Series 1900 Pressure Switch
Specications - Installation and Operating Instructions
Bulletin E-56
Advanced design and precision construction permit these switches to perform many 
of the tasks of larger, costlier units. Designed for air conditioning service, they also 
serve many uidics, refrigeration, oven and dryer applications. For use with air and 
non-combustible gases. Series 1900 Pressure Switches are available with set points 
of 0.07 to 20 inches water column. Set point adjustment can be made easily - before or 
after installation. Range screw is inside conduit enclosure to help prevent tampering. 
For  easy  mounting  and  access,  pressure  and  electrical  connections  and  set  point 
adjustment are located on one side. This permits installation in corners or spaces too 
small for other switches.
SPECIAL MODELS & ACCESSORIES
Special close coupled street elbow for right angle pressure connections. Can be 
installed on switch anytime. Zinc plated aluminum.

The  Dwyer-engineered  force-motion  amplier  increases  the  leverage  of 
diaphragm  movement  and  results  in  a  switch  with  excellent  sensitivity  and 
repeatability.
