GENERAL
®
PSW-180 Teflon differential pressure switch
utilizes a diaphragm sensor to monitor pressure
changes. The switch utilizes dual diaphragm
sensors to monitor the difference in pressure
manufacturers recommendations. Cut tubing. Slip
nut over tubing. Flare tubing. Press tubing onto
pressure connection, making certain tubing is
seated on pressure connection shoulder. Tighten
nut, hand tight, onto pressure connection (see
Figure 1).

between two sources. PFA Teflon wetted ports
insure corrosion resistance in highly corrosive
applications and is well suited for high purity
applications.
Dimensions
Minimum torque requirement for 1⁄4” nut is 5
inch • pounds (0.57 Newton • Meters). Be sure
to connect high pressure source to port labeled
“HIGH.” Connect low pressure source to “LOW.”
Part I - Installation
NEVER TIGHTEN BY TURNING THE
CONTROL INTO THE FITTING.
Tools Needed
Applicable Screwdriver
Flaretek® tubing cutter 213-14 or equal
Flaretek® flaring tool 213-58 or equal
Flaretek® tools may be ordered from
Flouroware, Inc., Phone (612) 448 - 3131
DO NOT USE A WRENCH. FITTING MUST
BE HAND TIGHTENED ONLY, OVER
TIGHTENING MAY DAMAGE THE PORT.
WIRING
ALL LIVE SUPPLY CIRCUITS MUST BE
DISCONNECTED BEFORE WIRING THE
CONTROL. CONNECT THE CONDUIT TO THE
HOLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL AND
LOCAL CODES. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED
WIRE SIZE IS 16 AWG.
MOUNTING
LOCATE SWITCH WHERE VIBRATION,
SHOCK, AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
FLUCTUATIONS ARE MINIMAL.
The control can be mounted in any position.
Locate where ambient temperature is above 30°F
and below 160°F.
Unscrew terminal just enough to put stripped
wire under terminal block clamp. Nominal torque
value for terminal block screws is 9.0 in-lbs.
Surface Mounting
Insert two #6 screws through mounting ear holes
on 2” centers (recommended mounting for
maximum vibration resistance). Follow directions
for making pressure connection.
Conduit hub is to be connected to conduit before
conduit is connected to enclosure.
All dimensions are stated in
inches unless noted.
Pipe Mounting
Mount unit from its port(s). Follow directions for
making pressure connection.
Part II - Adjustments
Tools Needed
Flat blade screwdriver
Use screwdriver to turn external adjusting screw
on the side. Turn “in” (clockwise) to increase
pressure setting. For best setting accuracy, set the
