The model PGS21.050 switch GAUGE with VdS-certification is a combination of a Bourdon tube pressure gauge and a pressure switch. It offers the usual analogue display, which can be read on-site irrespective of the power supply, and in addition the possibility to switch a potential-free electrical signal.

The switch point is factory-set to customer requirements (in line with the switch points approved by VdS) and indicated on the dial by a red mark pointer. Depending on the pressure gauge’s pointer position, the circuit will be opened or closed. Thus the switch GAUGE can be used actively for process monitoring, for example to control the level of a gas cylinder or a hydraulic circuit.

For the model PGS21.050-VdS switch GAUGE, approval from VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH in accordance with DIN EN 12094-10 has been achieved. Among experts within the fire protection industry, this approval is increasingly being recognised as an important safety feature and creates confidence among producers and operators of fire protection systems. With the offer of VdS approved pressure measuring instruments, WIKA is supporting its customers in the fire protection industry to fulfill the criteria required by authorities and insurance companies.

The model PGS21.050 switch GAUGE offers an increased ingress protection of IP 65 and exceeds the demands of EN 12094-10.
