Electrical

  • Diaphragm material can be selected for the operating medium, temperature range, and other parameters
  • Actuation point can be moderately adjusted by the designer
  • Designed for low current and logic applications ( LED indicators, solid state relays)
  • 10 to 20mA loads ensure reliable switching (Varistor or R-C snubber recommended for inductive loads)
  • Heavier loads require the use of interface devices such as solid state relays
  • Features an integral triac

Leakage

  • The diaphragm functions as both sensor and seal
  • Dynamic applications, the diaphragm provides an adequate seal
  • Static applications, a secondary internal gasket will ensure a near bubble tight seal

Reviews

This item does not work as advertised. The switch opens at 60 MPH and does not close again until 40MPH. The adjustment screw did not correct the problem.
