Series A6 Durable Pressure Switches have been specifically designed to stand
up to extended duty applications. These switches are constructed with a polyimide
film diaphragm and are compatible with a variety of fluids. For ease of installation,
the switches come with a 1/4˝ male NPT process connection and can be mounted
in any orientation. The Series A6 pressure switches are compact and have great
setpoint integrity, and feature simple, easy set-point field adjustment.
INSTALLATION/MOUNTING
The switch can be mounted in any position. Do not twist the case when installing.

WIRING
All wiring must conform to the National Electrical Code and local regulations. Do
not install the control to handle loads in excess of the electrical rating shown in
the specifications. The terminals are labeled on the switch itself.
MAINTENANCE
Upon final installation of the Series A6 Durable Pressure Switch, no routine
maintenance is required. A periodic check of the system calibration is
recommended. The Series A6 is not field serviceable and should be returned if
repair is needed (field repair should not be attempted and may void warranty). Be
sure to include a brief description of the problem plus any relevant application
notes. Contact customer service to receive a return good authorization number
before shipping.
No lubrication or periodic servicing is required. Mount the
control securely. Never exceed the electrical rating for the
switch. Use the control only with compatible medias.
CAUTION
SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT
Setpoint is field adjustable within the range. In order to adjust setpoint remove
black plastic cover to expose the setpoint adjustment screw as indicated in the
figure below. Adjust top screw to change setpoint. Clockwise to increase setpoint
and counterclockwise to decrease setpoint.
