The pressure sensing elements are a pair of force-balanced,
piston-actuated assemblies sealed by flexible diaphragms and o-rings
that are static. The only wetted parts in this arrangement are the single
pressure port, two sensing assembly diaphragms and o-rings.
Media pressure on the area of the pistons counteracts the force of
the range spring (adjustable by the adjusting nuts),
which moves the piston shafts only a few
thousandths of an inch to directly actuate
the electrical snap-action switching elements.

Installation
Dual Hi-Lo Pressure Switches may be secured to bulkheads, panels or pipe stanchions with
suitable bolts. When mounting the pressure switch to an irregular or uneven flat surface,
install rubber washers on the mounting bolts between the housing and the mounting surface.
Failure to place washers between the housing and the mounting surface may
result in torsional forces on the housing that could cause false trips or render
the pressure switch inoperative.
Failure to mount the housing on a fl at mounting surface may result in
torsional forces on the housing that could cause false trips or render the
pressure switch inoperative.
