White Rodgers 770-1 User manual

Type 770-1 Air Switch
With SPDT Switch Action
(Responds to Positive, Negative, or Differential Pressure)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
The Type 770-1 has an SPDT switch that can be actu-
ated by a positive pressure, negative pressure, or a
differential of pressure. These features, plus its field ad-
APPLICATIONS
justable “operating range”, give this control unmatched
versatility on a wide variety of applications, some of
which are shown below.
P
Power Humidifiers
Switch permits unit to operate when-
ever there is proper air movement.
Electronic Air Cleaners
Switch permits power to cleaner
whenever blower of system is
operating
N
Natural Draft Boilers
Switch signals insufficient draft,
provides safety limit to stop firing
on lack of draft, starts again on suf-
ficient draft.
N
STACK
Induced Draft Boilers
Proves operation on I.D. fan by sam-
pling draft or air flow.
Shuts off firing equipment on fan
failure.
D
N
Duct Strip Heaters
Switch proves air movement across
heaters by positive pressure in front
of heater. Turns off heater to prevent
burn-out on insufficient air flow.
P
Process Drying
Switch monitors negative pressure to
stop conveyor or process, and pro-
vides alarm signal on fan failure.Ideal
for bulk chemicals, food processing,
grain drying.
N
Refrigeration Equipment
Switch responds to pressure drop
across refrigeration coils to signal
alarm condition or automatically initi-
ate or terminate defrost cycle.
D
Gas-Fired Units
Switch proves sufficient air flow before
permitting gas valve to open and igni-
tion to occur.
P
Forced Draft Boilers
Proves operation of blower by sam-
pling positive or negative pressures
for firing control and safety.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The air switch must be mounted to a vertical surface,
as shown in above drawings to assure that diaphragm
will be in a vertical plane.
SEE LAST PAGE FOR MOUNTING DIMENSIONS
WIRING
All wiring should be done according to local
and national electrical codes and ordinances.
NOTE
The SPDT switch can be actuated by a positive or
negative pressure, or by a differential of pressure. This
control is ideally suited for residential applications such
as Electronic Air Cleaners and Humidifiers, but it is
equally well suited for commercial installations, includ-
ing applications where alarm circuits are required.

3 Ways to Prove Filter on Positive Pressure
Positive static pressure Diff. across Flow is reduced
increases as the filter filter changes as filter
