Model 289A Differential Pressure Indicating Switch Section 1
Section 1—Introduction
General
The weatherproof Model 289A is a differential pressure indicating switch.
The Model 289A has a NEMA-4 watertight die-cast aluminum case (nished
with a weather-resistant black epoxy resin paint). The cover lens is secured in
the bezel with an elastomer ring to reduce the possibility of accidental break-
age. This ring also acts as a seal between the bezel and the case to ensure a
moisture, fume and dust-free atmosphere for the indicator and switch mecha-
nism. The large cover lens allows maximum readability of the indicating
pointer.
Switches and all adjustments are readily accessible when the cover is re-
moved.
The built-in switches energize either single or dual alarm circuits when the
measured differential pressures exceed predetermined limits. These limits
may be either maximum, minimum, or both.
