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.
