LPS-S1 Diaphragm-Type Pressure Switch

Suitable for measuring the pressure of liquids, gases, or steam, this device compares the measured pressure value with a setpoint to trigger high- and low-limit alarms. The output signal is a passive dry-contact relay (SPDT). Common applications include: 1. Start/stop control for air compressors; 2. High- and low-pressure alarm systems in pipelines, as well as interlocked pump start/stop mechanisms. The pressure switch directly outputs an on/off signal, offering functionality equivalent to that of a pressure transmitter combined with PLC/control instrumentation for switch-based control. With its simple design, it excels in local control scenarios within compact automation systems. This product features the following characteristics:
● Fully welded diaphragm, zero leakage
●Mechanical principle, no power supply required
● High-quality microswitch with minimal dead zone
● The process interface is versatile, and both flange and threaded connections can be customized.

Product Description

Product Overview Product overview

The LPS-S1 series diaphragm pressure switches feature a fully welded stainless steel diaphragm, leveraging mechanical deformation to precisely control the target pressure in automated control systems. This approach represents one of the simplest and most reliable pressure protection solutions available, with a design that is both straightforward and easy to use, minimizing potential failure points while effectively preventing leakage and false operations. Thanks to these outstanding advantages, this series of pressure switches is widely employed across various industries—including petroleum, chemical processing, metallurgy, power generation, sugar production, pharmaceuticals, and more—where precise pressure control is essential.

Measurement Principle   Principle

The diaphragm-type pressure switch is a mechanical pressure switch that uses the mechanical deformation of a diaphragm to control the closing or opening of electrical contacts. When the pressure of the measured medium changes, the diaphragm undergoes corresponding displacement. This displacement is then transmitted via a linkage mechanism to a microswitch. Once the displacement reaches a preset value, it actuates the microswitch, causing its contacts to either close or open—thus signaling the pressure level. Adjustable pressure switches allow users to fine-tune the relationship between the linkage mechanism and the microswitch contact travel, enabling precise pressure control either at a fixed value or within a specific range, thereby achieving the desired operational purpose.

Installation Requirements INSTALLATION

1. Weld the pressure-tapping pipe, and it’s best to install a shut-off valve on the pipe. Leave threaded connections corresponding to the switch, allowing for easy removal of the switch during maintenance.
2. Install the switch in a location with minimal vibration and temperature fluctuations. An appropriate installation spot can effectively prevent moisture from entering the housing. If the switch will be installed under harsh operating conditions, it must be mounted vertically (with the pressure connector facing downward). Please avoid installing it in environments outside the specified temperature range.
3. Special note: When installing or removing, never directly twist the outer casing to secure or detach the switch. Instead, use a wrench to tighten or loosen the connecting hexagonal (or flat) fitting at the joint.
