FAQ's of Dwyer ADPS-08-2-N Adjustable Differential Pressure Switch:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer ADPS-08-2-N differential pressure switch?
A: You can install the ADPS-08-2-N directly onto a panel or duct using the provided mounting screws. Connect the pressure ports to 1/8" OD tubing for your air or non-corrosive gas lines, and wire the SPDT electrical terminals as shown in the included installation manual.
Q: What are the main applications for this pressure switch?
A: This switch is designed primarily for monitoring differential pressure of air and non-corrosive gases in HVAC systems, air handling units, filter monitoring, and various industrial process control scenarios.
Q: When should I adjust the pressure set point, and how is it done?
A: Adjust the set point using the knob whenever you need to alter the differential pressure threshold for triggering the switch. Setting should be done according to the requirements of your system, within the 20 to 200 Pa scale range indicated on the device.
Q: Where can the ADPS-08-2-N be installed safely?
A: With its IP54/NEMA 13 rated enclosure and durable ABS construction, the switch can be mounted indoors in industrial environments where it may encounter dust or splashed water, but should be protected from outdoor weather exposure.
Q: What is the advantage of SPDT (Single-Pole Double-Throw) switching for this device?
A: SPDT switching enables the ADPS-08-2-N to control two different circuits simultaneously, providing increased flexibility for automation and control systems requiring a changeover function based on differential pressure.
Q: How precise is the ADPS-08-2-N differential pressure switch?
A: It offers an accuracy of 15% of the set point, making it suitable for a broad range of monitoring tasks where moderate precision is acceptable for protecting equipment or signalling filter maintenance.
