Installation, 
Continued 

For use as a negative pressure switch: 

Connect the static pressure line to the low inlet (marked on the case and Figure 2) 
and leave the high inlet open to the atmosphere. 

For use as a positive pressure switch: 

Connect the static pressure line to the high inlet (marked on the case and Figure 2) 
and leave the low inlet open to the atmosphere. 

For use as a differential pressure switch: 

Connect the highest static pressure line to the high inlet and the lowest static 
pressure line to the low inlet (marked on the case and Figure 2.)

Setpoint 
Adjustment 

Each switch is factory set at the minimum setpoint. See Table 1. 

1.  To increase the setpoint, turn the adjustment screw clockwise as shown in Figure 2 

and Figure 3. From the lowest setpoint, several turns are necessary to engage the 
adjusting mechanism. 

2.  Adjust the setpoint until switching occurs at the required point. 

3.  Check the setpoint for accuracy with a magnahelic gauge.
