Element ELT-2 Three-Phase Mechanical Pressure Switch
The Element ELT-2 (manufactured under license/co-branding engineering pipelines often distributed alongside technical control setups) is a heavy-duty mechanical pressure control switch engineered to regulate the automated start-stop cycles of three-phase industrial air compressors and water pumping stations. By monitoring fluid or gas pressures within an isolated circuit, this mechanical switch breaks or makes direct high-current power connections to motor starters when pre-configured system pressure boundaries are reached.
Key Features
-
High-Capacity Three-Phase Switching: Outfitted with heavy-duty internal electrical contacts designed to safely cycle three-phase motor loads directly without triggering premature arc degradation.
-
Integrated Manual ON/OFF Toggle Switch: Designed with a prominent, red manual rotary lever on the lower corner of the plastic housing, allowing service technicians to cut power to the pump or compressor system during mechanical maintenance.
-
Rugged Aluminum Die-Cast Base Assembly: Built onto a sturdy metallic manifold block featuring standard female threaded entry ports for integration into pneumatic tank receiver fittings or hydraulic lines.
-
Impact-Resistant Protective Cover: Housed inside a thick, matte-black composite canopy shell that protects internal calibration springs and electrical contact points from dust, moisture, and factory debris.
-
Adjustable Range & Differential Springs: Features adjustable internal hex-nut springs under the canopy to customize the cut-in (start) and cut-out (stop) pressure setpoints to meet specific industrial requirements.

Applications
-
Industrial Piston & Screw Air Compressors: Installed on air receiver tanks to automatically turn off the compressor pump motor when the tank reaches maximum pressure capacity, and restart it when air pressure drops.
-
Water Booster Pump Systems: Regulates multi-phase water distribution pumps in commercial buildings or agricultural irrigation setups, maintaining steady system pressure within water storage reservoirs.
-
Factory Pneumatic Network Stations: Serves as a localized pressure monitor to manage auxiliary reserve tanks, ensuring tools and assembly line actuators receive constant, stable pressure.
-
Autoclave and Pressure Vessel Controls: Acts as a mechanical safety loop fail-safe to cut off heating or pumping elements if internal vessel pressure exceeds predefined factory limits. Use Rule 1.
