 Series DX
Wet/Wet Differential Pressure Switch
NEMA 4X Enclosure, Low Differential Set Points
 
The Series DX is a differential pressure switch that makes a contact output based on the differential between two pressure sources. Wetted materials of brass and flouroelastomer are suitable for use with most gases and water based solutions. The switch can be used for low differential pressure indication with set point on a decrease of pressure as low as 1 psid (0.07 bar). Differential set point ranges are available from 2.5 to 75 psid (0.17 to 5.17 bar) on increasing differential pressure and 1.0 to 67 psid (0.07 to 4.62 bar) on decreasing differential pressure. Unit features a high static pressure rating of 200 psig (13.8 bar) for higher static pressure applications. Standard is a weatherproof, UL type 4X, enclosure for dust laden, outdoor, or wash-down installation environments. Series DX incorporates an externally adjustable set point, integral mounting flange and a removable electrical terminal block for quick and easy installation. The DX uses opposing diaphragms to sense the high and low pressure with a pivot mechanism that transfers the difference of the two pressures to the SPDT switch.

 Series 1831
DPDT Low Differential Pressure Switch
Manual Reset, No Power Required
 
One of our most popular differential pressure switches is now available with a DPDT switch and manual reset. The 1831 combines small size with 4% set point repeatability. Absolutely no power is required to operate the DPDT switch. Set point adjustment on the switch is easily accessible for modifying the set point.
 
The Series 1831 DPDT Low Differential Pressure Switches with Manual Reset eliminate common problems associated with typical high duct static cutout installations. Since the 1831 requires absolutely no power to drive its outputs, a separate power loop and its associated additional wiring and conduit is alleviated, reducing material and labor installation costs. Both control contacts of the Series 1831 activate at the same time. The potential of the lead switch shutting down the fan preventing the lag switch from sending an alarming signal to the DDC is no longer a probable system liability. Potential costly maintenance calls are diminished. Unlike typical switches that posses only a single conduit entry for both control loops, the Series 1831 provides two conduit connections simplifying wiring while eliminating additional conduit tees. The Series 1831's specifications and features make it the superior choice for high duct static cutout applications.

 Series PG
Gas Pressure/Differential Pressure Switch
External Adjustment, Visible Dial, Hermetically Sealed Snap or Mercury Switch
 
Large sensitive diaphragm and reliable, time proven mechanical design are combined in Series PG pressure/differential pressure switches. For use with air and other compatible gases, they feature excellent ±1% of full scale repeatability, clear easy-to-read scale and convenient external setpoint adjustment.
 
Application flexibility is assured by a large variety of switching options including SPST, SPDT, DPST and DPDT; opening or closing on increasing pressure, vacuum or differential. PR and PRL models add manual reset operation on increasing or decreasing pressure. Mercury switches or hermetically sealed snap switches are available where high humidity would be a problem. If vibration or other factors preclude the use of mercury, snap switches can be provided. Standard housing is NEMA 1. Optional enclosures can be supplied for weather resistant and explosion-proof requirements.

 Series DP
Double Bellows Differential Pressure Switch
Visible Setpoints, Adjustable or Fixed Deadband . . . High Pressure Ranges
 
Two opposing bellows in the Model DP differential pressure switch result in maximum sensitivity, quick response to changes and good vibration resistance. Choice of brass or 316 stainless steel assures broad media compatibility. Setpoint adjustment is easy thanks to external knobs and large, clear scale reading directly in psid.
 
A wide variety of switches and circuit styles enables exactly the specific type of control function needed for any system. Mercury switches are a good choice for humid areas while snap switches are better able to resist vibration. Various operations possible include single adjustment - fixed deadband, double adjustment - adjustable deadband, manual reset (increasing or decreasing pressure) and two stage with each SPST or SPDT switch independently adjustable. Standard enclosure is NEMA-1 style. Optional weatherproof construction is for outdoor use and explosion-proof enclosure meets requirements for Class I, Groups C & D; Class II, Groups E, F & G.

 Series 1950G
Explosion-proof Differential Pressure Switch
Explosion-proof, Weatherproof, Compatible with Natural Gases
 
The Model 1950G Explosion-Proof Switch combines the best features of the popular Dwyer® Series 1950 Pressure Switch with the benefit of natural gas compatibility. Units are rain-tight for outdoor installations, and are UL listed for use in Class I, Groups A, B, C, & D; Class II, Groups E, F, & G and Class III atmospheres, Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) Compliant for CE ATEX II 2G Exd IIB+H2 T6, CSA & FM approved for Class I, Div. 1, Groups B, C, D; Class II, Div. 1, Groups E, F, G and Class III atmospheres IECEx Ex d IIB+H2 T6 (-40°C < Ta < +60°C). The 1950G is very compact, about half the weight and bulk of equivalent conventional explosion-proof switches.
 
Easy access to the SPDT relay and power supply terminals is provided by removing the top plate of the aluminum housing. A supply voltage of 24 VDC, 120 or 240 VAC is required. A captive screw allows the cover to swing aside while remaining attached to the unit. Adjustment to the set point of the switch can be made without disassembly of the housing.

 Series H3
Explosion-Proof Differential Pressure Switch
Setpoints from 10" w.c. to 200 psid – Rated 1500 psig, Weatherproof
 
Explosion-proof, heavy duty, industrial unit has a unique new design which provides sensitivity to differential pressures as low as 10 inches of water (254 mm w.c.), yet handles total pressure of 1500 psi (103 bar). Unlike common differential pressure switches that use a piston-type motion transfer, the Series H3 utilizes a rotary motion transfer shaft that prevents a change in total pressure from causing a setpoint shift. Unit yields deadbands approximately 5% of range, with zero setpoint shift due to variation in working pressures. Friction is minimized and repeatability increased by allowing range spring to act directly on diaphragm plate. Rolling diaphragm design maintains constant effective area to further reduce friction. Diaphragm is allowed to "seat", allowing application of full rated pressure, up to 1500 psi (103 bar), on either high or low pressure port, without damage. Special over-travel feature prevents overtightening of range adjust screw. Choose optional 316SS chamber for water and water-based fluids or harsher applications.

 Series 1950
Explosion-proof Differential Pressure Switch
Compact, Low Cost, Explosion-proof and Weatherproof
 
Model 1950 Explosion-proof Differential Pressure Switch combines the best features of the popular Dwyer® Series 1900 Pressure Switch with an integral explosion-proof and weatherproof housing, making it an exceptional value for either application. It is CE, UL and CSA listed, FM approved for use in Class I, Div 1, Groups C and D, Class II Groups E, F, and G and Class III hazardous atmospheres NEMA 7 & 9. Raintight NEMA 3 (IP54). Weatherproof features include a drain plug and O-ring seal in cover. Electrical connections are easily made by removing front cover. For convenience the set point adjustment screw is located on the outside of the housing. Twelve models offer set points from .03 to 20" w.c. (7.5 to 5 kPa) and from .5 to 60 psi (0.035 to 3.5 bar). The unit is very light and compact - about half the weight and bulk of other explosion-proof or weatherproof switches with separate enclosures.
 
CAUTION: For use only with air or compatible gases. Applications with hazardous atmospheres and a single positive pressure may require special venting.
