PSW-180 INDUSTRIAL DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SWITCH or ALARM

The PSW-180 Series differential pressure switch offers a blend of small size, excellent performance and environmental protection. The PSW-180 is available with switch contacts or as an audible alarm. The PSW-180 differential pressure switch utilizes dual diaphragm sensors to monitor the difference in pressure between two sources.

PSW-180 INDUSTRIAL DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SWITCH or ALARM

The PSW-180 is a compact, industrial differential pressure switch or alarm designed for precise monitoring in harsh environments, featuring a durable NEMA-4X (IP65) enclosure and a 5A SPDT relay output. It offers reliable performance with ±1% repeatability and can be configured with either electrical switch contacts or a loud, battery-powered audible alarm. The unit can be specified with different materials, pressure ports, and measurement ranges, and its set point is adjustable externally.

Key features
Function: Measures the pressure difference between two points and can trigger either an electrical switch or an audible alarm.
Output: 5 A SPDT (Single-Pole Double-Throw) relay output or an internal 85 dB audible alarm powered by a 9V battery.
Durability: Housed in a weather-resistant NEMA-4X enclosure, suitable for industrial applications.
Performance: Offers ±1% repeatability and is rated for working pressures up to 150 psid.
Adjustability: Features an externally accessible, multi-turn screw for easy set point adjustment.
Pressure ports: Available with 1/4 NPTF brass or 1/4 NPSF polysulfone pressure ports.
Operating conditions: The switch is rated for operating temperatures between 0°C and 70°C (32°F to 158°F), with a maximum media temperature of 95°C (203°F) at 100 psi.
Applications

  • Monitoring pressure drop across filters and strainers
  • Controlling fan speeds or VAV systems
  • General pressure monitoring in industrial processes
