•  Adjustable, fixed deadband, or manual reset

•  External switch setpoint adjustments

•  Minimum deadband is obtainable at any point in the range

•  Pressure Ranges of full vacuum to 8000 psig.

•  UL listed, CSA approved. Many models FM approved.

•  General purpose, weatherproof or explosion-proof enclosures

•  Single or two stage operation

Location and Mounting

Select  a  location  that  is  recommended  by  equipment  manufacter  and  reasonably 

free from vibration caused by reciprocating or rotating machinery. Where excessive 

vibration occurs, use a remote connection and mount by means of a mounting bracket 

or  separable  flange  (available  on  order).  When  in  doubt  about  excessive  vibration, 

use  a  remote  connection.  Where  pulsations,  pres-sure  surges,  or  water  hammer 

are  present,  protect  the  control  with  a  surge  tank  or  scrubber. 

Mount  all  controls 

vertically and level.

General Purpose Controls:

 Install controls prefixed by the let-ters DA, DAF, DRF, DL, 

DS, DSF, firmly in a level position. Do not mount the control by twisting the case; use 

a wrench on the square part of the 1/4˝ bottom pipe connection. To level, sight across 

the two cover screws or check the lower end of the glass opening in the cover to see 

that the control is lined up horizontal-ly. On general purpose controls provided with a 

flange, mount by means of the three holes in the flange.
