Pressure Switch
Model: 1381 and 1381V

Description
Type 1381 and 1381V pressure switches are used for monitoring
pressure to sound an alarm, operate a warning light or cut off an
electrical supply as soon as the pressure rises to the set point. Each
unit contains one double pole switch (common, normally open
and normally closed connections) activated by a diaphragm.
‘Standard Pressure Switch Wiring Instructions’ data sheet supplied
with each unit.

Set point adjustment

M3 Nylon Nut (5.5 Socket)

• Remove the four switch lid screws

• Remove the red electrical cover
• Tighten the nylon nut clockwise to reduce the pressure set point
• Loosen the nylon nut anticlockwise to increase the pressure set
point
• When the set point is achieved replace the red cover and re-fit
the lid
• Please write on the label the new set point and the re-set point
