6702 ~ High Pressure Switch
6702 Pressure Switch
The industrial pressure switch is moulded entirely in plastic with the
exception of the pressure connection and is water, oil and dust proof to
IP65. The switches have excellent repeat accuracy, even over widely
varying ambient conditions.
The operating pressure is adjustable externally using the thumb screw on
the top and the approximate pressure setting can be seen through a window
in the cover. To discourage unauthorised tampering, the adjusting screw can
be locked in position with an M1.5mm Allen screw.
The microswitches have independent vernier adjustment and are normally
set to operate within 2 PSI on rising pressure. Where two pressure levels
are to be controlled, the switches can be adjusted separately so that one
switch will operate at up to 80% of the level of the second. The switches can
also be set to operate simultaneously on falling pressure instead of rising
pressure.
The pressure switch is of Class II construction with double insulation.
For quantity orders, many special options are available, please enquire:-
y
Single or double pole switching set to specific pressure levels

Alternative connector sizes

Alternative diaphragms and metal chambers to resist particular fluids
