Product Usage Instructions

Installation

  1. Refer to the installation drawing for component identification.
  2. Ensure all wetted parts are correctly assembled as per the manual.
  3. Select the appropriate cable entry size based on your requirements.
  4. Securely mount the pressure housing in the desired location.

Range Selection
Select the range code based on the pressure requirements using the Range Selection Table provided.

Ordering Information
To order, follow the guidelines provided in the “How to Order Flameproof High Range Pressure Difference Switches” section of the manual.

FAQ

  • What is the maximum working pressure of the FC/FE High Range Pressure Difference Switches?
    The maximum working pressure is 12.0 bar (174.05 psi) for all range codes.

  • How can I achieve actuation and deactuation at the same point?
    If critical, use a separate DPDT relay with a separate power supply for its coil to achieve this.

Note:

  1. The minimum differential increases with the setpoint. The differential values mentioned in the above table are approximate maximum for FSR. The differential value will vary according to the pressure range selected and microswitch type. For actual values of differential please contact sales office.
  2. When using 2SPDT switching arrangement, both microswitches may not actuate and/or deactuate at the same point.
    A small stage gap, normally upto +/- 5% FSR (depending on range code) may be observed. The On-Off differential (hysterisis) typically tends to be atleast double of those published for 1SPDT pressure switches.
    If actuation and/or deactuation at same point is critical part of operation, then it can be achieved by using a separate  DPDT relay. This relay will need a separate power supply for it’s coil.
