Robertshaw 2374-510 Installation Data

General DesCription & operation
The Robertshaw 2374-510 Air Pressure Sensing Switch
®
has a glass-filled polycarbonate housing containing a
sensing diaphragm and an integral snap-acting switch
with three male 90° quick-connect terminals. The switch
can sense positive, negative or differential air pressure.
The field adjustable set point range of this switch is
0.10" W.C. to 10.0" W.C. Using the switch accessories
contained in this kit, the switch can be applied to a
wide variety of residential and light commercial HVAC
applications.
set point ranGe & aDjustment
Calibration requires a manometer (not included in the kit)
as well as the included 7
1. Establish the set point as follows. Referring to Table 2 in
this manual, select the appropriate spring for the required
set point range. Insert the spring into the center well of
the mounting pan (light gray side of the switch housing).
2. Insert the black set point adjustment screw, and rotate
it manually until the threads are engaged.
3. Connect the switch to a manometer. Using the
hex wrench provided in the kit, turn the adjustment screw
in small increments until the desired set point is reached.
Turn the screw clockwise to increase the set point or
counterclockwise to decrease the set point. For precise
calibration, confirm the set point at actual operating
temperature with a manometer. Following precise
calibration, if desired, seal the adjusting screw using a
UV curable adhesive/sealant. Do not place the switch
in operation without knowing what the set point is:
doing so could create a hazardous situation.
mountinG
Using the (2) #6 x ⅜" mounting screws included in the
kit, mount via the integral foot bracket (see Fig. 1) or, via
either of the optional brackets (see Figs 4 & 5) included
in the kit. If using one of the optional brackets, attach it
to the switch with the self-tapping screw provided before
mounting the switch. Select a mounting location free
from vibration. Mount with the diaphragm in any vertical
plane. Avoid mounting with the sample line connections
directed upward.
eleCtriCal ConneCtions
The snap switch has three ¼" 90° male quick connect
terminals. Before pressure is applied to the diaphragm,
the switch contacts are in the deactivated position as
shown in Figure 2.

air samplinG ConneCtion
Integral sample line connectors, located on both sides
of the diaphragm, accept
Figure 3. The High or Positive inlet (P1) is black and the
Low or Negative inlet (P2) is gray. Connect the sample
lines as follows:
positive pressure only: Connect the sample line to P1;
P2 remains open to the atmosphere.
negative pressure only: Connect the sample line to P2;
P1 remains open to the atmosphere.
two negative samples: Connect higher negative sample
to P2; lower sample to P1.
two positive samples: Connect higher positive sample
to P1; lower sample to P2.
one positive and one negative: Connect positive
sample to P1; connect negative sample to P2.
usinG a Flow-restriCtinG oriFiCe
Some applications require a delayed switching action
after set point is reached. The delay is created by
inserting an orifice plug into either or both of the sample
line connectors to restrict air flow. Eight orifice plugs in
four color-coded sizes are included in the kit as shown
in Table 3. Note that the measuring device and the air
switch must both contain the same size restricting orifice in
order to obtain an accurate measurement of the set point.
