Description
The Cleveland Controls DFS-243 is a fixed-setpoint SPDT air flow switch engineered for reliable airflow detection in HVAC, combustion, and ventilation systems. Designed to operate on pressure rise, this switch provides a dependable switching signal when airflow is confirmed — making it an essential safety and control component in a wide range of heating and air handling applications.
How It Works
The DFS-243 monitors differential air pressure and activates its SPDT output when pressure rises to the factory-fixed setpoint of .05″ w.c. (±.02″ w.c.). This pressure-rise operation ensures the switch confirms positive airflow before allowing downstream equipment to energize, supporting safe and efficient system operation.
Key Features
- SPDT (Single-Pole, Double-Throw) switching action for versatile control wiring
