Model 7PS
Solon Model 7PS
Pressure Switch, Diaphragm Sensing Element
The Model Series 7PS Pressure Switch is designed for low pressure applications. This device employs Solon's sensitive and rugged switching mechanism. Unlike most "inline" pressure switch designs, the Solon mechanismis frictionless and amplifies the movement of a large area diaphragm. This results in improved life, repeatability, and lower deadbands. The rugged, cast aluminumhousing can be specified 7PSW, watertight; or 7PSX, explosion proof. The housing is large enough to accommodate up to four full size S.P.D.T. electric switches. These electric switches are available in a variety of configurations including adjustable switch differential (dead band), D.P.D.T., High-Low operation, and manual reset. 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. Other diaphragm and wetted area materials are available. See the Special
Features section on page 2 for other materials and other options that are useful for particular applications.
