Dwyer DX - Manual

The Series DX is a pressure switch that makes a contact output based on the
differential pressure between two pressure sources. Unit incorporates a SPDT
snap switch in a weatherproof, type 4X enclosure. Series DX features low
differential pressure set points with high single pressure limit.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The DX uses opposing diaphragms to sense the high and low pressure. A pivot
mechanism transfers the difference of the two pressures to the switch.
