Photohelic® Pressure Switch/Gage with Integral Transmitter
Indicating Gage, Low and High Limit Control, 4-20 mA Transmitter
The Series 3000SGT Photohelic® Switch/Gage/Transmitter
combines several critical control functions into a single, easy-to-install
package. This versatile instrument starts with the universally accepted
standard
for reliable low air pressure measurement, the Dwyer® Magnehelic® Gage.
It measures
positive, negative or differential pressures within ±2% of full scale accuracy.
This time-proven component provides highly reliable analog indication of air
or compatible gas pressure on a 4", 80° scale. Gage operation is completely independent — functions
normally
even if power is interrupted to electrical elements of the control.
Next, two DPDT relays are added which serve as Low/High limit controls
(or pressure switches) capable of handling up to 10 amps @ 28 VDC or 120/240
VAC directly. Individual setpoint deadband is one pointer width — less
than 1% of full scale; just enough to assure positive, chatter-free operation.
Integral holding coils enable user to connect the two so they work like
a single control with variable deadband — ideal for applications such
as clean room and building pressurization, HVAC systems, automatic air
filter or level control and much more. Actuation points are fully adjustable
over the entire pressure range with convenient front mounted knobs linked
to bright red setpoint indicators.
Finally, the Series 3000SGT Photohelic® Switch/Gage
includes a separate 4-20 mA, 2-wire transmitter operating from an external
10-35
VDC power supply. Separate adjustments are included for zero and span
inside
the rear electronics enclosure.
Optional A-700 Power Supply is a perfect companion rated for AC inputs
from 100-240V; DC outputs from 24-28V. The transmitter component
is an ideal driver for variable speed blowers and fans, damper positioners
and for continuous data logging on computerized VAV systems or strip
chart recorders.
Besides the obvious cost and space saving advantages of combining
all these control functions in a single unit, think of the additional
savings in time and material with just one set of pneumatic lines to
connect instead of three or four.
