Designed for use with MFD FRL products, DPS Series switches can be mounted directly to MFD regulators, filter/regulators, and soft start valves using available adapter kits. Or, the DPS can be standalone mounted via the male center-back port, available panel adapter, or threaded mounting holes.

Do not attempt to install the pressure switch by turning the switch body. Serious damage to the switch may result. Wiring Diagrams...
Sensor Breather Port DPS series switches include a vent port located on the bottom of the switch housing. The vent port allows atmospheric pressure to the sensor for accurate measurement. To maintain IP65 enclosure protection, install the supplied tube and sintered breather on the vent port. Or, use a 2.5mm I.D.
Hysteresis Mode Hysteresis mode operates similarly to point set mode but allows the user to set a wider hysteresis band. The digital output is enabled when pressure rises above H1 or H2 and is disabled when pressure falls below L1 or L2. For information on setting H1, H2, L1 and L2, see “Setting Digital Outputs”.
Initial Settings The DPS basic settings menu allows the user to setup digital output options, change response time, and configure the display color and pressure units. To access the basic settings menu, press and hold the blue “SET” button for three seconds. Press the “SET” button momentarily to step through the seven settings within the menu.

Setting the Max. and Min. Display Values Set the maximum and minimum display values to limit the range of pressures displayed on the DPS LCD display. To set the maximum display value, press and hold the “UP” button for at least three seconds.
Measurement 0. 0 Mode Using the Copy Function The copy function permits quick transfer of settings from a previously configured DPS (master) to a new DPS of the same model (slave). Prior to executing the copy, set the master unit’s copy setting to on or onL in the advanced settings menu.

5 will set system hysteresis to 0.5psi. Q: What is the difference between the MFD DPS switches and the DG-06 or DG-08? DPS Series switches and MFD digital gauges (DG-06 and DG-08) all display system pressure but DPS switches are powered externally, offer programmable digital outputs, and an analog output or copy function.
12VDC supply, a 10V analog output signal could be affected by variations in the supply voltage. As such, the analog output is limited to 5V.
