Applications
The Model SDA may be used to automatically close a critical valve
when line pressure goes outside preset limits – high or low. When
pressures return to normal, the pilot sends a signal that permits the
valve to open.
The pilot is available with one or two output ports, separate inputs and
manual reset on high, low, or both high and low. This makes it
adaptable to a wide variety of control functions.
Figure 1. Model SDA pilot mounted in it’s weathertight case.
This model is available in an enclosed weather-tight case (35)‡, or as a
complete module ready for mounting inside another panel or console. Setting dials – standard dual-scale graduations correspond to
pressure sensor ranges as shown on the selection chart (Figure 2).
Options Pressure sensing ranges – from 6 to 10,000 PSI (0.4 to 690 bars)
within model designations as specified in Figure 2.
Mounting – can be mounted on either vertical or horizontal pipe.
Brackets are available in fiberglass or 316 SS unistrut for mounting. Extreme corrosive applications – SDA models with the sense
elements made from special materials are available upon request.
Porting – the base plate is supplied with center sensed connection
(standard) and/or separate output connection.
Principle of Operation
Manual reset – mechanical lockout on either high or low setting, or
both, is available. This feature allows the operator to check the cause Two pressure sensing elements, one for high pressure and one for low

element employs a lever pivoting on a virtually friction-free scale knife
Pressure gauges – dual-scale indicating PSI and bars, (available in edge. A precisely calibrated spring trapped between a retaining bracket
