installed only by a licensed electrician who is
experienced with combustion safeguard control
systems and understands the functions of interlocking switches, such as gas pressure switches.
Prior to being put into operation in conjunction
with the combustion safeguard systems, all
switches should be tested for proper range setting
and proper wiring. Check piping connections and
switch house for leaks with a soap bubble test. All
exhaust fans and blowers should be inspected and
checked for proper rotation prior to starting up.

Model D Installation Information
Operation
Low Gas Pressure: Low gas pressure switches break
the electrical circuit on pressure drop at the point when
gas pressure becomes lower than the indicated set
pressure.
Before the manual reset latch can be properly latched,
gas pressure in the chamber must be higher than the
indicated setting. The position of the reset latch on the top
cover of the switch shows whether reset latch is in the on
or off position. Reset latch must be in “on” position after
latching to be properly set.
High Gas Pressure: High gas pressure switches break
the electrical circuit when pressure rises above the
indicated preset pressure. The reset latch should be
latched in the “on” position if the gas pressure in the
switch chamber is below the indicated high setting.
Recycle Models: High and Low Gas Pressure Recycle
models operate automatically and do not need to be
reset. Otherwise they are constructed, adjusted, and
operate in the same manner as the reset models.
Combination Models: The combination unit contains
one high pressure unit and one low pressure unit, in the
ranges you select. They may be either reset or recycle
type. Each unit has an on/off indicator and its own range
scale indicator.
Mounting
All gas pressure switches must be mounted in a horizontal
position with the inlet stem down. Switches should be
reasonably level but do not require accurate leveling.
Single gas switch models have a 1/4” NPT. gas inlet.
Double combination Hi-Lo switches have a 3/8” NPT. for high
pressure inlet and a 1/8” NPT. for low pressure inlet.
Gas vent outlets are 1/8” NPT. on all models.
Piping can be either standard black pipe or aluminum tubing.
All switches can be supported by the inlet pipe, but optional
mounting brackets are available if needed.
All switches have been factory-calibrated and tested for leaks.
However, it is recommended that after the installation is
completed, switch, gas pipe inlets, and connections be tested for
leaks with a soap bubble test.
