Design
The pressure switch is screwed to a universal plate. The component is fitted onto the slotted profile plate using the locking system with the
blue lever (fitting version "A"). The component can be moved in the direction of the slot.

Function
The pressure switch is a piezo-resistive relative pressure transducer with integrated amplifier and built-in temperature compensation. The
pressure to be measured is transferred to a piezo-resistive element via a silicone layer. The signal change generated in the element is output
as a switching signal at the connector plug via an integrated amplifier.
The pressure sensor has one supply port. The switching status is indicated by a yellow LED.
