Cleveland Controls AFS-222 Air Pressure Switch

Description

Product Overview

The Cleveland Controls AFS-222 is a precision‑engineered air pressure switch designed for demanding industrial environments. Constructed with high‑conductivity copper and brass contacts, the device ensures low resistance and long‑term reliability even under frequent cycling. Its SPDT (single pole double throw) configuration provides clear, normally‑open operation, while the IP54 rating safeguards internal components from dust ingress and water splashes, extending service life in harsh conditions. Measuring 7.09 x 6.3 x 8.27 inches and weighing just 1.32 pounds, the switch offers a compact footprint that fits easily into tight panels and control cabinets. The push‑button actuator delivers tactile feedback for manual testing, and the screw‑type connector simplifies wiring and maintenance.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of applications, the AFS-222 excels in HVAC systems where precise air pressure monitoring is critical for maintaining comfortable indoor climates. It also serves industrial automation, energy‑management installations, and general‑purpose control panels that require reliable automatic switching based on pressure changes. The switch operates automatically within a pressure setting range of 0.05 to 12.0 inches WC, making it suitable for low‑pressure pneumatic circuits as well as higher‑pressure processes. Its temperature tolerance from –40 °F to 180 °F ensures dependable performance in both refrigerated environments and hot plant floors. Whether mounted on a wall, panel, or enclosure, the device’s robust construction tolerates vibration and shock, reducing downtime in mission‑critical systems.
