The Photohelic
®
Switch/Gage is a very versatile, precise pressure
switch combined with the time-proven Magnehelic
Models are available with one or two phototransistor actuated relays.
Gage reading is unaffected by switch operation. Easy to adjust set points
have knob controls. Applied pressure and switch set points are fully
visible at all times. Deadband is one pointer width - less than 1% of full
scale. Double-pole double-throw relays can be easily interlocked to
provide variable deadband control. For positive, negative or differential
pressure only on 3600S models. Full scale ranges available from 0-.25
in w.c. to 0-6000 psig.
PHOTOHELIC
®
GAGE SENSING - HOW IT WORKS
In a typical control application, the Photohelic
between high and low pressure set points. When pressure changes,
reaching either set point pressure, the beam from an LED to the limiting
phototransistor will be cut off by the helix-driven light shield. The
resulting signal change is electronically amplified to actuate its DPDT
slave relay and switching occurs. Dead band between make and break
is 1% of full scale or less - just enough to assure positive, chatter-free
operation.
