→ Series A3000 Photohelic ® Pressure Switch/Gage

Gage reading is continuous and unaffected by switch operation, even during loss of electrical power. Choose from full scale pressure ranges from a low 0-.25″ (0-6 mm) w.c. up to 30 psi (21 bar); single positive pressure to 6000 psig (413 bar).

Photohelic Sensing – How It Works
In typical applications, these Dwyer switch/gages control between high and low pressure set points. When pressure changes, reaching either set point pressure, the infrared light to the limiting phototransistor is cut off by the helix-driven light shutter. The resulting phototransistor signal is electronically amplified to actuate its DPDT slave relay and switching occurs. Dead band between make and break is 1% of full scale or less – just enough to assure positive, chatter-free operation.

Relay-Transformer Features
A plastic housing protects all electronic components. Solid-state and integrated circuit electronics are on glass-epoxy printed circuit boards and self-extinguishing terminal boards.
