Product Overview
The 061B110766 (061B110766) is a professional-grade industrial pressure switch engineered for precise monitoring and control within low-pressure and vacuum systems. Featuring a high-sensitivity bellows sensing element, this switch is designed to provide reliable switching logic for applications ranging from -0.20 to 1.00 bar. Its robust construction makes it an essential safety and regulation component in industrial boiler systems, HVAC climate control, and fluid management infrastructures. The 061B110766 is encased in an IP65-rated housing, ensuring total protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, maintaining operational integrity even in challenging mechanical room environments where moisture and debris are prevalent.
Technical Configuration
The 061B110766 utilizes a modular mechanical design to ensure compatibility with standard industrial piping and electrical layouts:
-
Bellows Sensing Technology: The internal stainless steel or copper alloy bellows provide superior repeatability and a low deadband, ideal for detecting minute pressure fluctuations in vacuum or low-pressure gas lines.
-
Specialized Setting Range: Specifically calibrated for a range of -0.20 to 1.00 bar, allowing for accurate control in sub-atmospheric and near-atmospheric processes.
-
Industrial Connectivity: Equipped with a standard G-type threaded pressure connection and a Pg 11 electrical cable gland for secure, leak-proof integration.
-
High Maximum Working Pressure: While the switching range is low, the sensing element is designed to withstand a maximum working pressure (Pe) of up to 15.0 bar, preventing damage during system pressure tests or unexpected surges.

Technical FAQs
Can the 061B110766 be used for vacuum monitoring?
Yes. With a setting range starting at -0.20 bar, this switch is capable of monitoring partial vacuum conditions, making it suitable for vacuum pump control or air intake monitoring in combustion systems.
Is this switch suitable for outdoor installation?
The IP65 enclosure rating provides protection against rain and dust; however, for outdoor installations in extreme climates, a protective weather shield is recommended to prevent ice buildup on the bellows housing or UV degradation of the electrical seals.
What is the significance of the 15.0 bar Pe rating?
The Pe rating indicates the maximum static pressure the bellows can withstand without permanent deformation. Even though the switch operates at 1 bar, it can safely remain in a system that occasionally reaches 15.0 bar during maintenance or process spikes.
Engineering & Installation Guide
-
Mounting Orientation: To prevent the accumulation of condensate or debris within the bellows, it is recommended to mount the switch with the pressure connection facing downwards. If mounted horizontally, ensure the piping is sloped away from the device.
-
Electrical Sealing: To maintain the IP65 rating, the Pg 11 cable gland must be tightened according to the cable diameter used. Ensure the cable entry points downwards to create a "drip loop," preventing water from traveling along the cable into the terminal block.
-
Pulsation Damping: In systems where rapid pressure pulses or vibrations are present (such as near reciprocating pumps), install a capillary tube or a pressure snubber at the G-connection to protect the bellows sensing element from fatigue and premature failure.
