Pressure switch
Type CS
For air compressors and water boosters
CS pressure switches have a built-in pressure operated, three-pole switch. The contact position of which depends on the pressure in the connector and the range setting and adjustable differential.
The pressure switches are fitted with a manual switch that will lock the contact system in the open position independently of the pressure in the system. Pressure switches with relief valve is used in compressed air systems where pressure relief on the compressor piston before start is required.
The CS is suited for automatic start and stop of air compressors and water boosters.
Features:
• Pressure ranges 2 – 20 bar
• Pressure connection G ½ or G ¼
• Contact system 3-pole (TPST) as standard available also as an accessory
• Adjustable differential
• Relief valve as accessory
• Manual switch to lock the contact system
• Enclosure IP43 or IP55
• Special versions with pressure connection made of polyacetal suitable in drinking water applications

The pressure switch is built up of the following main elements: connector, diaphragm, snap system, main spring, differential spring and a 3-pole or one-pole contact system. The stop pressure must be set on the main spring and the difference between start and stop pressures on the differential spring.
Pressure from the controlled system is led, via the connector, to the diaphragm. The diaphragm converts this pressure to a mechanical movement which is transferred by the snap system to the contact system. In this way, the contact system starts or stops a compressor/pump.
