Safety Instructions

1 Safety Instructions
1. 1 Designated Use
The Bulletin 836E is a pressure switch for measuring and monitoring absolute and gauge
pressures. The device has been safely built with state-of-the-art technology and meets the
applicable requirements and EC Directives. It can, however, be a source of danger if used
incorrectly or for anything other than the designated use.

1. 2 Installation, Commissioning, and Operation

Only personnel familiar with these types of products and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the
Bulletin 836E pressure switch. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.

1. 3 Operational Safety
• Functional safety
The Bulletin 836E pressure switches were developed according to the standards IEC 61508
and IEC 61511-1 (FDIS).
• Hazardous areas
The Bulletin 836E is not approved for use in intrinsic safety (hazardous area) applications.

1. 4 Return
Before returning a device to Rockwell Automation, be sure to remove all fluid residue. This is
particularly important if the fluid is a health hazard, e.g. flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic,
etc.

ATTENTION: Do not return a measuring device if you are

not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous substances
have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated
crevices or diffused through plastic.

Notes:
• Specifications and ratings may differ from those shown in Figure 1, depending on particular
model. Refer to product nameplate or catalog for actual ratings and specifications.
• The series number indicates the version of the switch. A change in the series letter does not
have any effect on the compatibility (see also Section 6 — Troubleshooting).
• The MWP (maximum working pressure) is specified on the nameplate. This value refers to
a reference temperature of +20 °C (68 °F) and may be applied to the device for an
unlimited time.
• The test pressure (Over Pressure Limit [OPL]) corresponds to 1.5 times the MWP and may
be applied only for a limited time before causing damage to the switch.

➀ Bulletin 836E pressure switch

➁ Shut-off assembly
➂ U-pipe
For typical applications of the Bulletin 836E, see Figure 3 above:
• The image on the left illustrates how the 836E should be applied for pressure measurement in
gases. The switch should be mounted with a shut-off assembly above the sampling nozzle so
that any condensate can drain off into the process.
• The center image shows the correct installation for pressure measurement in steam. Note how
the Bulletin 836E is mounted with a U-pipe below the sampling nozzle. Fill the U-pipe with fill
fluid before commissioning.
• For pressure measurement in liquids, see the drawing on the right of Figure 3 above. The
Bulletin 836E should be mounted below or at the same level as the sampling nozzle.
Additional considerations:
• Do not mount the device in the product flow or at a point where it could be affected by
pressure pulses.
• Calibration and testing are easier if the device is mounted downstream of a shut-off assembly.
• The orientation of the Bulletin 836E can result in zero point shift, i.e. the measured value does
not display zero in a non-pressurized state. This zero point shift can be corrected (see Section 4
– Operation).
• The digital display can be electronically rotated 180° (see Section 4 – Operation).
• The housing can be rotated up to 310° for optimal readability and ease of wiring.

Fig. 11: Changing the adapter

➀ Sensor module with adapter thread

➁ Standard O-ring
➂ Adapter

Please note the following when changing the adapter:

• Use a new O-ring. Diameter 15.54 x 2.62 mm (0.61 x 0.10 in.) with either EPDM 70 Shore
FDA or FKM 70 Shore FDA material
• The sensor can be mounted with a 27 mm open-ended wrench.
• The adapter can be threaded on and tightened with a 28 or 32 mm (1.1 or 1.26 in.)
open-ended wrench (depending on the process connection).
The maximum torque is 80 N•m. The adapter can become loose if exposed to severe strain
through pressure and temperature. For this reason, the adapter connection must be checked
regularly and the tightened if necessary. We recommend using TeflonTM tape as an
additional thread seal.
• When changing the adapter, take care to not damage the diaphragm of the pressure sensing
element.

If an error occurs in the electronics, the color of the status LED changes from green to red and
the display shows an error or warning code, as outlined below:
• E-code for errors
In the event of an error message, the measured value is unreliable.
• W-code for warnings
In the event of a warning, the measured value is still reliable.

7 Technical Data
7. 1 Display Version
7.1.1 Power Supply
Supply voltage
• DC voltage version
12...30V DC
Current consumption
• Without load < 60 mA, with reverse polarity protection
Power supply failure
• Behavior in case of over voltage
The device works continuously without any damage up to 34V DC.
If the supply voltage is exceeded, the properties specified are no longer guaranteed.
• Behavior in case of under voltage
If the supply voltage drops below the minimum value, the device switches off (status as if
not supplied with power = switch open).

7.1.2 Output
Switching capacity
• Switch status ON: Ia ≤ 250 mA
• Switch status OFF: Ia ≤ 1 mA
• Switching cycles: > 10 000 000
• Voltage drop PNP: ≤ 2V
• Overload protection
Automatic load check of switching current; output is switched off in case of over current,
the switching current is tested again every 0.4 sec.; max. capacitance load: 14 μF at max.
supply voltage (without resistive load) max. period length: 0.5 sec.; min. ton: 40 μs
Load (analog output)
• Max. (Vsupply − 6.5V)/0.022 A
Input PLC
• Input resistance Ri ≤ 2 kΩ
Input current Ii ≥ 10 mA
Signal on alarm
• Analog output
≤ 3.6 mA / last current value / ≥ 21.0 mA adjustable
(if setting ≥ 21.0 mA the output is ≥ 21.5 mA)
• Signal outputs
In safe state (switch normally open)
