2WPS Pressure Switch

Product catalog summary
Description & Features:
The 2WPS Pressure Switch can be equipped with one or two SPDT electric switches, which are independently adjustable. It is available with or without a rugged die-cast NEMA 4X, 12, and 13 housing. The housing allows easy access to terminals and pressure adjustments. The switch features field-adjustable set points and a die-cast cover with captive stainless steel screws. A calibrated pressure adjustment aligns with a numerical scale for easy set point range indication. The product comes with a 1-year warranty.
Applications:
This pressure switch is suitable for tank and compressor level control, hydraulic systems, pumping controls, and hazardous area lift station controls. It supports diaphragm actuation from 2 to 300 PSI and bellows actuation from 10 to 3000 PSI.
Specifications:
  • Housing: Diecast aluminum
  • Pressure Connection: 1/4” NPT female standard, 1/2” NPT male available
  • Electrical Connection: 1/2” NPT male
  • Port Material: Brass for diaphragm actuated, SS with silver braze for bellows actuated
  • Diaphragm Material: Buna N, Teflon® protected, Viton®
  • Deadband: Fixed
  • Sensitivity: 0.5% of range (for SPDT)
  • Drift: <1% of range (100,000 operations)
  • Contact Ratings: 15A - 125, 250, 480 VAC
  • Set Point Adjustment: Screw type, field adjustable
  • No. of Contacts: One or Two SPDT
  • Temperature Range: Diaphragm Actuated: -20°F to 180°F, Bellows Actuated: -40°F to 180°F
  • Weight: 1.5 to 1.8 lbs
Installation Notes:
  • Orientation: The device operates in any position, but vertical mounting is recommended for ease of adjustment and sediment reduction.
  • Wiring: Can be wired to 'normally open' or 'normally closed' terminals. Single switch units have screw terminals; dual switch versions use a terminal block.
  • Pressure Connection: Standard is 1/4" NPT female; 1/2" NPT male is available.
  • Adjustment: Turn pressure adjustment nut(s) clockwise to increase setpoint. Detailed instructions are provided with each shipment.
Deadband Notes:
The deadband is the maximum switch differential when using the standard electric switch. It varies by switch type, with specific values provided for different types.
Adjustable Pressure Range and Deadband:
Tables provide detailed information on adjustable pressure ranges, maximum deadbands, and maximum working pressures for both diaphragm and bellows actuated switches.
