- INSTRUCTIONS TYPE 770-1
AIR SWITCH
WHITE-RODGERS
With SPDT Switch Action
(Responds to Positive, Negative,
or Differential Pressure)
The Type 770-1 has a SPDT switch that can be actuated by a positive pressure,
negative pressure, or a differential of pressure. These two features, plus its
field adjustable "operating range", give this control unmatched versatility on a
wide variety of applications, some of which are shown below.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
POWER HUMIDIFIERS
Switch permits unit to operate
whenever there is proper air move
ment.
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANERS
Switch permits power to cleaner
whenever blower of system is oper

NATURAL DRAFT BOILERS
Switch signals insufficient draft,
provides safety limit to stop firing
on lack of draft, starts again on
sufficient draft.
REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT

INDUCED DRAFT BOILERS
Proves operation of I.D. fan by
sampling draft or air flow.

failure.
DUCT STRIP HEATERS
Switch proves air movement across
heaters by positive pressure in front
of heater. Turns off heater to pre
vent burn-out on insufficient air
flow.
PROCESS DRYING
Switch monitors negative pressure
to stop conveyor or process, and
provides alarm signal on fan failure.
Ideal for bulk chemicals, food
processing, grain drying.
Switch responds to pressure drop
across refrigeration coils to signal
alarm condition or automatically ini
tiate or terminate defrost cycle.
GAS-FIRED UNITS
Switch proves sufficient air flow be
fore permitting gas valve to open
and ignition to occur.
FORCED DRAFT BOILERS
Proves operation of blower by
sampling positive or negative pres
sures for firing control and safety.

The SPDT switch can be actuated by a positive or negative pressure, or by a
differential of pressure. This control is ideally suited for residential applica
tions such as Electronic Air Cleaners and Humidifiers, but it is equally well
suited for commercial installations, including applications where alarm circuits
