Dwyer Instruments A3010 | Pressure Switch | 0-0.36 psi | NPT 1/8 in Female | A3000 Series
The Photohelic® Switch/Gages offer a versatile solution, combining precise pressure measurement with highly repeatable pressure switches, built on the reliable Magnehelic® gage design. They accurately measure and control positive, negative, or differential pressures of air and compatible gases. Standard models are rated up to 25 psig (1.7 bar), with options available for 35 (2.4) or 80 (5.5 bar) psig. Additionally, single pressure 36000S models can measure up to 6000 psig (413 bar) with a 9000 psig (620 bar) rating.
Equipped with two phototransistor actuated, DPDT relays, these devices offer precise low/high limit control. Adjusting set points is made easy with knobs located on the gage face, and individual set point deadband is remarkably narrow, less than 1% of full scale, ensuring accuracy. Set points can also be interlocked for variable deadband, making them ideal for controlling fans, dampers, and similar applications.
Furthermore, the gage reading remains continuous and unaffected by switch operation, even during electrical power loss. They offer a wide range of full-scale pressure options, from a low 0-.25" (0-6 mm) w.c. up to 30 psi (21 bar), including single positive pressure up to 6000 psig (413 bar).

- The Photohelic® switch/gage set point mechanism is visible when the bezel and front cover (which have set point knobs and a zero adjustment screw) are removed. Plastic cover made of clear polycarbonate.
- Mounted on the helix and balancing counterweight are the gauge pointer and light shutter. Depending on the pressure exerted, the shutter travels through an optical limit switch slot to either mask or expose phototransistors to an integrated infrared light source.
- Light shields phototransistors from bright external light sources while enabling unrestricted pointer movement. Additionally, it creates a tidy, "finished" look within.
- Optical limit switches are favored for their longevity and dependability. They are individually aligned and attached directly to set pointers to provide perfect switching accuracy.
- Set point knobs are connected to a semi-flexible drive shaft.
- To change the zero pressure measurement, the zero adjustment screw is connected to the screw in cover.
- Electrical connections and electronic components are shielded by plastic enclosures.
- The terminal board or polycarbonate connector self-extinguishes.
- Circuit boards printed using glass epoxy for permanence and durability.
- DPDT load relays with a latching feature allow for the greatest flexibility in application.
- Electronic devices are intended to run on 120 volts at a frequency of 50/60 Hz, with a 10% voltage fluctuation. There are specific units available for different voltages.
- Switch set pointers always display the switch settings.
- Operator damage to the set point mechanism is prevented by a spring-loaded friction clutch.
- A 3-in-1 instrument reduces the need for many instruments with a single device, saving money, time, and inventory during installation.
- A 1% full scale dead band and patented design allow for fast responsiveness to pressure changes, which eliminates noise and ensures seamless switching.
- A large selection of models that can satisfy modest to extremely high pressure measuring requirements.
