Mite Series 70/71/73/74/85 - Snap-acting, Pneumatic Relays

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Mite Series of pneumatic relays are compact, rugged, and precise devices designed for high-density applications in industries such as petroleum, chemical, gas-field, and pharmaceuticals. These relays are engineered to provide precise control of air or gas services, making decisions with crisp precision cycle after cycle.

Specifications
The Mite Series includes models 70, 71L/71H, 73, 74, and 85, each with specific features and applications. All models are constructed from materials like aluminum, plated steel, neoprene, brass, and stainless steel, ensuring durability and reliability. The pressure rating varies between 100 psig and 120 psig, with temperature limits from -40°F to +180°F. Port sizes are tapped for 1/4” NPT with 1/8” internal ports.

Model Descriptions
  • Mite 70: A snap-acting control relay with a manual reset, capable of locking up or venting control pressure to a valve when tripped. It is adjustable from 1 to 100 psi and can be tripped on demand from a remote signal.
  • Super Mite 71L/71H: A high pass or low pass pneumatic selecting relay that automatically selects the higher or lower of two input signals. It can be converted in the field from high to low pass and vice versa.
  • Mite 73: Similar to the Mite 70, it accepts up to four inputs and can be reset automatically. It features a sensitive line monitoring diaphragm for enhanced versatility.
  • Mite 74: Combines the Mite 70 control relay with a precision 2-way or 3-way valve, allowing for flexible air channeling based on signal changes.
  • Mite 85: A snap-acting 3-way valve with two trip points, designed to switch to a secondary controller if the primary system fails.

Applications
The Mite Series relays are used in various applications, such as actuating on-off valves when a controller signal reaches a set point, closing valves when signals drop, and setting pneumatic pressure limits within a control signal range. They are ideal for critical safety and emergency process controls.

Warranty
ControlAir, Inc. provides an eighteen-month warranty for their products, covering defects in materials and workmanship, provided the products are used according to recommended usages. The warranty includes repair, purchase price refund, or replacement at ControlAir's discretion.

Mite Series 70/71/73/74/85 - Snap-acting, Pneumatic Relays-3

The Mite 73 is similar in design and function to the Mite 70. A sensitive line monitoring diaphragm and up to four inputs allow even more versatility. When tripped by either an increasing or decreasing signal, one output is vented to atmosphere while the other is locked up. The Mite 73 can be tripped by remote and is also capable of being reset pneumatically for fully automated control. The Mite 74 combines the Mite 70 control relay with a precision 2-way or 3-way valve in a single compact package. Either an increasing, decreasing or remote signal can be used to channel air as needed. The Mite...

Mite Series 70/71/73/74/85 - Snap-acting, Pneumatic Relays-4

The Mite 85 allows you to establish two adjustable trip points that control flow through a 3-way valve. An increasing signal that exceeds the high trip point will open “I” port to “H”. A decreasing signal pressure that drops below the low trip point will block "I" and vent port “H”. This switching action is reversible and repeatable without having to manually reset. Use the Mite 85 to passively switch to a secondary controller in case the primary system fails.
