Pressure switch and Thermostat

CAS

The CAS Series consists of a series of pressure

controlled switches and temperature controlled
switches. In this series, special attention has been
given to meeting demands for a high level of
enclosure, robust and compact construction and
resistance to shock and vibration.
The series is suitable for use in alarm and
regulation systems in factories, diesel plants,
compressors, power stations and on board ships.

Features • A high level of enclosure • Resistance to shock and vibration

• Fixed differential • Available with all major marine approvals
• Robust and compact construction

Approvals CE-marked in accordance with LVD 2006/95/EC EN 60947-1, EN-60947-4-1, EN 60947-5-1

Ship approvals American Bureau of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, DNV
