Product Description
Process pressure acts on the switch’s internal sensing mechanism. When pressure reaches the selected setting, the electrical contacts change state, producing an alarm or controlling connected machinery.
The published 300 kgf/cm² value is the unit’s maximum-pressure marking, while its adjustment scale is marked 0–30 with a ×10 multiplier. The precise operating setpoint and contact action should be confirmed from the original unit before replacement.
