37Using an Electronic Pressure Switch for Purge ControlThe best choice if using a pressure switch is to select anelectronic programmable type pressure switch which iseffectively a pressure transmitter and process controllerbuilt into one device. While significantly more costly thana standard pressure switch, an electronic programmablepressure switch can be setup to provide a much morecustomized operation. Typically, the dead band can bereduced or eliminated so that an immediate reaction tosystem pressure in system indicating air flow, canbe obtained.Section 7: Energy ManagementFigure 7.6 Electronic pressure switch for purge control (LED Controller)37PRODRY PD0046 - PD0360 Instruction Manual | Walker Filtration |signal)Using an electronic pressure switch for purge controlThe best choice if using a pressure switch is to select anelectronic programmable type pressure switch which iseffectively a pressure transmitter and process controllera standard pressure switch, an electronic programmablepressure switch can be setup to provide a much morecustomised operation.
