Differential Pressure Switch
APPLICATION
SPECIFICATIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Honeywell differential pressure switch senses
changes in duct air pressure to confirm air movement,
providing a safeguard that airflow is present during the
operation of installed IAQ equipment, including the
TrueSTEAM Humidification System.

INSTALLATION
• Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition. This control must be installed in accordance
with the local code and regulations.
• Check ratings and descriptions given in the
Specifications section to ensure the product is suitable
for your application.
• Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
IMPORTANT
Do not install the switch in an area where temperature exceeds rating of -40F to 190F (-40C to
88C)
1. Disconnect power from the TrueSTEAM before
installing.
2. Mount the switch vertically with pressure connectors facing down, using provided self-tapping
screws to secure the switch to the duct.
IMPORTANT
Calibration accuracy requires that the switch be
mounted vertically (as pictured in Fig. 3).

3. The return duct is recommended, however the
switch can also be mounted to the supply duct.

4. Cut a 3/4-in. diameter hole in the duct within 10 feet
of the switch to ensure the provided tubing reaches
the pressure tap elbow.
5. Insert the grommet into the duct hole, then insert
the tube elbow into the grommet.
6. Connect the tubing to the elbow fitting and the other
end to the applicable pressure connection on the
switch:
a. Black connection if installed on the supply
b. Grey connection if installed on the return
IMPORTANT
With low-speed airflow or variable speed systems it is recommended to run tubing to both the
supply and return ducts.

also recommended to secure the hose to existing structures to avoid accidental disconnection.
