LPS - Air Flow Switch for Ducts

 FEATURES

  • Adjustable Switch Point
  • Micro Switch Rated to 15 Amps
  • Vertical or Horizontal Installation


GENERAL DESCRIPTION


LPS air flow switches are widely used to control flow setpoints in HVAC applications. In addition to being rugged, they have the added benefit of being inexpensive. The principle of operation is quite simple. Air flow exerts a force on a paddle, actuating a dust-tight microswitch. The switching point may be adjusted continuously within a wide range, making the LPS useful for a large variety of applications.

The instrument is factory set to switch at 195 FPM. To handle air velocities of more than 920 FPM, the paddle may be cut at a precalibrated mark. This automatically changes the factory set point to 490 FPM.
