WIKA | PGS43.100, PGS43.160 Diaphragm Pressure Gauge with Switch Contacts

Wherever the process pressure has to be indicated locally, and, at the same time, circuits are to be made or broken, the model PGS43.1×0 switch GAUGE can be used.

Switch contacts (electrical alarm contacts) make or break an electric control circuit dependent upon the position of the instrument pointer. The switch contacts are adjustable over the full extent of the scale range (see DIN 16085), and are mounted predominantly below the dial, though also partly on top of the dial. The instrument pointer (actual value pointer) moves freely across the entire scale range, independent of the setting.
The set pointer can be adjusted using a removable adjustment key in the window.

Switch contacts consisting of several contacts can also be set to a single set point. Contact actuation is made when the actual value pointer travels beyond or below the desired set point.

The pressure gauge is manufactured in accordance with DIN 16085 and fulfils all requirements of the relevant standards (EN 837-3) and regulations for the on-site display of the working pressure of pressure vessels.
As switch contacts, magnetic snap-action contacts, reed switches, inductive contacts and electronic contacts are available. Inductive contacts can be used in hazardous areas. For triggering programmable logic controllers (PLC), electronic contacts and reed switches can be used

Applications: 

■ Control and regulation of industrial processes at measuring locations with increased overload and scale ranges from 0 … 25 mbar
■ Monitoring of plants and switching of circuits
■ For gaseous and liquid, aggressive and highly viscous or contaminated media, also in aggressive environments
■ Process industry: Chemical industry, petrochemical industry, power plants, mining, on-/offshore, environmental technology, machine building and general plant construction
