INTRODUCTION

The OMEGA differential pressure switch is a
precision built U.L. approved control device
which features a mechanical snap action switch.
Controllers are available for operation on vari­ous pressure differentials with fixed or variable
switching differentials. The standard electrical
switch is SPDT and is available with various
electrical characteristics.

Two SPDT switch elements mounted together
are available. Various wetted material construc­tions for compatibility with a wide range of
pressure media may be obtained.

The snap action differential pressure switch is
furnished in the standard NEMA 4/4X and explo­sion proof NEMA 7 and 9 enclosure styles. Both
enclosures are epoxy coated aluminum castings.

INSTALLATION

These controls are precision instruments and
should never be left with internal components
exposed. During installation insure that covers
are in place and conduit openings are closed
except when actually working on the control.

MOUNTING DSW490 AND DSW790 SERIES

There are three holes external to the enclosure
for surface mounting. Location of these holes is
shown on the general dimension drawing. They
may also be mounted directly on pressure line
using the pressure connections.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Remove cover
DSW490 Series – two screws hold cover to
enclosure
DSW790 Series – cover unscrews

CONDUIT CONNECTIONS

Note – It is recommended that Teflon®tape or
other sealant be used on conduit, bushing or
plug threads to ensure integrity of the enclosure.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE

DSW490B AND DSW490B SERIES

OMEGA®SNAP ACTION SWITCHES

FOR DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE CONTROL

DSW490 series standard – one 3⁄

4 NPT conduit

hole right side.

DSW790 series standard – two

3

⁄

4 NPT conduit

holes with one permanent plug. NEMA 7 & 9
enclosures require proper conduit seals and
breathers as per the National Electrical Code.

DSW490 SERIES
SPDT

– Wire directly to the switch according to

circuit requirements.

2-SPDT – Dual switching elements consist of
two SPDT switches mounted together in a
bracket. Switches are calibrated to have simul­taneous operation within 1% of range either on
increasing or decreasing pressure but not in
both directions. Wire directly to the front and
rear switch according to circuit requirements.
Leads are provided on rear switch color coded
as follows:
Common – White
Normally Closed – Red
Normally Open – Blue

When hermetically sealed switch element(s) are
supplied, the lead color coding is as follows:
Common – White
Normally Closed – Red
Normally Open – Blue

DSW790 SERIES
SPDT

– Wire directly to the switch according to

circuit requirements.

2-SPDT – Wire to front switch terminal block
(left) and rear switch terminal block (right) as
marked. Strip insulation

5

⁄

16,˝ insert in proper

terminal connector and tighten clamping screw
to secure.

ADJUSTMENT OF SETPOINT

DSW490 & DSW790 Series – A single setpoint
adjustment nut (

7

⁄

8˝) is located centrally at the

bottom on the inside of the enclosure.

For accurate setpoint calibration, mount the
switch on a calibration stand, a pump or catalog
Omega DWT 1305 deadweight gauge tester. A
suitable reference standard such as a Test Gauge
is necessary to observe convenient changes in
pressure.

A typical calibration procedure would be
as follows:

Static Working Pressure

– 300 psi

Adjustable Differential Range

– 5-200 psid

Differential SetPoint

– 150 psi above static working pressure

Simultaneously raise the high and low side pres­sure to 300 psi. Maintain the low side pressure at
300 psi. Raise the high side pressure to 450 psi to
obtain 150 psi differential.

Turn the adjustment nut until the switch
changes mode at 150 psi differential. When the
setpoint has been achieved, raise and lower the
high side pressure to ensure that the differential
setpoint is correct.

After installation of the control replace cover to
insure electrical safety and to protect internal
parts from the environment.

Note – As indicated above, adjustment of set­point is made by use of

7

⁄

8˝ nut. Precision switch

element mounting screws and bracket adjusting
screw are factory sealed and should not be
tampered with.
