LPS-C1 Diaphragm Differential Pressure Switch

Suitable for differential pressure measurement in both explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof areas, this device compares the measured pressure difference with a set value to trigger high- and low-limit alarms. The output signal is a passive dry-contact relay (SPDT). Common applications include: 1. Filter clogging prevention control; 2. Differential pressure balancing control between two vessels. The pressure switch directly outputs a dry-contact signal, enabling functionality equivalent to that of a pressure transmitter combined with PLC/control instrumentation for switch-based control. With its simple design, it excels in on-site control scenarios within compact systems. This product features the following key characteristics:
● Fully welded diaphragm, zero leakage
●Mechanical principle, no power required
● High-quality microswitch with minimal dead zone
● The process interface is versatile, and both flanges and threads can be customized.

Product Description

Product Overview Product overview

The LPS-C1 series differential pressure switches feature a diaphragm-type differential pressure sensing element. The standard model can accurately control the pressure difference of non-corrosive gases, liquids, or steam, while the explosion-proof version is suitable for monitoring pressure differences in environments containing explosive gas mixtures classified as IIA, IIB, or IIC, with temperature groups ranging from T1 to T6. With its fully welded stainless steel diaphragm design, these switches are simple to use, highly reliable, and prone to fewer failures—effectively preventing leakage and false operations. Additionally, the setpoint is adjustable, requiring no separate power supply, and the contact capacity is robust, making them convenient for on-site applications. They are widely used across industries such as petroleum, chemical processing, metallurgy, power generation, sugar production, pharmaceuticals, and other sectors that demand precise differential pressure control.

Measurement Principle   Principle

A 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 a 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 at either 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.
