GENERAL
MISUSE OF THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE
EXPLOSION AND PERSONAL INJURY.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE THOR-
OUGHLY READ AND UNDERSTOOD BEFORE
UNIT IS INSTALLED.
The 120 Series pressure and differential pressure
controls are actuated when a bellows, diaphragm or
piston sensor responds to a pressure change. This
response at a pre-determined set point(s) actuates
a SPDT, dual SPDT or DPDT snap-acting
microswitch(es), which converts the pressure signal
into an electrical signal. Control set point(s) may be
varied by turning the internal adjustment hex (J120
models) or the external knob and pointer(s) (H121,
H122, H122P models) according to the procedures
outlined below.
PROOF PRESSURE LIMITS STATED IN THE
LITERATURE AND ON NAMEPLATES MUST
NEVER BE EXCEEDED, EVEN BY SURGES IN
THE SYSTEM. OCCASIONAL OPERATION OF UNIT
UP TO MAXIMUM PRESSURE IS ACCEPTABLE (E.G.
START-UP, TESTING). CONTINUOUS OPERATION
SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE DESIGNATED OVER
RANGE PRESSURE.
Proof Pressure
The highest pressure to which a sensing element may
be occasionally operated without adversely affecting
setpoint calibration and repeatability.

MOUNTING
ALWAYS HOLD A WRENCH ON THE
PRESSURE HOUSING HEX WHEN MOUNT-
ING UNIT. DO NOT TIGHTEN BY TURNING
ENCLOSURE. THIS WILL DAMAGE SENSOR AND
WEAKEN SOLDER OR WELDED JOINTS.
INSTALL UNITS WHERE SHOCK, VIBRA-
TION AND TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS
ARE MINIMAL. ORIENT UNIT TO PREVENT
MOISTURE FROM ENTERING THE ENCLOSURE.

"Opposed sensor" differential pressure controls should
be mounted with their pressure connection in the
horizontal position (See Figure 2). This will properly ori-
ent the vent holes on the pressure housing as well as
the 1/4" NPT venting conduit at the bottom of the third
compartment (standardly supplied with plastic plug.
