  • Pressure Range: Capable of handling static pressure up to 15 bar (200 psi), with ranges down to +/- 0.6 mbar.
  • Adjustability: Features a tamperproof adjuster for set point adjustments over the entire range.
  • Protection: Available in weatherproof and flameproof models, certified to ATEX and IECEx standards.
  • Enclosure: Offers IP66 protection with various material and finish options.
  • Electrical Ratings: Multiple configurations available, detailed in specific tables.
Applications: These switches are suitable for corrosive atmospheres and resistant to chemical attacks, ideal for industries like oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, refining, power, and food.
Enclosure Options:
  • Weatherproof: Made from zinc alloy or austenitic stainless steel with NEMA 4/IP66 protection.
  • Flameproof: Constructed from aluminium-silicon alloy or grey iron, certified for Zone 1 hazardous areas.
  • EExn Enclosures: Designed for Zone 2, with limited switching facilities.
Performance Characteristics:
  • Accuracy: Set point repeatability of ±1% of span at 20°C, with scale accuracy of ±3% of full scale.
  • Temperature Range: Operates between -25°C to +60°C ambient temperature.
  • Process Temperature: Components can withstand up to +60°C, with higher temperature models available.
Electrical Connections: Features a non-pinching terminal block for cables up to 2.5mm², with internal and external earthing provisions.
Safety and Compliance: Certified to CENELEC and IEC standards for hazardous areas, with some models offering intrinsic safety features.
Electrical Specifications: Includes a 500V insulation between live parts and earth/ground, and 1.2kV for certain micro switch codes as detailed in Table 6. Electrical entry options are standard as per Table 3, with adaptability for other threads via adaptors. Dual entry is available for some enclosures.
