Precision Measurement and Dual Switching in One InstrumentWith its integrated photoelectric sensor and gauge, the A3300-250PA delivers both real-time analog pressure readings and dual SPDT relay outputs. This allows users to monitor and automate pressure-dependent processes safely and efficiently, providing control flexibility over alarms, fans, or dampers in HVAC, cleanrooms, or industrial automation setups.
Designed for Industrial and Process ApplicationsEngineered for demanding environments, the A3300-250PA withstands maximum pressures up to 10 psi and operates reliably between 0C and 60C. Its die-cast aluminum housing, polycarbonate front cover, and robust sealing allow it to excel in dust-prone or moderately moist conditions, supported by its IP54 rated enclosure and external set point adjustment functionality.
FAQs of Dwyer A3300-250PA Photohelic Pressure Switch Gauge:
Q: How do I install the Dwyer A3300-250PA Photohelic Pressure Switch Gauge?
A: The A3300-250PA is designed for flush or panel mounting through a standard 4-inch panel hole. Secure the gauge using the included mounting hardware, ensure correct wiring connections via the screw terminals, and mount it vertically for optimal performance.
Q: What types of gases or media can be measured with this gauge?
A: This gauge is intended for low-pressure measurement of air or other non-corrosive gases. It is not compatible with liquids or corrosive media, as this may damage the sensor and housing.
Q: When should I use the dual SPDT relay set points?
A: Dual SPDT relay set points are useful when you need to control multiple devices or create high and low alarm thresholds. Set each relay to activate at your preferred pressure, controlling fans, alarms, or other systems based on real-time readings.
Q: Where can the A3300-250PA be typically used?
A: The gauge is suitable for industrial, commercial, and laboratory environments, such as HVAC systems, clean rooms, filter monitoring, or any low-pressure air monitoring applications that require reliable pressure indication and switching.
Q: What is the benefit of using external knobs for set point adjustment?
A: External set point knobs allow users to adjust pressure switch thresholds easily without opening the enclosure, providing quick tuning and minimizing process downtime.
Q: How does the instantaneous electronic response enhance usage?
A: The instantaneous (electronic) response of the gauge ensures immediate relay actuation when set points are reached, enabling precise and timely process control, crucial for sensitive applications like air handling and filtration systems.
