Operating principles
Pressure Switch models GR2, GR4 and Differential
Pressure Switch models GR3, GR6 are diaphragm
operated switches.
These diaphragms generate a force proportional to
the applied pressure and are balanced by a user
adjustable control spring. When the force exceeds
that created by the control spring, the diaphragm
moves causing a push rod to actuate a snap-acting
micros-witch.
Temperature model GR7 works in the same way as
the Pressure models with the exception that the
applied pressure comes from the expansion of a
vapour enclosed in either a rigid stem or semi-rigid
thermal system.
