Description
Series 200 Pressure Switches is a SWITZER mainstream Precise and accurate operation is obtained by using time
product range for switching upto 75 bar and includes models proven seamless hydraulically formed bellows. Setpoint is
for vacuum, compound and millibar ranges and high overload continuously adjustable over the instrument range. A scale is
protection. provided for approximate switch setting.

Model
This is the basic pressure switch actuated by a seamless bellows having
close fixed non-adjustable switching differential.–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––201
Same as 201, but with auxiliary mechanism permitting switching differential
adjustment between 8–15% min. to 60% max. without disturbing the
falling set point.–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––203
A variant of series 200, employs twin levers each operating a SPDT microswitch
actuated by a single sensor through a unique linkage thereby providing
two independent adjustable setpoints, each with its own setting scale,
spring and switch. Minimum separation between setpoints must be more than
sum of on-off differentials; or 10% of FSR whichever is higher.–––––––––––––––––––––––––––281
