GENERAL
MISUSE OF THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE EXPLOSION AND PERSONAL INJURY.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE THOROUGHLY READ AND UNDERSTOOD
BEFORE UNIT IS INSTALLED.
THIS EQUIPMENT IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS I, DIVISIONS 1 & 2, GROUPS
A, B, C AND D; CLASS II, DIVISIONS 1 & 2, GROUPS E, F AND G; CLASS III; OR
NON-HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS ONLY. -50 °C (-58 °F) ≤ Tamb. ≤ 80 °C (176
°F), ENCLOSURE TYPE 4X.

Class III
Class I, Zone 1, Group IIC
Enclosure Type 4X
Pressure: UL 508 & 1203; CSA C22.2 No. 14, 25 & 30 File # E106732
Dual Seal certified to ISA 12.27.01 (meets CEC secondary seal
requirements)
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, CHECK THE WETTED PARTS MATERIAL FOR
COMPATIBILITY TO THE PROCESS MEDIA.
THE DUAL SEAL DEVICE METHOD OF PRIMARY SEAL FAILURE ANNUNCIATION IS
VISABLE LEAKAGE FROM THE ENCLOSURE. DEPENDING UPON MEDIA SENSED,
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF LEAK DETECTION MAY BE REQUIRED.
The PSW-12 Series switch utilizes a diaphragm sensor to detect a pressure change.
The response, at a predetermined set point, actuates a SPDT or DPDT snap-acting
switch, converting a pressure signal into an electrical signal. Control set point may
be varied by turning the internal slotted adjustment screw according to procedures
outlined in Part II-Adjustments.
Date code format on enclosure is “YYWW” for year and week.
Part I - Installation
Tools Needed
1-1/6" Open end wrench
MOUNTING
ALWAYS LOCATE UNITS WHERE SHOCK, VIBRATION AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
FLUCTUATIONS ARE MINIMAL. DO NOT MOUNT IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AREAS
EXCEEDING 176°F.
IF SEVERE PRESSURE SURGES ARE EXPECTED, CONSIDER THE USE OF A
PRESSURE SNUBBER.
FOR PRESSURE MODELS, MOUNT USING PRESSURE CONNECTION: ALWAYS USE A
WRENCH ON PRESSURE CONNECTION WRENCH FLAT. (SEE FIGURE 1)
PROOF PRESSURE* LIMITS STATED WITHIN THE LITERATURE AND PRINTED
ONTO THE PRODUCT HOUSING MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED, EVEN BY
SURGES IN THE SYSTEM. OCCASIONAL OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT UP TO
PROOF PRESSURE IS ACCEPTABLE (E.G., START-UP, TESTING). CONTINUOUS
OPERATION SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE DESIGNATED OVER RANGE PRESSURE**
*Proof Pressure - the maximum pressure to which a pressure sensor may be occasionally
subjected, which causes no permanent damage (e.g., start-up testing). (May require
set-point adjustment).
**Over Range Pressure - the maximum pressure to which a pressure sensor may be
continuously subjected without causing damage maintaining set point repeatability.
THE EPOXY RESIN SHALL NOT BE SUBJECTED TO A TEMPERATURE GREATER
THAN 125°C.
THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT HAVE ANY FIELD REPLACEABLE PARTS. ANY
SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS WILL INVALIDATE THIRD-PARTY ISSUED
APPROVALS AND CERTIFICATIONS, AND MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS
I, DIVISION 1 LOCATION.

THE PRODUCT MAY BE MOUNTED IN ANY POSITION. HOWEVER, IF INSTALLATION
LOCATION RESULTS IN FREQUENT EXPOSURE TO LIQUID IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE PRODUCT BE MOUNTED VERTICALLY WITH THE PRESSURE
CONNECTION DOWN. IF PRODUCT IS TO BE SET AFTER MOUNTING, VERIFY THAT
ADJUSTMENT OPENING IS ACCESSIBLE, “FRONT” MARKING ON NAMEPLATE MUST FACE THE
OPERATOR.
Panel Mounting via 1/2” NPTM Electrical Connection
When panel mounting, mount through 7/8” clearance hole in panel. Use 1/2” conduit nut to
secure in place. Always support the product by holding a wrench on the hex.
TO ATTACH CONDUIT CONNECTION, HOLD ELECTRICAL CONNECTION STEADY WITH
WRENCH ON HEX, THEN THREAD ON CONDUIT.

WIRING
DISCONNECT ALL SUPPLY CIRCUITS BEFORE WIRING THE PRODUCT. WIRE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES. THE WIRES
SHOULD BE PROTECTED AGAINST MECHANICAL DAMAGE BY USE OF A
CONDUIT OR OTHER SUITABLE MEANS.
EXTERNAL GROUNDING SCREW (ADD -GND TO OMEGA PART NUMBER) IS
REQUIRED FOR NON-METALLIC CONDUIT SYSTEMS. (SEE FIGURE 2)
ELECTRICAL RATINGS STATED IN THE LITERATURE AND PRINTED ONTO THE
PRODUCT HOUSING MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED. OVERLOAD ON A SWITCH CAN
CAUSE FAILURE ON THE FIRST CYCLE.

Part II - Adjustments
Tools Needed
Flathead screwdriver with 3/16” or 1/4” wide blade
1. Connect control to pressure source.
2. With power disconnected, slide cover toward electrical terminations while twisting
it to overcome friction.
3. Connect power to terminals or leads.
4. Insert screwdriver into adjustment slot and turn clockwise to increasesetting or counterclock-wise to decrease setting. (See Figure 3)
For setting on RISE, apply desired pressure and turn adjustment clockwise until switch
actuates (circuit across N.O. and COM terminals closes).
For setting on FALL, apply pressure equal to normal system operating pressure.
Reduce source pressure to setpoint value. Turn adjustment counter clockwise until
switch actuates (circuit across N.C. and COM terminals closes).
