United Electric 400 Series Differential Pressure / Temperature Switch

ABLE Instruments are United Electric’s Exclusive Representative for Sales and Service in the UK and Ireland, including the 400 Series. Simple to install and operate the UE 400 series provides end-users multi-output alarm, safety and emergency shutdown functionality. It carries global agency certification and as an electromechanical switch, it can safely operate independently of the control system and switch reliably when called upon, free from potential communication errors or cyber concerns.

The United Electric 400 Series is a versatile family of vacuum, pressure, differential pressure and temperature switches for applications that require single or multiple switching capabilities. Dual and triple switch versions provide multi-output for alarm and shutdown, pre-alarm and alarm, high/low limit or level staging functions. A wide variety of microswitch and process connection options, along with a weather-tight enclosure, make the UE 400 Series an ideal choice for most ordinary location applications. Its global use is assured with approvals and certifications to agency standards. Widely used throughout the process industries, the United Electric 400 Series provides threshold protection and control for many critical functions. Typical installations are found in industrial gas production, energy generation including pumps, turbines and compressors, pulp and paper, and water and wastewater treatment.

Features:

  • Low and/or high limit alarm and safety shutdown via one, two or three independent switches, separated up to 100% of range
  • Quick and easy installation with ample access to wiring compartment and simple set point adjustment using reference dial or calibrated gauge
  • Application versatility achieved through a variety of ranges, microswitches, sensors and process connections
  • Replaces a switch and a gauge in differential pressure applications when using optional visual indication
  • 1, 2 & 3 switch outputs
  • Optional ATEX or EAC intrinsic safety compliance
  • Wide variety of pressure sensors and materials
