Explosion-Proof Pressure Switch
Model PS-12
The PS-12 Pressure Switch is for use in conjunction with
BERMAD Deluge or other types of water control valves, to
indicate discharge water pressure. This Pressure Switch
offers reliability, repeatability and durability in a compact
design. It is ideal for operation under the harsh conditions
of DIV.1 or Zone 1 (II 2 G/D EEx d IIC T6 Certified)
hazardous locations.
At the heart of the PS-12 is a snap action Belleville spring
assembly, which transfers motion to a hermetically sealed
5 amp vibration resistant microswitch.
Applications: Chemical plants, refineries, gas and
petroleum installations, offshore and marine vessels.
Features
Stainless Steel construction
Vibration resistant technology
Hermetically sealed switch enclosure
