The PHOTOHELIC
®
Series A3000 is a versatile 2-in-1 instru-
ment combining a time-proven Magnehelic
sure gage with low/high pressure switches. It is designed to
measure and control positive, negative or differential pressure
of air or other non-combustible, non-corrosive gases. Gage
reading is unaffected by switch operation. Switch set points are
easily adjusted with knobs located on gage face. Applied pres-
sure and switch set points are fully visible at all times.
Deadband is one pointer width, less than 1% of full scale. Each
set point controls a DPDT relay and both relays can be inter-
locked to provide variable deadband control.

INSTALLATION
1. Location: Select a clean, dry, vibration-free location where
ambient temperatures will be between 20 and 120°F (-6.67 and
48.9°C). Tubing supplying pressure to the instrument can be
practically any length but long runs will increase response time
slightly.
2. Position: The PHOTOHELIC
brated for use with scale in a vertical plane. Operation at other
angles may affect accuracy and/or require zero adjustment.
Most models can be specially calibrated at the factory for other
positions if specified at time of ordering. Ranges below 1" W.C.
must be used only with scale vertical.
3. Mounting: The PHOTOHELIC
making electrical connections. The electrical enclosure is
removable at any time regardless of mounting method.
(A) Panel Mounting: Normal mounting is flush or through panel
as shown in Fig. B. Allow 4-
the unit for removal of electrical enclosure. Make a 4-13/16"
(122.24 mm) diameter hole in panel. Insert the PHOTOHELIC
unit from front of panel and slip mounting ring over case from
behind with stepped side facing rear. Fit the snap ring into nar-
row groove at back edge of the bezel. Thread four 6-32 x 1-1/4"
mounting screws into tapped holes in mounting ring and seat it
against snap ring. Tighten screws against back of panel. See
