On models supplied with an external manual reset button, be sure to
leave sufficient finger space over the reset button for the operator to
reset the control.
WIRING
DISCONNECT ALL SUPPLY CIRCUITS BEFORE
WIRING.
ELECTRICAL RATINGS STATED IN LITERATURE AND ON
NAMEPLATES SHOULD NEVER BE EXCEEDED. OVERLOAD
ON A SWITCH CAN CAUSE FAILURE ON THE FIRST CYCLE.
WIRE UNITS ACCORDING TO NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZE IS14
AWG.
Remove the two screws retaining the cover and cover gasket. Two
cast-in knockouts for 1/2” conduit are located on the side and back
of enclosure. These can easily be knocked out by placing the blade
of a screwdriver in the groove and rapping sharply with a hammer. A
1/2” NPT conduit connection is also provided on the left hand side
of the enclosure. The three switch terminals are clearly labeled “common”, “normally open” and “normally closed”. For switches
supplied with leadwires, the following color coding applies:
Grounding screw and clamp (cast in symbol) is provided. Keep the
wire as short as possible to prevent interface with the plunger and
the adjustable differential switch wheel, if applicable.
GENERAL
The PSW-104, 105, 107-118, 120-125, 127-133, 135-139
pressure switches are activated when bellows, diaphragm or
piston sensor responds to a pressure change. This response, at
a pre-determined set point, actuates a single snap-acting
switch, converting the pressure signal into an electrical signal.
Control set point may be varied by turning the internal adjustment hex. (See Adjustment -PART II).
Tools Needed
Adjustable Wrench
Screwdriver
Hammer (for alternate wire knockouts)
MOUNTING
INSTALL UNIT WHERE SHOCK, VIBRATION AND TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS ARE MINIMAL. ORIENT
UNIT SO THAT MOISTURE IS PREVENTED FROM
ENTERING THE ENCLOSURE. IF UNIT IS BEING INSTALLED
WHERE HEAVY CONDENSATION IS EXPECTED, VERTICAL
MOUNTING (PRESSURE CONNECTION DOWN) IS REQUIRED.
DO NOT MOUNT IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING
PUBLISHED LIMITS.
Controls may be mounted and operated in any position. They
may be surface mounted via the two mounting ears on either
side of the enclosure, or directly to a rigid pipe by using the
pressure connection. Should the control be installed where
condensation is expected, vertical mounting is recommended
as a means of keeping water away from switch terminals.
Never use the enclosure for leverage to hand tighten the pressure connection. Always use a wrench to tighten the pressure
connection to the pipe.To prevent damaging the pressure sensor, use a back-up wrench to hold the hex nut in place when
surface mounting.

3. Insert insulator and replacement switch. Orient
switch plunger over the adjustment screw; tighten
switch mounting screws securely.
Gapping
Turn 5/8” hex adjustment screw in approximately
mid range. This puts a load on the plunger sensor.
Using a 1/4” wrench on the plunger and a 3/16”
wrench on the plunger hex screw, turn hex screw
out from plunger until switch actuates. (If switch is
already actuated proceed to the next step.) Turn
plunger hex screws in, until switch just transfers.
Turn hex screw in a additional 2 - 2 1/2 flats from
this point (approximately 1/3 turn). This will provide
a 9-11 Mil gap. Follow set point adjustment procedure.
4. Check set point according to PART II.
5. Connect wires and replace cover securely.
Tools Needed
5/8” Open End Wrench
SOME MODELS HAVE A TWO-PIECE, ADJUSTABLE
PLUNGER. THIS FEATURE IS CHARACTERIZED BY A
3/16” HEX HEAD SCREW INSTALLED IN THE 1/4”
HEX PLUNGER. THE LENGTH OF THIS ASSEMBLY IS
ADJUSTED AT OUR FACTORY AND IS CRITICAL TO THE
FUNCTION OF THE CONTROL.
DURING NORMAL CALIBRATION, THIS ADJUSTMENT
SHOULD NOT BE DISTURBED. HOWEVER, WHEN
REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL SWITCH, IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE PLUNGER LENGTH IN ORDER
TO “RE-GAP” THE SWITCH. REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS IN
“PART III-REPLACEMENTS” TO DETERMINE IF REGAPPING
IS NECESSARY.
For set point adjustments and recalibration, connect control
to a calibrated pressure source.
PSW-100, 130
Remove pressure switch cover. Adjust set point by turning
5/8” hex adjustment screw clockwise (in) to raise set point,
or counter clockwise (out) to lower set point. Tension on
adjustment screw can be increased by tightening adjustment
lock onto it. Controls include uncalibrated reference scales
for high, low or mid range settings.
Tools Needed
Screwdriver
Adjustable Wrench
USE ONLY FACTORY AUTHORIZED REPLACEMENT
PARTS AND PROCEDURES. COMPONENTS AVAIL-
ABLE FOR REPLACEMENT ARE THE SWITCHES.
OTHER COMPONENTS FACTORY REPLACEABLE ONLY.
DISCONNECT LIVE CIRCUITS BEFORE REPLACING THE
SWITCH.
Switch Replacement (all models)
1. Disconnect lead wires from the terminals.
2. Remove switch mounting screws (2) and take out
the switch and insulator.
