montare l'interruttore: Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the pressure switch to a stable surface.
3. Prepare Duct Connection: Drill a small hole (typically 1/4 inch) into the ductwork where pressure changes are most significant. For applications like dryer booster fans, it is often recommended to drill the hole just before an elbow or a backdraft damper to ensure sufficient pressure buildup for reliable activation.
4. Collegare il tubo: Insert one end of the NPT tubing into the pressure port on the switch. Secure the other end of the tubing into the drilled hole in the ductwork using the provided grommet to create an airtight seal. Ensure the tubing is not kinked or obstructed.
5. Cavi elettrici: The DB 10 switch is designed for 115-120 Volt AC supply. It features a Normally Closed (NC) contact type. Connect the electrical wires using the provided wire nuts according to the wiring diagram specific to your application. Ensure all connections are tight and insulated. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about the wiring process.
6. Verifica connessioni: Double-check all mechanical and electrical connections before restoring power.

5. Funzionamento

The Fantech DB 10 Pressure Switch operates automatically based on pressure differentials. When the system it monitors (e.g., a dryer or ventilation fan) begins operation, it creates a pressure change within the ductwork. Once this pressure change reaches the switch's activation threshold, the switch will close its contacts, thereby activating the connected device (e.g., a booster fan). The integral delay function ensures that the switch does not react to momentary pressure fluctuations, providing stable and consistent operation. When the system stops, the pressure drops, and after a short delay, the switch will open its contacts, deactivating the connected device.

6. Manutenzione

The DB 10 Pressure Switch is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can ensure its longevity and reliable performance:

• Ispezionare i tubi: Periodically check the NPT tubing for any kinks, cracks, or blockages that could affect pressure sensing. Ensure it remains securely connected to both the switch and the duct.
• Controllare i collegamenti elettrici: Ensure all wire nuts and electrical connections remain tight and free from corrosion.
• Esterno pulito: Mantenere l'esterno dell'interruttore pulito e privo di polvere o detriti. Non utilizzare prodotti chimici aggressivi.
• Verifica operazione: Occasionally verify that the switch activates and deactivates as expected with the operation of the connected system.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your DB 10 Pressure Switch, consider the following:

• Dispositivo non attivato:
  • Ensure the power supply to the switch is active.
  • Check the NPT tubing for blockages, kinks, or leaks.
  • Verify that sufficient pressure is being generated in the ductwork. The pressure sensing hole should ideally be located where pressure builds up, such as before an elbow or dampeh.
  • Inspect electrical connections for looseness or damage.
• Device Not Deactivating:
  • Ensure the pressure in the ductwork has returned to normal (i.e., the system it monitors is off).
  • Check the NPT tubing for any persistent blockages or foreign objects that might be maintaining pressure.
  • If the issue persists, the switch itself may be faulty and require replacement.
• Funzionamento intermittente:
  • Verificare la presenza di collegamenti elettrici allentati.
  • Ensure the pressure signal is consistent and not fluctuating rapidly.
