(determined by pipe diameter & paddle length). (See Diagram 1.1) Once the PPS has switched, the paddle is almost totally removed from the flow path. This guarantees minimal pressure loss across the instrument.
Specifications Operating Principle: Spring resisted paddle, cam assisted Dimensions: See Diagram 2.2 Switching Points: See Table 2.4 Maximum Pressure: 145 PSIG Maximum Media Temperature: 225° F Maximum Induced Pressure Loss: 1.45 PSI Switching Repeatability: ± 3% Fitting: 1” MNPT or G1 (1” BSP) male Electrical Connection: DIN 43650 Plug/Socket Table 2.1: Reed Switch Electrical Data...
Electrical Connection: The PPS is designed to be directly mounted into the top of pipes through the use of a 1” NPT fitting. Use PTFE sealing tape for proper sealing and ease of installation.
Operation The PPS comes with either a N/O or N/C switch (at no flow), as specified by order code. The switching function is factory set and is not user adjustable. The reed switch of the PPS may be used to switch loads directly as long as switch limits are not exceeded (Table 2.1).
