1. Introduzione
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of the Danfoss KP1 060-1101 Pressure Switch. The KP1 pressure switch is designed for regulating, monitoring, and alarm systems in industrial applications. It features a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) contact system and is suitable for various pressure control tasks.

2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza
Always adhere to local regulations and safety standards when installing, operating, or servicing the pressure switch. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
- Installation and service must be performed by qualified personnel only.
- Disconnect power supply before performing any electrical connections or maintenance.
- Ensure the system pressure is relieved before connecting or disconnecting the pressure switch.
- Do not exceed the specified maximum operating pressure and electrical ratings.
- Protect the switch from moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures unless specifically designed for such conditions.
3. Configurazione e installazione
3.1. Montaggio
The KP1 pressure switch can be mounted in any position. Ensure the mounting location is free from excessive vibration and provides adequate space for wiring and adjustments.

3.3. Connessione elettrica
The KP1 060-1101 features screw terminals for electrical connections. Refer to the wiring diagram inside the switch cover for correct connections. Ensure all connections are secure and comply with electrical codes.
- Scollegare l'alimentazione prima del cablaggio.
- Connect the power supply and load to the appropriate terminals.
- The switch has a Normally Closed (NC) contact type.
3.4. Pressure Setting Adjustment
The KP1 pressure switch allows adjustment of both the cut-in/cut-out pressure (Range) and the differential pressure (Diff). These adjustments are typically made using screws located under the cover.

Figura 4: primo piano view of the Range and Differential adjustment scales on the Danfoss KP1 pressure switch.
- Regolazione della portata: Use the screw associated with "RANGE" to set the desired cut-out pressure.
- Regolazione differenziale: Use the screw associated with "DIFF" to set the difference between the cut-in and cut-out pressures.
- Ensure the system is depressurized before making adjustments.
4. Istruzioni per l'uso
Once installed and adjusted, the Danfoss KP1 060-1101 operates automatically based on the set pressure range. It functions as an automatic pressure controller.
- The switch will activate or deactivate connected equipment when the system pressure reaches the set cut-in or cut-out points.
- Some models may feature a manual reset button (indicated as "Reset Auto" in some diagrams). If present, this button allows for manual resetting of the switch after an alarm condition or power interruption.
5. Manutenzione
The Danfoss KP1 pressure switch is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Ispezione visiva: Controllare periodicamente l'interruttore per verificare la presenza di eventuali segni di danni fisici, corrosione o collegamenti allentati.
- Pulizia: Keep the exterior of the switch clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Controllo della funzionalità: If possible and safe to do so, periodically verify the switch's operation by observing its response to pressure changes within the system.
6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
Before attempting any troubleshooting, ensure the power supply is disconnected and system pressure is relieved.
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Switch does not activate/deactivate | Impostazioni di pressione errate Nessuna alimentazione Cablaggio difettoso Clogged pressure port | Verify and adjust Range and Differential settings Controllare i collegamenti di alimentazione e l'interruttore automatico Inspect wiring for loose or incorrect connections Clean pressure port |
| Operazione irregolare | Vibrazione eccessiva Fluttuazioni di pressione Guasto interno | Relocate switch or use vibration dampenergetici Stabilize system pressure Contact Danfoss support or replace switch |
| Leakage at pressure connection | Improperly tightened fitting Damaged seal/thread | Retighten connection (ensure system is depressurized) Replace seal or fitting |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact a qualified service technician or Danfoss customer support.
