Description

The Dwyer A3000 Photohelic Pressure Switch integrates a Magnehelic-type mechanical pressure gauge with dual high and low setpoint switches in a single unit. It measures low differential pressure using a diaphragm-based system and displays the value on a clear analog dial while simultaneously providing switch outputs for control functions. The setpoints are fully adjustable and allow users to trigger alarms or control equipment such as fans, dampers, or filters when pressure exceeds or drops below defined limits. This dual-function design eliminates the need for separate gauge and switch installations, reducing system complexity and cost.

In addition, the device features a rugged die-cast aluminum housing with a clear acrylic lens for durability and visibility in industrial environments. It offers reliable snap-action switching for consistent performance and long service life with minimal maintenance. The A3000 is suitable for panel mounting and supports a wide range of low-pressure scales, making it highly versatile for HVAC and process air monitoring applications. Its combination of indication and control in one compact instrument makes it a widely used solution in air management systems.
