Dwyer A3000 User Manual
Dwyer instruments, inc, Series a3000 photohelic, Differential pressure switch/gage
INSTALLATION
1. Location: Select a clean, dry, vibration-free location where
ambient temperatures will be between 20 and 120°F (-6.67 and
48.9°C). Tubing supplying pressure to the instrument can be prac-
tically any length but long runs will increase response time slightly.
2. Position: The PHOTOHELIC
®
Switch/Gage is factory calibrated
for use with scale in a vertical plane. Operation at other angles may
affect accuracy and/or require zero adjustment. Most models can
be specially calibrated at the factory for other positions if specified
at time of ordering. Ranges below 1˝ W.C. must be used only with
scale vertical.
3. Mounting: The PHOTOHELIC
®
Switch/Gage is normally mount-
ed before making electrical connections. The electrical enclosure
is removable at any time regardless of mounting method.
(A) Panel Mounting: Normal mounting is flush or through panel
as shown in Fig. B. Allow 4-
3
/
8
˝ (111.13 mm) clearance behind the
unit for removal of electrical enclosure. Make a 4-13/16˝ (122.24
mm) diameter hole in panel. Insert the PHOTOHELIC
®
Switch/Gage unit from front of panel and slip mounting ring over
case from behind with stepped side facing rear. Fit the snap ring
into narrow groove at back edge of the bezel. Thread four 6-32 x
1-1/4˝ mounting screws into tapped holes in mounting ring and
seat it against snap ring. Tighten screws against back of panel.

The Series A3000 PHOTOHELIC
®
Switch/Gage is a versatile
2-in-1 instrument combining a time-proven Magnehelic
®
differen-
tial pressure gage with low/high pressure switches. It is designed
to measure and control positive, negative or differential pressure of
air or other non-combustible, non-corrosive gases. Gage reading
is unaffected by switch operation. Switch set points are easily
adjusted with knobs located on gage face. Applied pressure and
switch set points are fully visible at all times. Deadband is one
pointer width, less than 1% of full scale. Each set point controls a
DPDT relay and both relays can be interlocked to provide variable
deadband control.
