3000 MRS
Photohelic®Differential Pressure Switch/Gage
Specifications — Installation and Operating Instructions
Using solid state technology, the Series 3000MRS Photohelic
switch/gage
able differential pressure switch with a large easy-to-read analog
pressure gage employing the durable, time-proven Magnehelic
design. Switch setting is easy to adjust with large external knobs
on the gage face. Gage reading is unaffected by switch operation
— will indicate accurately even if power is interrupted. Solid state
design now results in greatly reduced size and weight. Units can
be flush mounted in 4
hardware supplied. For applications requiring high cycle rates,
choose 3000MRS models with SPST (N.O.) solid state relays. All
models provide both low and high limit control and include 18inch (45 cm) cable assemblies for electrical connections.
Gage accuracy is ±2% of full scale and switch repeatability is
±1%. Switch deadband is one pointer width — less than 1% of full
scale. Compatible with air and other non-combustible, non-corrosive gases, they can be used in systems with pressures to 25 psig
(1.725 bar). Optional construction is available for use to either
35 psig (2.42 bar) or 80 psig (5.51 bar).

Electrical connections are made by means of the cable assembly
supplied which has a multi-pin female plug installed on one end
which mates with the male connector on the rear of the gage. Wire
leads on the opposite end of the assembly are connected in
accordance with the drawing and chart to the right.

1. LOCATION: Select a location where the temperature of the unit will be between 20°F and 120°F. The
tubing feeding pressure to the instrument can be
run practically any length required but long lengths
will increase response time slightly. Avoid surfaces
with excessive vibration.
2. POSITION: All standard models are calibrated with
the diaphragm vertical and should be used in that
position for maximum accuracy. If your application
requires mounting in other than a vertical position,
be sure to specify this when ordering.
4. MOUNTING: The Photohelic®Switch/Gage may
be either panel mounted or surface mounted.
3. PRESSURE CONNECTIONS: For convenience,
two sets of 1/8˝ female NPT ports are available. Plug
the unused set with pipe plugs provided. Attach
tubing from positive pressure sour ce to port marked
"HI" or from negative (Vacuum) source to port
marked "LOW". In either case, opposite port must
be vented to atmosphere. In dusty environments,
we recommend use of an A-331 Filter Vent Plug to
keep interior of instrument clean. For differential
pressures the higher source is connected to the "HI"
port and lower to the "LOW" port.

A. PANEL MOUNTING: Cut a 4-3/4˝ or 120mm dia.
hole in panel and insert the complete unit from the
front. Slip on the mounting ring and install the split
snap ring in the groove on the bezel. Seat the mounting ring against the snap ring and thread the four
screws through the tapped holes. Tighten screws
against rear of panel.
B. SURFACE MOUNTING:Drill (3) 3/16˝ dia. holes for
mounting screws and (1) 7/8˝ dia. hole for wire assembly as shown in hole location drawing. Insert screws
from rear of panel and thread into tapped holes on
back of Photohelic
®
Switch/Gage case. If rear pressure
connections are to be used, make 1/2˝ dia. holes located as shown in hole location drawing in left column.
Once Photohelic
®
Switch/Gage unit is securely mounted, plug wire assembly into 7 pin connector on rear of
unit, being careful to match pin locations.
5. ZEROING: Once the Photohelic
®
Switch/Gage is
mounted in its final position, check to be sure pointer aligns with zero on scale, when no pressure is
applied and both low and high pressure ports are
vented to atmosphere. To adjust, turn small slotted
screw at center-bottom of gage face.
