Series H2 Dual-Action Explosion-Proof Pressure Switches
1/4 NPT PRESSURE CONNECTION
Specications - Installation and Operating Instructions
Bulletin F-64
Accurate, dependable long-lived operation results from the built-in quality of Duotect®
pressure switches. They are designed for sequencing work where two different actions
are to be triggered, as pressure of a liquid or gas increases or decreases. This permits
control and protection of many types of equipment and systems subject to pressure
variations. The patented design consists of two pistons in a concentric arrangement,
operated by a single diaphragm with one pressure chamber. Each piston actuates a
separate switch independent of the other. The switches may be adjusted to operate
together, or at opposite ends of the range, or at any two intermediate setpoints. They
can be easily eld adjusted. For quick maintenance, the threaded top is removed to
adjust or service switches without disturbing electrical or pressure connections. The
controls are UL and CSA Listed as Explosion Proof, Class I, Groups B, C, D. Class II
groups E, F & G, and weatherproof NEMA-4.

proof Class I, Groups A, B, C, & D; Class II, Groups E, F, & G; Weatherproof, NEMA4X. Contacts rated 10 amp @ 125/250 VAC, 5 amps @ 30 VDC.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
The #1 pressure adjustment (see Figure 1) is for the high range of the switch. The #2
adjustment is for the low range. Due to the conguration of the concentric pistons, the
#1 setting must always be the higher of the two.
To adjust the switch, connect it to a source of controlled pressure such as a hand pump
or a regulated uid supply.
1. Set the high range switch #1 by screwing the elastic stop nut up or down as
required to obtain switch actuation at the desired pressure. Be sure to set the
switch with the pressure moving in the proper direction: that is, switch actuation
on an increasing pressure or on a decreasing pressure as required by the
application.
2. Set the low range switch #2 in the same manner.
Note: The 4-40 micro switch adjustment screws are factory set and should not be
changed.
