DIRECT MOUNT PRESSURE SWITCH
MODEL PSB
• Limit Switch for Critical Pressure
• Operate Alarms or Shutdown Equipment
• SPDT Snap-Acting Switch
• Fits Most Engine Applications
Description
The PSB switch is a direct mount switch for critical pressure points. It has one limit contact that can be used to activate an alarm, actuate indicator lights or shutdown equipment.
The construction of this instrument is the same as our time-proven SWICHGAGE®. A precision machined brass mounting plate and port captures a high quality stamped beryllium copper diaphragm. The single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) snap-switch is operated directly from the diaphragm for quick acting and positive switching. Trip point is factory preset according to your specifications.
Housing is weather sealed to prevent entry of moisture, dust, etc. A glass-filled nylon terminal block with quick screw terminal connections gives the PSB switch a real advantage in industrial engine applications.The PSB is ideal when reading is not desired, but pressure is critical to operational efficiency.
Intended for use in general purpose non-classified areas.

Installation InstructionsMounting CAUTION: Use wrench on shank to tighten or loosen pressure connection. DO NOT TWIST CASE, which will damage the unit and void the warranty. 1. Before installing the PSB switch, apply sealant, such as Teflon tape, to the threads (be sure sealant does not block the inlet orifice). 2. The PSB can be mounted in horizontal or vertical angles (do not mount switch facing down). 3. Locate the unit in place and secure it by tightening the 1/8-27 NPT fitting into the desired location (do not over tighten). DO NOT TWIST CASE.
Wiring CAUTION: DISCONNECT Electrical power before wiring. 1. Switch contacts (below) are shown with no pressure applied to the PSB switch. 2. A spade (forked) terminal is recommended for all PSB switch connections. 3. Complete the wiring operation making sure the voltage and current requirements are within the PSB switch electrical rating (see the typical wiring diagram at right).
