PSW-150 Series
Differential Pressure Switches
Part Numbers: PSW-151
PSW-152
PSW-153
PSW-154
PSW-155
Please read all instructional literature carefully and thoroughly before starting.
GENERAL
BEFORE INSTALLING, CHECK THE SENSOR MODEL SELECTED FOR
COMPATIBILITY TO THE PROCESS MEDIA IN CONTACT WITH THE
SENSOR AND WETTED PARTS.
The PSW-150 Differential Pressure Switch utilizes opposing metal bellows to
detect pressure differences between two pressure sources. When the pressure
at the high port exceeds the pressure at the low port by a pre-determined
amount (set point), the mechanism operates a single snap-action electrical
switch. Control set point may be adjusted by turning the internal adjustment
hex screw (see Part II - Adjustments).
DIFFERENTIAL PROOF PRESSURE* LIMITS STATED IN THE LITERA
TURE AND ON NAMEPLATE MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED, EVEN BY
SURGES IN THE SYSTEM. OCCASIONAL OPERATION OF UNIT UP TO
DIFFERENTIAL PROOF PRESSURE IS ACCEPTABLE (E.G., START-UP,
TESTING). CONTINUOUS OPERATION SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE
DESIGNATED MAX WORKING PRESSURE.**
*Differential Proof Pressure
The maximum differential pressure to which a pressure sensor may be
occasionally subjected, which causes no permanent damage (e.g., star t-up,
testing). The unit may require calibration.
**Working Pressure
The pressure range within which two opposing sensors can be safely
operated and still maintain set point adjustability.
THESE PRODUCTS DO NOT HAVE ANY FIELD REPLACEABLE PARTS.
WIRING
DISCONNECT ALL SUPPLY CIRCUITS BEFORE WIRING UNIT. WIRE
UNITS ACCORDING TO NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZE IS 14 AWG.
ELECTRICAL RATINGS STATED IN LITERATURE AND ON NAMEPLATES
MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED; OVERLOAD ON A SWITCH CAN CAUSE
FAILURE ON THE FIRST CYCLE.
Remove the four (4) screws retaining the cover and gasket. Remove cover.
Connect conduit to the enclosure using a conduit fitting that is suitable for your
installation. Wire directly to the switch terminals in accordance with local and
national electrical codes. Bring the wires up to the terminals from the rear of
the enclosure to prevent interference with the mechanism.
Part II - Adjustments
Tools Needed
- 5/16" open end wrench
For set point adjustment and re-calibration, connect the "High" pressure por t
to a calibrated pressure source.
Set point adjustment is achieved by varying the gap between the mechanical
actuator and the plunger on the electrical switch
To raise the differential pressure setting, turn the 5/16" hex head screw left
(clockwise).
Part I - Installation
Tools Needed
- Adjustable wrenches (2)
- Phillips head screwdrive
MOUNTING
INSTALL UNIT WHERE SHOCK, VIBRATION AND TEMPERATURE
FLUCTUATIONS ARE MINIMAL. MOUNT UNIT SO THAT MOISTURE
IS PREVENTED FROM ENTERING THE ENCLOSURE. DO NOT MOUNT
UNIT IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING PUBLISHED LIMITS.
Surface mount in any position via two mounting ears. Never turn this unit by
grasping enclosure. Always hold a wrench on the bellows housing (or fitting)
when connecting pressure joints.

To lower the differential pressure setting, turn the 5/16" hex head screw right
(counter-clockwise).
