Murphy PSB - Manual

PSB-9104B page 1 of 2
Description
The PSB switch is a direct mount switch for
critical pressure points. It has one limit
contact that can be used to activate an alarm,
actuate indicator lights or shutdown
equipment.
The construction of this instrument is the
same as our time-proven Swichgage
®
instrument. A precision machined brass
mounting plate and port captures a high
quality stamped beryllium copper
diaphragm. The single-pole, double-throw
(SPDT) snap-switch is operated directly
from the diaphragm for quick acting and
positive switching. Trip point is factory
preset according to your specifications.
Housing is weather sealed to prevent entry of
moisture, dust, etc. A glass-filled nylon
terminal block with quick screw terminal
connections gives the PSB switch a real
advantage in industrial engine applications.
The PSB is ideal when reading is not desired,
but pressure is critical to operational
efficiency.
Intended for use in general purpose non-
classified areas.
