Pressure Switch Goes Wireless

In process applications that require a relay to close or open at a given pressure, i.e., tank farms, pipelines, in-plant, and other industrial environments, the AWI-PS wireless pressure switch allows users to collect real-time data and realize cost savings by eliminating hard wiring. The bellows pressure-sensing elements in the component employ a 316 stainless steel construction and offer adjustable pressure ranges from 0 to 5,000 psi. The design employs what the company calls a unique and sensitive switching mechanism that results in long life, repeatability, and lower dead bands. Available in battery and ac-powered versions, the switch includes the transmitter with integral pressure switch, DIN-rail mount receiver, and power source. Additionally, it requires no programming or special set up. For more information or product literature, call George Davet at SOLON MANUFACTURING CO., Chardon, OH. (800) 323-9717.
