WARNING

Please  read  this  installation  sheet  fully  and 
carefully.  The  PG20  Pressure  Guard  is  a  mains 
voltage  device.  Death  or  serious  injury  may 
result  if  this  product  is  not  correctly  installed 
and used.

INTRODUCTION

The PG20 Pressure Guard is a microprocessor controlled 
solid-state  pressure  switch.  It  is  designed  for  guarding 
pipework and equipment against over or under pressure. 
The PG20 features two adjustable trip points that can be 
independently  set  to  stop  a  pump  if  pressure  exceeds 
settable  levels.  The  low  level  trip  point  feature  has  an 
automatic  10-second  time  delay  buffer  built  in  to  allow 
normal  pressure  fluctuations  to  be  ignored.  System 
pressure can drop to below the low level trip point setting 
for  up  to  10  seconds  without  triggering  the  switch  and 
shutting down any equipment in the control circuit. The 
PG20 also has a fine tune zeroing adjustment that allows 
the  switch  to  be  calibrated  accurately  to  any  required 
pressure  within  its  range.  The  fine  tune  adjustment  dial 
can also be used to offset the entire operating range of 
the switch and to select pressure set points that may lie in 
between the main dial graduations of the switch.

WARNING

The  PG20  Pressure  Guard  is  water  resistant 
to  IP67.  This  rating  only  applies  if  the  clear 
control lid is in place and its two fixing screws 
fully tightened. The PG20 is not water resistant 
unless the clear lid is in place and fully secured. 
Always  replace  the  clear  lid  and  fully  tighten 
its  two  screws  after  making  changes  to  the 
settings. The PG20 may present a shock hazard 
and  death  or  serious  injury  may  result  if  water 
enters the PG20’s electrical housing. There are 
no user serviceable parts in this device. Under 
no  circumstances  should  the  main  housing  be 
opened. Warranty on this product is automatically 
void if the sealed body screws are opened.

IMPORTANT

This  installation  and  usage  information  sheet  must  be 
read  with  reference  to  the  specific  switch  model  being 
installed.  The  supply  voltage,  power  switching  capacity 
and  the  pressure  rating  of  the  switches  may  vary  from 
model to model and it is very important to understand the 
limitations of a specific model before installing it.

WARNING  SAFETY  NOTE:  In  the  interests  of  safety 
the  PG20  Pressure  Guard  must  NOT  be  used  in  hot 
water applications (>60ºC). The PG20 Pressure Guard 
is designed to operate at pressures up to 20 Bars (300 
psi) and must not be used in applications where either 
the static or dynamic pressure exceeds this rating.
