General Service & Explosion Proof Pressure Switches
 Pressure switches
monitor line pressure and can activate an external alarm (not supplied) when a certain predetermined pressure is reached. They can be set to activate on
either increasing or decreasing pressure.
Pressure switches are commonly used with cylinder manifolds to warn against product depletion. For example, a switch set to activate on decreasing pressure
can alert the user that manifold pressure is low and that a cylinder changeout is required.
Two models of pressure switches are available; a general service version for nonflammable gases, and an explosion-proof version for flammable gases
or Oxygen. The explosion-proof model is UL listed and CSA certified for use in hazardous locations Class I Groups A, B, C, D and Class II Groups E, F,
G. Each model has a single-pole, double throw, electrical switch with a maximum rating of 15 amps at 250 VAC. Their weather tight housings are constructed
of aluminum.
Pressure switches are supplied with two compression-type male connectors and five feet of stainless steel tubing for connection to a manifold or pipeline.
