Series A6 Durable Pressure Switches have been specifically designed to stand
up to extended duty applications. These switches are constructed with a polyimide
ilm diaphragm and are compatible with a variety of fluids. For ease of installation,
f
the switches come with a 1/4˝ male NPT process connection and can be mounted
in any orientation. The Series A6 pressure switches are compact and have great
setpoint integrity, and feature simple, easy set-point field adjustment.
INSTALLATION/MOUNTING
The switch can be mounted in any position. Do not twist the case when installing.
