12 Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The 12 Series switches are engineered for hazardous environments, featuring 316 stainless steel construction, hermetically sealed micro-switches, and vibration resistance due to the Belleville spring assembly. They are globally applicable with UL, cUL, ATEX, and IECEx approvals.
Key Features: These switches comply with ANSI/ISA 12.27.01 and NEC 501.17, offer optional materials like Hastelloy® and Monel® for corrosive media, and include a snap-acting Belleville spring for durability. They come with 72" lead wires, a 3-year warranty, and mounting brackets for retrofitting.
Specifications: Operating temperatures range from -58 to 176°F, with media temperatures varying by sensor type. Set point accuracy is ±1% for temperature models and ±1.5% for some pressure models. The enclosure is 316 stainless steel, certified to Type 4X and IP66, with SPDT and DPDT switch output options.
Applications: Suitable for offshore platforms, rotating equipment, chemical plants, and refineries, especially in space-constrained environments.
Compliance and Certifications: The 12 Series meets UL, ATEX, IECEx, and PED standards, complying with directives like the Low Voltage Directive and Pressure Equipment Directive.
Model Chart: Detailed specifications for sensor types include adjustable set point ranges, deadband, over-range, and proof pressure values, ensuring durability under various conditions.
Procedures and Recommendations: Avoid metallic diaphragms in high-pressure shock environments. Over Range Pressure is the maximum continuous pressure without damage, while Proof Pressure is the maximum occasional pressure without permanent damage.
Ordering Information: Instructions for constructing part numbers include series designation, housing material, electrical rating, and more. Options include factory-set switches and compliance with safety standards.
Accessories and Optional Features: Available accessories include mounting bracket kits, junction boxes, and thermowells. Optional materials for corrosive media include Hastelloy and Monel diaphragms.
Dimensional Drawings: Available online, these drawings provide detailed measurements for various models and optional mounting kits.
Product Options: Customization options include mounting brackets, cover locks, junction boxes, and more, with specific compliance notes.
Alternative Products: Alternatives like the Vanguard Gas Detector and One Series Safety Transmitter offer features such as WirelessHART communication and SIL2 IEC 61508 certification.
Recommended Practices and Warnings: Recommendations include adhering to pressure and temperature limits, using backup units, proper installation, and regular maintenance.
Limited Warranty: A 36-month warranty covers defects in material and workmanship, excluding tampering or misuse.
Limitation of Liability: Liability is limited to repair and replacement, with no responsibility for indirect damages.
Additional Information: Specifications may change without notice. Visit www.ueonline.com for sales office information.
