Snap Action Switches
for Low Range Differential Pressure Control
INTRODUCTION
The Ashcroft differential pressure switch is a precision built con-
trol device which features a mechanical snap action switch.
Controllers are available for operation on various pressure differ-
entials with fixed or variable switching differentials. Also, manual
reset types are available for operation on increasing or decreas-
ing pressure. The manual reset types remain trlpped until reset
by pressing a button on the top of the enclosure. The standard
electrical switch Is SPDT and is available with various electrical
characteristics. Two SPDT switch elements mounted together
are available except on variable deadband and manual reset
types. Various wetted material constructions for compatibility
with a wide range of pressure media maybe obtained.
The Ashcroft snap action differentiaI pressure switch is fur-
nished in the standard NEMA 4 and explosion proof NEMA 7
and 9 enclosure styles. Both enclosures are epoxy coated
aluminum castings.
All D400 Series controls with the suffix XG5 as part of their
catalog number are Underwriters Laboratories listed for gas and
oil service. Any control so marked has a pressure limit of 5.4 psi
on both the high and low side. Controls marked XG5HX are
constructed to increase the pressure limit to 40 psi.
