3 Function and application
The (V)PE-... contains a chamber with a dia
phragm.
This diaphragm is subjected to pressure
forces (with PE-...)/tensile forces (with
VPE-...) on one side, and to the clamping force
of the springs on the other side. If the pres
sure or vacuum forces are increased in excess
of the clamping force, a piston connected to
the diaphragm will move and actuate a
changeover switch.
The (V)PE-... can be used as a normally-closed, normally-open or changeover
switch. It has been designed for converting pneumatic pressure values into electri
cal signals which are used for control or monitor functions.
4 Conditions of use
Please note
Incorrect handling can lead to malfunctioning.
SObserve the following instructions for the correct and safe use of the prod
uct.
SCompare the specified limits, e.g. pres
sures, forces and temperatures with your
individual application.
SMake sure that there is a supply of cor
rectly prepared compressed air.
STake into account the prevailing ambient
conditions.
SObserve the technical regulations as well
as relevant national and local laws.

SRemove all packing material such as protective wax, foils, caps and cartons.
The individual materials can be disposed of in separate containers for recycling
purposes.
SUse the product in its original state without undertaking any modifications.
5 Fitting
Mechanical components
SSelect the suitable fastening method:
a) by means of through holes 4in the
housing or
b) by fitting into the following mounting
frames:
– NRRQ-1N for (V)PE-...-1N, PE-PK-4
– NRRQ-2N for (V)PE-...-2N.
SFasten the (V)PE-... in the intended posi
tion.
Pneumatic components

Electrical components
Using the (V)PE-... with screw terminals 2and an operating voltage of ≥ AC/DC
50V:
Warning
You will receive an electric shock if you touch unprotected conductive compo
nents.
SMake sure that the electrical connections are protected in accordance with IP
20 (as per EN 60529). A protective cap as per Accessories (see section 9) is
required here.

Fastening the protective cap (type see section
9 “Accessories”)
SProceed as follows:
1. Insert the fastening pins into the
through holes 5.
2. Carefully press the protective cap
together until the hooks (A) and (B)
snap into place (do not break the
hooks off).
6 Commissioning
SSwitch on the operating voltage.
SPressurize the compressed air connection with the pressure required as the
switching pressure, or evacuate the vacuum required as the switching vacuum.
SCheck the function by modifying the pressure or vacuum applied.
7 Care and maintenance
Cleaning
SSwitch off the operating voltage.
SIf necessary, clean the (V)PE-....
Permitted cleaning agents are:
– soap suds (max. +60 °C)
– all non-abrasive agents.

Dismantling
SSwitch off the following sources of power:
– the operating voltage
– the compressed air
– the vacuum.
Dismantling the protective cap (Type see
section 9 “Accessories”)
SProceed as follows:
1. Carefully press hook (A) outwards (do
not break off).
2. Press hook (B).
3. Pull the protective cap apart.
