Instructions
IMP120-17
*Proof Pressure: The maximum pressure to which a pressure sensor
may be occasionally subjected, which causes no permanent damage
(e.g., start-up testing). The unit may require re-gapping. (See Part
II- Adjustments)
**Over Range Pressure: The maximum pressure to which a pressure
sensor may be continuously subjected without causing damage and
maintaining set point repeatability.
***Working Pressure Range The pressure range within which two
opposing sensors can be safely operated and still maintain set point
repeatability.
THIS DEVICE DOES NOT HAVE ANY FIELD REPLACEABLE
PARTS. ANY SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR
SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I, DIVISION 1.
The 120 Series pressure and differential pressure switches are
actuated when a bellows, diaphragm or piston sensor responds to
a pressure change. This response at a pre-determined set point(s)
actuates a SPDT, DPDT or dual SPDT snap-acting microswitch(es),
which convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. Control
set point(s) may be varied by turning the internal adjustment hex
(J120 & J120K models) or the external knob and pointer(s) (H121,
H121K, H122, & H122K models, see picture above) according to the
procedures outlined. (See Part II - Adjustments)

BEFORE INSTALLING, CHECK THE SENSOR MODEL SELECTED
FOR COMPATIBILITY TO THE PROCESS MEDIA IN CONTACT
WITH THE SENSOR AND WETTED PARTS.
TO PREVENT IGNITION OF HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES,
DISCONNECT SUPPLY CIRCUITS BEFORE OPENING. KEEP
COVER TIGHT WHILE CIRCUITS ARE ENERGIZED.
PROOF PRESSURE* LIMITS STATED IN THE LITERATURE
AND ON NAMEPLATE MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED, EVEN BY
SURGES IN THE SYSTEM. OCCASIONAL OPERATION OF DEVICE
UP TO MAXIMUM PRESSURE IS ACCEPTABLE (E.G., START-UP, TESTING).
CONTINUOUS OPERATION SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE DESIGNATED
OVER RANGE PRESSURE** OR WORKING PRESSURE RANGE***.
Please read all instructional literature carefully and thoroughly before starting. Refer to the final page for the listing of Recommended
Practices, Liabilities and Warranties.
