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. A glass-filled nylon terminal block with quick screw terminal connections gives the PSB switch a real advantage in industrial engine applications in general purpose non-classified areas. The PSB is ideal when a reading is not desired, but pressure is critical to operational efficiency.

■ 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.
instrument. 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 nonclassified areas.

Mounting
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
overtighten). DO NOT TWIST CASE.
