Dwyer Instruments 1996-5 Pressure Switch
The Dwyer Instruments 1996-5 Pressure Switch is a compact, cost-effective solution specifically engineered for gas pressure monitoring in commercial and industrial HVACR systems. Designed for high or low gas pressure interlock, this diaphragm-operated switch features a set point range of 1.4 to 5.5" w.c., making it ideal for furnace safety circuits and induction draft monitoring. The unit is compatible with natural gas, manufactured gas, and LP gas, and can also be utilized in clean air applications. It utilizes an SPDT switch (Single Pole Double Throw), allowing for versatile wiring of either normally open or normally closed contacts to meet specific sequence-of-operation requirements. For ease of installation in tight mechanical rooms, the Dwyer 1996-5 offers dual bottom connections with 1/8" female NPT and 1/4" male NPT threads. Technicians can perform rapid diagnostics using the visible set point indicator and on-off status window, ensuring precise field adjustments without specialized tools.
Key Benefits- Multi-Fuel Compatibility: Engineered for seamless integration with LP gas, natural gas, and manufactured gas systems.
- Dual Mounting Connections: Simplifies field replacement with both 1/8" female and 1/4" male NPT bottom pressure ports.
- Visual Diagnostics: Includes a clear on-off indicator and visible set point scale to streamline troubleshooting and verification.
- High Current Capacity: Features SPDT contacts rated for 15 A at 120-480 VAC, suitable for direct control of heavy-duty gas valves.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand surge pressures up to 10 psig while maintaining accuracy in horizontal mounting positions.
What is the maximum pressure rating for the Dwyer 1996-5?
This switch is designed for a continuous operating pressure of 45" w.c. (11.2 kPa) and can handle surge pressures up to 10 psig (68.95 kPa) without damaging the internal diaphragm.
How do I adjust the set point on this gas pressure switch?
The set point is adjusted via a lead screw located inside the conduit enclosure. The visible indicator allows you to accurately calibrate the trigger point between 1.4 and 5.5" w.c.
Can the 1996-5 be mounted in any orientation?
For cataloged accuracy, the switch should be mounted with the diaphragm in a horizontal position and the gas pressure connection at the bottom. Consult the factory if a vertical orientation is required for your specific installation.
