Solon Model 5PS
Pressure Switch, Diaphragm Sensing Element

The Model Series 5PS Pressure Switch features a rugged cast aluminum housing and cover incorporating Solon's standard "frictionless" switching mechanism
actuated by a diaphragm. Either one or two S.P.D.T. electric switch/s are available in a variety of configurations. Some of these configurations are:
- Tandem settings for D.P.D.T. operation.
- Independent adjustment for High-Low operation.
- Adjustable switch differential (dead band).
- Manual reset on either increasing or decreasing pressure.
In addition many switching configurations can be supplied with electric switches that have:
- Low switch differentials (dead band).
- High direct current ratings.
- Gold contacts
- Hermetically sealed contacts.
The standard pressure-sensing element uses a strong Buna N elastomer diaphragm. The standard housing is NEMA 4X, 12 and 13.
