■ Combination Pressure Swichgage instru-
ment and Built-in Electromagnetic Switch
■ High and Low Contacts Can Disable
Engine’s Ignition Due to Critical Pressure
■ Magnetic Switch Will Not Allow Engine
Restart Due to Flywheel Inertia
■ Semi-Automatic Low Pressure Override
Push Button for Engine Startup
Description
The 45 Series pressure Swichgage instrument
incorporates a built-in electromagnetic switch
to disable an ignition whenever the gage con-
tacts operate.
Flywheel inertia cannot restart the engine since
the electromagnetic switch will not allow the
ignition to operate until manually reset.
A semi-automatic lockout push button over-
rides the low pressure contact for equipment
startup. The lockout automatically disengages
when pressure is established allowing the low
limit contact to be armed for operation should a
low pressure condition occur.
Models are available for conventional magnetos,
capacitor discharge (CD) ignitions, 12/32 VDC
battery systems, and 120 VAC power sources.
Ranges are available from 30”vac (-101 kPa)
[-1.01 bar] thru 10,000 psi (138 MPa) [1379 bar].
Applications
Recommended instrument for most field gath-
ering pumps, the 45 Series instantly stops your
pump when pressures drop due to line breaks,
leaks or when your tank is pumped out.
Overpressure shutdown can occur due to clo-
sure of valves in the line, or other line
restrictions.
