Cleveland Controls DFS-221-228 Air Flow Switch Overview
The Cleveland Controls DFS-221-228 is a reliable SPDT (Single-Pole, Double-Throw) air flow switch engineered for precise detection of air movement in HVAC, combustion, and ventilation systems. Designed to operate on pressure rise, this switch activates at a fixed setpoint of .05″ ± .02″ w.c. (water column), making it ideal for proving fan or blower operation before allowing downstream equipment to energize.
Key Features
- SPDT switching action for versatile control circuit integration
- Fixed setpoint: operates on pressure rise at .05″ ± .02″ w.c.
- Wide voltage compatibility: 120–277Vac
- 1/4″ barbed connections for easy tubing attachment
- Maximum pressure rating: 1/2 PSI
- Compatible with air and combustion by-products that will not degrade silicone
- Compact, durable design suited for commercial and light industrial HVAC applications
