Danfoss RT5A Pressure Switch | 4.0 to 17.0 bar | Manual Reset (Min.) | 017-506166

Product Description:

The Danfoss RT5A (017-506166) is a critical safety instrument for high-precision industrial processes across the UAE. This specific model is equipped with a Manual Reset (Min.) feature, ensuring that if the system pressure falls below the calibrated setpoint (within the 4.0 to 17.0 bar range), the switch trips and stays locked. This prevents automatic restarting until a manual inspection is performed—a vital safeguard for UAE cold storage and industrial facilities where a sudden drop in pressure could indicate a leak or serious malfunction. Encased in an IP66-rated housing, it is built to resist the sandy, humid, and corrosive ammonia environments typical of Dubai’s large-scale refrigeration infrastructure.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Low-Pressure Lockout (Min. Reset): Ensures system safety by requiring a manual reset after a pressure drop event in UAE industrial units.
• Ammonia (R717) Compatible: Robust bellows design specifically engineered for use with ammonia and other non-corrosive refrigerants in the UAE.
• Rugged IP66 Enclosure: Provides maximum protection against dust and moisture, ideal for the harsh outdoor conditions of the UAE.
• Precision Industrial Range: 4 to 17 bar regulation range offers accurate safety monitoring for high-side refrigeration lines in Dubai.
• Vibration Resistant: Engineered to maintain its safety setpoint despite being mounted near heavy-duty UAE industrial compressors.
