AA...
C2 Differential Air Pressure Switch
Installation Instructions
SPECIFICATIONS
AA...C2 SPDT Differential pressure switch in pressure and vacuum ranges. The differential pressure acts via the diaphragm
against the force of the setting spring on the microswitch. The pressure switch operates without any auxiliary power.

WIRING
• Remove the clear cover from the switch.
• Use 14 or 16 AWG wire rated for at least 75°C. AA...C2 switching function
• Route the wires through the conduit connector. As pressure rises:
• Connect the wiring to the appropriate screw terminals. 1 NC opens, 2 NO closes
• Replace the clear cover. As pressure falls:
1 NC closes, 2 NO opens
CAUTION: All wiring must comply with local electri-
cal codes, ordinances and regulations.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the switch ratings given in
the specifications and on the switch.
OPERATION
