See Installation and Operation Manual  IM121elec

Mid-West Instrument switches are mechanically adjustable allowing customer to set the switch within a defined adjustment span of range of the instrument. All configurations have a ½” FNPT conduit interface. Mid-West can also pre-set switch set point(s) upon customer request. All Switches are CE marked per EU Low Voltage and RoHS Directive.

Mid-West Instrument 121 indicating / non-indicating differential pressure transmitter is a 2 wire loop powered microprocessor based 4-20 mA transmitter. The magnetic angle sensor & electronics senses the angle (relative to the transmitter sensor) of the magnet which moves linearly in the bore. Each transmitter is individually calibrated to the gauge using an 11 point calibration linearization technique. Transmitter options can be CE marked for RoHS and EMC Directive upon request.
