The Dwyer Instruments 1638-5 is a standard pressure switch with SPDT contacts. This type of switch actuates an electrical circuit based on a change in system pressure, with a set point range of 2.0 to 6.0 in H2O. It features a visible set point indicator, a large diaphragm for low range accuracy, and supports current loads up to 15 amps. The switch is CSA, FM, and UL listed, with 1/8 in FNPT process connections and pressure limits of 10 psig continuous and 25 psig surge.
