GENERAL
The PSW 12 switch utilizes a diaphragm sensor to detect a pressure change. The response, at a predetermined set point, actuates
a SPDT 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 this document.
Tools Needed
1 1/16” Open end wrench
MOUNTING
ALWAYS LOCATE UNITS WHERE SHOCK, VIBRATION AND
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS ARE MINIMAL.
DO NOT MOUNT IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AREAS
EXCEEDING 203° F (IF UL/cUL APPROVAL IS APPLICABLE) OR
176°F (IF CENELEC APPROVAL IS APPLICABLE). IF SEVERE
PRESSURE SURGES ARE EXPECTED, USE SNUBBER .
MOUNT USING PRESSURE CONNECTION: ALWAYS USE
A WRENCH ON PRESSURE CONNECTION WRENCH FLAT.
UNIT MAY BE MOUNTED IN ANY POSITION. HOWEVER,
IF INSTALLATION LOCATION RESULTS IN FREQUENT
EXPOSURE TO LIQUID IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE
UNIT BE MOUNTED VERTICALLY WITH THE PRESSURE CONNECTION DOWN. IF UNIT IS TO BE SET AFTER MOUNTING, VERIFY
THAT ADJUSTMENT OPENING IS ACCESSIBLE. “FRONT” MARKING ON NAMEPLATE MUST FACE THE OPERATOR.
Please read all instructional literature carefully and thoroughly before starting.

When panel mounting, mount through 7/8” clearance hole in panel.
Hold in place with serrated 1/2” conduit nut. Always support the unit by
holding a wrench on the hex.
TO ATTACH CONDUIT CONNECTION, HOLD ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION STEADY WITH WRENCH ON HEX, THEN
THREAD ON CONDUIT.
Surface Mounting Bracket
Open the adjustment cover and orient the unit so that adjustment opening will be accessible when the switch is mounted. Close the adjustment cover ensuring that the bracket does not interfere with the cover.
Failure to do so may result in improper sealing of adjustment cover.
Mount assembly in desired location.
