5.1 Fallos comunes & Causas

5.2 Pautas de mantenimiento

1. Safety Precaution

Cut off gas supply and release pressure

Disconnect power supply

Cool down equipment to room temperature

2. Calibration Procedure

① Remove protective cover and locate adjusting screw

② Connect standard pressure source and set target value

③ Clockwise rotation increases set pressure, counter-clockwise decreases

④ Test switching action and confirm accurate trigger point

⑤ Reinstall cover and ensure tight sealing

3. Component Replacement

Diaphragm: Dismount with special tools, pay attention to gasket installation direction

Contacto: Replace whole switch module instead of single contact

Primavera: Use identical specification spare part to guarantee precision

Notas clave

1. Pressure Matching

Keep actual working pressure within 20%-80% of adjustment range to maintain accuracy.

2. Requisitos de instalación

Mount vertically with diaphragm downward to avoid condensed water accumulation.

Install filter at pressure port to prevent internal impurity damage.

Secure wiring firmly to avoid false triggering.

3. Safety Regulations

Interlock with gas leakage alarm device.

Conduct regular inspection and calibration every 6 meses.

Perform pressure and leakage test after maintenance.

4. Purchase Notice

Choose genuine Siemens products; counterfeit items have unstable quality.

Keep original package and certificate for after-sales service.

Working Principle of QPL25.050B

Core principle: Air pressure deforms diaphragm, mechanical linkage drives contact on-off to realize overpressure interlock protection

1. Pressure Sensing

Gas flows into inner chamber through G1/4 port and acts on rubber diaphragm, driving axial displacement with pressure variation.

2. Mechanical Force Balance

Diaphragm thrust counterbalances preset spring tension. Rotate adjusting screw to change spring preload and set trigger pressure threshold.

3. Linkage Actuation

When pressure rises to set value, diaphragm overcomes spring resistance and pushes rod to drive lever mechanism. Spring rebounds when pressure drops below threshold.

4. Contact Switching

Lever movement switches SPDT contacts, reverses circuit status and transmits electric signal for burner start-stop and alarm interlock.

5. Differential Pressure Stabilization

Fixed pressure differential prevents frequent switching and unnecessary equipment startup/shutdown.

6. Modo de reinicio

Standard automatic reset; contacts recover initial state once pressure returns to normal range.
