Data sheet
Pressure switch
RT
RT Pressure switches incorporate a pressure
controlled, single-pole change over swich where
the contact position depends on the pressure in
the connection port and the set value.
The RT series consists of pressure switches,
differential pressure switches and pressure
switches for neutral zone regulation, all for
general use within the industrial and marine
segments. The series also covers safety pressure
switches dedicated for steam boiler plants.
For installations in which operation is particularly
critical from safety and economic points of
view, the use of fail-safe pressure switches is
recommended.
The use of gold-plated contacts is also
recommended in such installations, provided
operation involves only a few switching cycles or
signal currents and voltages.
Features • Simple design
• High accuracy
• High repeatability
• Long operation life time
• Available with all major marine approvals
• Safety Integrity Level:
SIL 2 according to IEC 61508
