QUESTIONS

Question
Will a Dwyer pressure switch be damaged if the pressure exceeding the maximum set-point is applied to the switch?
Answer
No. Not unless the maximum pressure rating of the switch is exceeded.
Question
How do I hook up my Magnehelic® gage for an air velocity application with a pitot tube?
Answer
In our Application Guides on flow products, we explain very well how to take air velocity readings. The total pressure connection on the pitot tube is connected to one of the high pressure ports on the gage. The other high pressure port is plugged. The static pressure connection on the pitot tube is connected to one of the low pressure ports on the gage. The other low pressure port is plugged.
Question
How often should I replace the filter on my 1205A-0 handheld CO analyzer?
Answer
This filter should be replaced if it begins to appear wet or dirty and can be replaced with Model F195 Air Filter.
Question
Trying to measure differential pressure between OSA and indoors. Using transmitters with a range of +25pa to -25pa. Monitoring pressure variations occur from basically 0pa to 20pa over a short period of time (15 to 30 sec) Building is basically closed during testing, suspect OSA fluctuating due to winds? eddy currents etc. Any ideas, Building under positive pressure is critical for safety reasons Any ideas?
Answer
Whenever you are using outside air for a static pressure reference, fluctuations in outside conditions can cause erratic differential pressure readings. By using one of our outdoor static reference probes, you can diminish the influence of outdoor weather on your reading.
Question
I need to protect a pressure transmitter from power surges and spikes. The model of the transmitter is: 626-09-GH-P1-E1-S1
Answer
If you are worried about power surges and spikes, we recommend that you use a regulated power supply in your system. See our Model BPS-005 low cost DC regulated power supply.
