IPS Series
Industrial pressure switch IPS Series, is an electromechanical device that senses changes in pressure and provides electrical contact closure at predetermined values. IPS pressure switch may be used to energize an alarm or may directly control the process by cycling pumps, shifting valves etc. IPS is the most economic device in our wide range of pressure switches. The construction is simple, yet sturdy. The mechanism is enclosed in a dust proof mild steel casing and all parts are rust proofed for long life. Range and Differential values can be set independently and the device has clearly read out setting scale.

Operating Function
Industrial Pressure Switch (IPS) is an electromechanical device that senses changes in pressure and provides electrical contact closures at predetermined pressure values
IPS Pressure Switch may be used to energize an alarm or may directly control the process by cycling pumps, shifting valves etc. In an alarm application, the switch protects valuable equipment by signaling an alarm. In direct control application, the switch can be linked electrically to other equipment.
Applications
IPS Pressure Switches are meant for use with oil, water, air, steam and other non corrosive pressure mediums. They are not designed for use with any refrigerant gases.
IPS Pressure Switches are used on a wide variety of applications which include pumps, compressors, turbines, lubrication systems & condensers to name a few.
Setting
The adjustment knobs are conveniently located on top surface of the control. The switch can be set to operate at desired pressure values by adopting following procedure
Decide the maximum pressure at which the switch has to changeover.
Decide the differential at which the control has to operate.
First set the maximum changeover pressure on the range scale. This can be done by removing the knob and turning the range spindle.
Next set the differential on the differential scale with the help of the differential spindle
Check the maximum and minimum changeover pressures with a master gauge.
Setting
On the inside of the front cover, a diagram as shown under is stamped.
Terminal designations 1, 2 & 3 are engraved on the transparent cover of the electrical contact system.
The electrical circuit is maintained between contacts 2–1 under normal conditions. The contacts change over to 2–3 on rise of pressure to preset value.Since the electrical contact is of SPDT type, it can be used for reverse applications also.
Mounting
The pressure control can be mounted on a wall or panel by means of mounting holes provided at the back of the device
