Danfoss 060-5232 Pressure Switch

The Danfoss 060-5232 is a heavy-duty SPDT pressure switch designed for precision monitoring and control in commercial refrigeration and HVACR systems. Engineering-grade bellows technology ensures high reliability and vibration stability, maintaining accurate setpoints even under the rigorous pulsing conditions of a discharge line. This model features a wide regulation range of 28" Hg to 100 psig with a fixed 10 psi differential, providing a broader operational window than the legacy O16-585. As a manual reset pressure control, it serves as a critical safety limit, requiring a technician to physically inspect the system before resuming operation after a low-pressure cutout. The 1/4" male flare connection allows for standard integration into existing refrigerant lines. With a robust contact rating of 24A at 240V AC, this Danfoss KPU1B switch handles high-load compressor or fan cycling without the need for auxiliary contactors in most standard 120/240V applications.

• Fail-Safe Protection: The manual reset function prevents automatic restarts during fault conditions, protecting compressors from short-cycling or oil burnout.
• Legacy Replacement: Acts as the direct replacement for O16-585, offering a wider pressure range and a precise 10# differential for improved system tuning.
• Snap-Action Contacts: High-integrity SPDT switch mechanism minimizes arcing and ensures clean electrical breaks, extending the life of the electromechanical control.
• Versatile Compatibility: Engineered for use with fluorinated refrigerants (HCFC and HFC) in both air conditioning and commercial cooling applications.
• Field-Tested Durability: Housed in a NEMA 1 equivalent enclosure with IP30 rating, ensuring protection against dust and debris in mechanical rooms.

How do I set the cutout point on the Danfoss 060-5232?
Adjust the range spindle located at the top of the unit. Turning the screw clockwise lowers the cutout setpoint. Always use a calibrated pressure gauge for precise adjustment, as the scale plate is intended for reference.

Can this pressure switch be used on the high-pressure side?
No, the 060-5232 is specifically designed as a low-pressure control (28" Hg to 100 psig). For high-pressure discharge protection, a KPU series switch with a higher range (typically 100-465 psig) is required.

Does this switch support automatic reset after the pressure rises?
No, this is a manual reset (M/R) model. Once the pressure drops below the setpoint and triggers a cutout, a technician must manually depress the reset button after the system pressure has sufficiently recovered.
