Bulletin AFS952.01

Model

AFS–952

Description & Operation

The 

Cleveland Controls AFS-952

Differential Pressure Sensing
Switch 

is designed to provide precise

operation and convenient features for
industrial and commercial air han-
dling applications. The 

AFS-952

 can

monitor positive, negative, or differ-
ential pressure (flow) of air and non-
combustible gases, and is commonly
used to monitor combustion air, fur-
nace pressure, ventilating blower op-
eration, inflatable structure pressure,
fume hood operation, bag house air
flow, dirt accumulation in air filters,
and heat-transfer air flow. The

 AFS-

952 

has a field–adjustable set point

range of 0.05"wc to 12.0"wc with an
8-second (± 3 seconds) time delay
relay sequence. The time delay pre-
vents nuisance shutdowns due to nor-
mal draft fluctuations.

Common Applications

The most common specific applica-
tion for the AFS-952 is as a 

Low

Draft (Negative Pressure) Cutoff
Safety Switch

 for combustion draft

control systems.

The general applications of the

 AFS-

952

 are:

• Low Positive Pressure Cutoff

.

(Shutdown upon insufficient pres-
sure.)

• Low Negative Pressure Cutoff

.

(Shutdown upon insufficient draft.)

• Low Differential Pressure Cutoff

.

(Shutdown upon insufficient differ-
ence between two samples.)

Mounting

The 

AFS-952

 is available in 3 enclo-

sures designed for surface mounting
on any flat, relatively stable surface
free of vibration. To obtain the low-
est operating set point specification,
the control must be mounted with the
diaphragm vertical (Fig 1).

The standard enclosure has mounting
flanges with four 9/32" mounting
holes as shown on page 3. The
NEMA-4 rated model has mounting
flanges with four 5/16" mounting
holes as shown on page 4. The
NEMA-7/NEMA-9 rated enclosure
has two mounting slots as shown on
page 4.
