PGS23 PRESSURE GAUGE WITH SWITCH CONTACTS

Wherever the process pressure has to be indicated locally and, at the same time, circuits need to be switched, the model PGS23.1x0 switchGAUGE finds its use.

Switch contacts (electrical switch contacts) make or break an electric control circuit dependent upon the pointer position of the indicating measuring instrument. The switch contacts are adjustable over the full extent of the scale range (see DIN 16085), and are mounted predominantly below the dial, though also partly on top of the dial. The instrument pointer (actual value pointer) moves freely across the entire scale range, independent of the setting. The set pointer can be adjusted using a removable adjustment key in the window.

Switch contacts consisting of several contacts can also be set to a single set point. Contact actuation is made when the actual value pointer travels beyond or below the desired set point.

The pressure gauge is manufactured in accordance with DIN 16085 and fulfils all requirements of the relevant standards (EN 837-1) and regulations for the on-site display of the working pressure of pressure vessels.

As switch contacts, magnetic snap-action contacts, reed switches, inductive contacts and electronic contacts are available. Inductive contacts can be used in hazardous areas. For triggering programmable logic controllers (PLC), electronic contacts and reed switches can be used.

Applications:

• Control and regulation of processes
• Monitoring of plants and switching of circuits
• For gaseous and liquid aggressive media that are not highly viscous or crystallising, also in aggressive environments
• Chemical industry, petrochemical industry, power plants, mining, on-/offshore, environmental technology, machine building and general plant construction

Features and Benefits:

• Up to 4 switch contacts per instrument
• Also available with case filling for high dynamic pressure loads or vibrations
• Instruments with inductive contacts for use in hazardous areas
• Instruments with contacts for PLC applications
• Instruments optionally available in safety version S3 per EN 837
