he Series 3000MR Photohelic® Switch/Gage combine the functions of a precise, highly repeatable differential pressure switch with a large easy-to-read analog pressure gage employing the durable, time-proven Magnehelic® gage design. Switch setting is easy to adjust with large external knobs on the gage face. Gage reading is unaffected by switch operation - will indicate accurately even if power is interrupted. Solid state design now results in greatly reduced size and weight. Units can be flush mounted in 4-13/16" hole or surface mounted with hardware supplied. 3000MR models employ versatile electromechanical relays with gold over silver contacts - ideal for dry circuits.
Gage accuracy is ±2% of full scale and switch repeatability is ±1%. Switch deadband is one pointer width - less than 1% of full scale. Compatible with air and other non-combustible, non-corrosive gases, they can be used in systems with pressures to 25 psig.

Precise Dual Setpoint Control for Industrial ApplicationsThe Dwyer 3015MRS Photohelic provides immediate and accurate differential pressure measurement, coupled with adjustable dual setpoints using an external knob. This enables automatic control of processes such as air filter monitoring, airflow detection, and environmental safety in HVAC and cleanroom environments. The blend of visual analog readout and robust relay output streamlines both measurement and automated response, ensuring optimal protection and performance.
Durable Construction and User-Friendly DesignEngineered with an industrial die-cast aluminum case and polycarbonate lens, the 3015MRS stands up to demanding environments. Its NEMA Type 1 rating, Buna-N diaphragm and seals, and precise mechanical assembly ensure reliability and longevity. The large 4-1/2 inch dial with clear markings allows users to quickly interpret readings, while the kits included accessories simplify installation and setup.
FAQs of Dwyer 3015MRS Photohelic Switch/Gauge 0 to 15 inch:
Q: How do I adjust the setpoints on the Dwyer 3015MRS Photohelic Switch/Gauge?
A: Setpoints are adjusted using the conveniently located external knob on the front of the unit, allowing you to set and fine-tune two independent switching points without disassembly.
Q: What applications is the Dwyer 3015MRS suitable for?
A: This model is ideal for monitoring and controlling air and compatible gas pressure in HVAC systems, cleanrooms, filter banks, and airflow measurement applications, thanks to its reliable switching and measurement capabilities.
Q: When should the gauge be mounted vertically, and why?
A: For optimum accuracy and repeatability (1% of full scale), the unit should be installed in a vertical orientation as recommended by the manufacturer.
Q: Where are the pressure connections located, and what size are they?
A: The 3015MRS features 1/8 female NPT high and low pressure connections positioned on the gauge housing for secure and straightforward integration with air lines or compatible gas tubing.
Q: What benefit does the Photohelic differential switch/gauge offer over standard pressure gauges?
A: Apart from visual analog measurement, the Photohelic includes relay-based electrical switching for automated setpoint control, enhancing process safety and efficiency in critical ventilation and monitoring systems.
Q: How do I power the Dwyer 3015MRS device?
A: The standard power supply requirement is 120 VAC at 50/60 Hz, though other voltage options are available upon request.
Q: What is included with the gauge for installation?
A: Each unit ships with a mounting bracket, two plastic tubing ferrules, and user instructions, simplifying panel or surface installation in your system.
