n Microswitch offered as a combination of movement and 4) Pressure switch can also be offered with chemical seal in
switch is procured from Internationally reputed vendor. weatherproof and flameproof cases.
n Microswitch assembly provides better switching accuracy 5) Surface mounted flameproof housing with chemical seal
and repeatability pressure gauge is available with capillary.
n Compact design. 6) Blow out disc not applicable for flameproof case

The parameters mentioned here are the standard specifications / values generally used for most of the process applications. Any other specification not
appearing here also can be provided as per customer requirement. For higher temperature services above 100°C, we recommend to provide suitable cooling
arrangement (Syphon, Cooling Tower, Impulse Tubing, Diaphragm Seal etc.)

 Indicating Pressure Switches
Inductive / Proximity / NAMUR Contacts

MODEL : IPSN
Inductive contacts may be used for almost all industrial applications, due to their proximity type of switching, their switching accuracy and
their long service life. Inductive contacts are given special preference for oil filled measuring instruments and in areas chemical,
petrochemical Industries, power plants, mining, Ships and nuclear plants.

Features
n Combination of indication and switching
n Completely fail-safe switching, even in explosion hazardous areas
n Switch setting between 10% & 90% of the range externally
n Weatherproof or Flameproof Versions
n Available with Diaphragm Seals of various Materials & Designs

Operating Principle
Inductive contacts work in a “non-contact” way. They are equipped with electrical distance sensors (proximity sensors) in accordance with
EN 60947-5-2. The proximity sensor (NAMUR) is having slot design. An electromagnetic field is concentrated between two axially opposed
coils. The switch operates when the aluminium control vane (flag) moved by the actual value pointer (main pointer which indicates the
Gauges reading on Dial) enters into the slot between the two coils of the control head. The control head is supplied with a DC voltage. When
the flag enters the slot in the control head, it increases its internal resistance, which subsequently cause change in the current which acts as
the input signal for the switching amplifier of the control unit.

The default settings of contacts shall be as follows:

Case-1: NO (Normally Open) - Contact makes when the Gauge Pointer approaches the set point in clockwise direction.
(i.e., Flag leaves control head)
Case-2: NC (Normally Closed) - Contact breaks when the Gauge Pointer approaches the set point in a clockwise direction.
(i.e., Flag enters control head)
