SOR weatherproof pressure switches are designed to be weather-tight for external use. They are built to stand up to the rigors of the environment and provide long-lasting and dependable service. Diaphragm type switches are recommended for most process applications while pivot seal type weatherproof pressure switches perform best in fluid power (hydraulic) applications.

Adjustable Dead Band – Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Dual Hi-Lo – Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Models: V1
Ranges: 5 to 1750 psi
Certifications: Unit: CSA, RTN, SIL
Warranty: 3 Years

he SOR V1 adjustable dead band weatherproof pressure switch is the low-cost alternative to its explosion proof counterpart. It is best used in non-hazardous locations where a wide, adjustable dead band between set points is required. The switch incorporates two industry-proven static o-ring pressure sensing elements. Media pressure on the areas of the pistons counteracts the forces of the independently adjustable piston springs and moves the piston shafts to operate the lever assembly, which in turn, actuates and de-actuates the electrical switching element.

  • Field adjustable
  • Narrow and wide adjustable dead band
  • May be used outdoors or indoors

Bourdon Tube – Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Bourdon Tube – Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Models: 401RN
Ranges: 1000 to 10,000 psi
Warranty: 3 Years

Lower cost than our weatherproof model, the SOR 401RN model bourdon tube weatherproof pressure switch is well-suited for high pressure applications in non-hazardous locations, particularly when high repeatability and narrow dead band are required. Wetted materials of 316SS provide excellent resistance to corrosive media. An integral snubber protects the pressure-sensing assembly from pressure surges.

  • Rugged construction
  • Easily adjustable set point

Dual Hi-Lo – Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Dual Hi-Lo – Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Models: V1
Ranges: 30 in Hg VAC to 4000 psi, 1 bar VAC to 275 bar
Certifications: Unit: CSA, RTN, SIL
Warranty: 3 Years

The SOR weatherproof pressure switch is the lower cost alternative to the explosion proof model. It employs two discrete sensing assemblies that provide independent, adjustable, fine resolution set points that can be calibrated to the same actuation point or split to the full span of the adjustable range without interaction.

The Dual Hi-Lo is popular for use in alarm systems configured to signal at a minimum and/or maximum pressure. The V1 is field adjustable making it a convenient choice for a wide variety of applications.

  • Dual set points
  • Ranges from 30 in Hg vacuum to 4000 psi
  • Set point adjustment with calibrated scale

Omni Weatherproof Pressure Switch

OEM Pressure Switches

Omni Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Models: Omni
Ranges: 7 to 7000 psi, 0.5 to 480 bar
Certifications: Unit: RTN, SIL
Warranty: 3 Years

Designed to provide protection from the elements, SOR’s Omni weatherproof pressure switches are available in two switch configurations – diaphragm for most applications and pivot seal type for hydraulic applications where high shock pressures and cycle rates are expected. These small, compact, low cost switches are often used in OEM applications.

  • Environmentally sealed snap switches – NEMA 4 approved
  • Aluminum with corrosion-resistant chromate conversion coating
  • Ranges from 7 to 7000 psi
  • Diaphragm and pivot seal models

Pivot Seal – Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Pivot Seal – Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Models: Various
Ranges: 100 to 7000 psi (7 to 480 bar)
Certifications: Unit: CE, CSA, INMETRO, RTN, SIL
Warranty: 3 Years

The weatherproof SOR pivot seal pressure switch makes sense when you need protection from the elements but do not require the more expensive explosion proof model.

The pressure sensing element of the pivot seal pressure switch is a force-balance, piston-actuated assembly sealed by an o-ring. As with all SOR pressure switches, the actual motion of the piston to actuate the micro switch is only several thousandths of an inch, resulting in minimal o-ring wear. Media pressure on the area of the piston counteracts the force of the range spring (adjustable by the adjusting nut screw) and moves the piston shaft and the force transmitter to directly actuate the electrical snap-action switching element.

  • Designed for high pressure fluid power (hydraulic) applications
  • Able to withstand high-shock pressures
  • Perfect for high cycle rates

Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Weatherproof Pressure Switch

Models: NN, N3, N4, N6, PP, P3
Ranges: 30 in Hg VAC to 7000 psi, 1 bar VAC to 480 bar
Certifications: Unit: CE, CSA, INMETRO, RTN, SIL
Warranty: 3 Years

The SOR weatherproof pressure/vacuum/compound pressure switch is one of our most popular instruments. Models with standard wetted parts are normally ideal for air, oil and non-corrosive process applications however; we can build one to handle corrosive requirements. At the heart of the this mighty SOR pressure switch is a force-balanced, piston-actuated assembly with the sensing element sealed by a flexible diaphragm and a static “o” ring. A wide variety of wetted parts are available and a metal diaphragm can be welded to the pressure port thereby eliminating the o-ring.

  • Low cost general purpose workhorse
  • Set it and forget it dependability
  • Ranges from 30 in Hg vacuum to 7000 psi
  • Set point adjustable with calibrated scale
