Single Pressure Switches
 



Series A1S


Series A1B


Low Cost and Precision Made. The A1 Pressure Control provides the flexibility required for industrial applications. The A1 pressure switch is ideal for panel mounting wherever a high quality economical open case control is required. Optional weatherproof housing meets NEMA 4X standards. Superior 15 A contact allows direct control of a motor or pump without the use of external relays - a true time and money savings. Unique features include broad temperature limits for increased application possibilities and convenient indicating scale for quick and easy field adjustment. The rugged A1S construction incorporates the feature most often requested by customers; a 316 SS diaphragm pressure element for exceptional compatibility and long service life. The A1B construction offers a lower cost Buna-N diaphragm for those applications not requiring 316 SS. Pressure chambers available are: aluminum with PTFE impregnated hard coating perfect for oil based hydraulic fluids and non corrosive air and gases, brass for water and water based fluids, and 316 SS for harsher applications. Optional hermetically sealed snap switches are available for harsh environments.

OP enclosure and mounting configuration offers a unit that can be directly mounted through the panel wall keeping the process outside of the panel. Unit has a flush bottom and includes a gasket and mounting nut to insure a tight weatherproof seal against the panel.
