Troubleshooting

Switch does not actuate pneumatic valve

Verify pneumatic connections are secure and correctly routed to the valve. Check that the switch is properly mounted and aligned. Ensure the valve itself is functioning correctly by testing it directly or with a known good switch. Confirm the system pressure is within the switch's operating range (up to 8 bar).

Toggle mechanism feels stiff or stuck

Inspect the toggle for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the switch is not subjected to excessive force or misalignment during operation. Operate the switch within its rated temperature range. If the issue persists, the switch may require replacement.

Visual indicator is unclear or stuck

Check for any physical damage to the indicator. Ensure the switch is fully engaging in either the on or off position. If the indicator remains stuck or unclear despite proper actuation, contact technical support for potential replacement.
