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
Bulletin836E 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 IEC61508
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.
Product Identification

2 Product Identification
Fig. 1: Explanation of the nameplate - see table below
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.

3. 3 Installation Instructions
Fig. 3: Typical applications of the Bulletin 836E to measure pressure in gases, steam and liquids.
Bulletin 836E pressure switch
Shut-off assembly
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 Section4
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.

4.1.1 Navigating Through the Programming Menu
Refer to the menu structure in Figure 4.1.2 on the following page.
The section labeled A refers to Function groups
The section labeled B refers to the individual Functions within each Function group
The section labeled C identifies the possible values for each function
To enter the operating menu:
Press and hold the E key for longer than 3 sec.
Once in programming mode (BASE will be displayed), toggle between the Function groups
with the + and keys
To enter the Function group, press the E key
To toggle between functions, repeatedly press the E key (Note that repeatedly pressing the E
key will return you to the Function group.
Then press the E key to return to the Function option
Once on the desired function, use the + or key to change the function value
Press E to accept the function value
To save changes, press and hold the E key for longer than 3 sec.
Once in SAVE, choose YES or NO with the + or key
Confirm with the E key (sensor will go through a start-up routine before entering
operating mode)
Warning code 210 (W210) will appear on the display to indicate a change in
configuration (see Chapter6, Troubleshooting for further explanations of Error and
Warning codes).
ATTENTION: Changes take effect only when you choose
YES when asked to save the data.
