BACKGROUND
The Qualitrol Series The 148 series pressure and vacuum switches are designed to provide operating
control, limit, or alarm functions for any pressure application whose media and environment are compatible
with the component materials, and require a waterproof, dust tight and corrosion resistant enclosure for
indoor and outdoor application.
INSTALLATION:
The Qualitrol pressure vacuum switch can be mounted in any orientation, but we recommend
mounting it vertically as shown. If the unit is being mounted in a cabinet you can use two ¼” [6mm]
self tapping screws located 4.63” [117.6mm] apart. If you are mounting to the side of the
transformer tank use weld studs instead with nuts and washers. After the switch is mounted it
needs it has to be connected to the gas space on top of the transformer oil through the use of pipes..
The piping should be attached to the 3/8 NPT opening on the bottom of the gauge. Make sure to use
either Teflon tape of pipe sealant on the threads to ensure a good seal. To wire the gauge remove
the four screws holding the cover in place. Install a 1/2-14 cable grip on the right side of the case.
Loosen the cap on the grip and install your cable through the gland. Strip back about 4” [100mm] of
the out cable jacket and ¼” [6.3mm] on the individual wires. Twist the wire together and install crimp
on lugs if required. Loosen the upper screws on the terminal block and wire it per the schematic on
the model drawing. Tighten down the screws and then reinstall the cover.
