Series H2 Dual-Action Explosion-proof Pressure Switches
Explosion-proof and Weatherproof Enclosure
Explosion-Proof, UL & CSA Listed for Class I, Groups B, C & D and Class II, Groups E, F & G. The Series H2 Dual-Action Explosion-Proof Pressure Switch is designed for sequencing two different actions as pressure of a liquid or gas increases or decreases. The design consists of two concentric pistons operated by a single diaphragm with one pressure chamber. Each piston actuates a separate switch independent of the other. The switches may be adjusted to operate together, at opposite ends of the range or at two intermediate set points. The threaded top is removed to field adjust or service switches without disturbing electrical or pressure connections. The Duotect® switch is explosion-proof and weatherproof. It can be mounted in any position and is not affected by vibration.

Questions
- Question
- Can the standard H2 pressure switch be used with water?
- Answer
- No. The brass or SS housing must be specified for compatibility reasons. The aluminum housing can leak into the switch.
- Question
- For which pressure switch applications are gold contacts recommended?
- Answer
- For "dry circuit" applications where little or no current is flowing in the circuit to help burn off contact dirt and oxidation. Switches used with solid state circuits often fall in this category.
