THE EPOXY RESIN SHALL NOT BE SUBJECTED TO A TEMPERATURE
GREATER THAN 125°C.
THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT HAVE ANY FIELD REPLACEABLE PARTS. ANY
SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS WILL INVALIDATE THIRD-PARTY ISSUED
APPROVALS AND CERTIFICATIONS, AND MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR
CLASS I, DIVISION 1 LOCATION.
The 12 Series switch utilizes a diaphragm or a piston sensor to detect a pressure
change. The response, at a predetermined set point, actuates a SPDT or DPDT
snap-acting switch, converting a pressure signal into an electrical signal. Control set
point may be varied by turning the internal slotted adjustment screw according to
procedures outlined in Part II-Adjustments.

PROOF PRESSURE* LIMITS STATED WITHIN THE LITERATURE AND PRINTED
ONTO THE PRODUCT HOUSING MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED, EVEN BY
SURGES IN THE SYSTEM. OCCASIONAL OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT UP TO
PROOF PRESSURE IS ACCEPTABLE (E.G., START-UP, TESTING). CONTINUOUS
OPERATION SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE DESIGNATED OVER RANGE PRESSURE**
OR WORKING PRESSURE RANGE***.
*Proof Pressure - the maximum pressure to which a pressure sensor may be occasionally
subjected, which causes no permanent damage (e.g., start-up testing). The product may
require set-point adjustment after reaching proof pressure.
**Over Range Pressure - the pressure value to which a pressure sensor may be
continuously subjected without causing damage and while maintaining set point
repeatability.
***Working Pressure Range - the pressure range within which two opposing sensors can
be safely operated while maintaining set point repeatability.
