Dwyer AT3A3000 Photohelic Switch/Gages functions as versatile, highly repeatable pressure switches combined with a precise pressure gauge employing the time-proven Magnehelic® gage design. The Photohelic® switch/ gage measures and controls positive, negative, or differential pressures of air and compatible gases. Standard models are rated to 25 psig (1.7 bar) with options to 35 psig (2.4 bar) or 80 psig (5.5 bar).
Two phototransistors actuated, DPDT relays are included for low/high limit control. Easy to adjust set point indicators are controlled by knobs located on the gage face (accessible opening case after de-energizing instrument). Set points can be interlocked to provide variable dead band– ideal for control of fans, dampers, etc
Dwyer AT3A3000 Photohelic Features
- 3-in-1 ATEX approved instrument allows the reduction of several instruments with one product, saving inventory, installation time and money
- Flame-proof ATEX enclosure with optional glass window and aluminum housing protects the device in hazardous areas while giving local visibility to process pressure and set point status
Application
- Hazardous area pressure measurement and switching
- Air conditioning systems
- Clean rooms
- Fume exhaust systems
Important Notes for Installation
- Cables must be fitted through 1/2″ NPT cable gland or ATEX/IECEx conduit (not supplied with instrument).
- Make sure after cabling to close tight cover and cable gland, in order to keep IP66 rating (IP65 with option OPV, overpressure relief valve).
- Open cover only after de-energizing instrument.
- Attention: Check local safety rules and warnings on unit and manual for a correct use of the instrument in hazardous area.
