Dual Hi-Lo
Pressure Switches
General Instructions
The pressure sensing elements are a pair of force-balanced,
piston-actuated assemblies sealed by flexible diaphragms and o-rings
that are static. The only wetted parts in this arrangement are the single
pressure port, two sensing assembly diaphragms and o-rings.
Media pressure on the area of the pistons counteracts the force of
the range spring (adjustable by the adjusting nuts),
which moves the piston shafts only a few

Installation
Dual Hi-Lo Pressure Switches may be secured to bulkheads, panels or pipe stanchions with
suitable bolts. When mounting the pressure switch to an irregular or uneven flat surface,
install rubber washers on the mounting bolts between the housing and the mounting surface.
Failure to place washers between the housing and the mounting surface may
result in torsional forces on the housing that could cause false trips or render
the pressure switch inoperative.
Failure to mount the housing on a at mounting surface may result in
torsional forces on the housing that could cause false trips or render the
pressure switch inoperative.
Line mounting by either the process connection or the electrical conduit connection is not
recommended.
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Installation Requirements
The SOR pressure switches have been evaluated as Type-A safety related hardware.
To meet the necessary installation requirements for the SIL system, the following
information must be utilized:
Proof Test Interval shall be one year.
Units may only be installed for use in Low Demand Mode.
Products have a HFT (Hardware Fault Tolerance) of 0, and were evaluated in a
1oo1 (one out of one) configuration.
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

Process Connection
Securely connect the process line to the pressure port using two wrenches; one to hold the
hexagonal flats on the pressure port, the other to tighten the process pipe or tube fitting.
Ensure that the process connection is tightened and positioned so that
bending and torsional forces imposed on the pressure switch are minimal. DO NOT loosen the pressure port from the body, because leakage
could result or the pressure switch could be rendered inoperative.
