1. PRODUCT INFORMATION

1.1 FUNCTION

The OPS, Over-Pressure Switch, is an adjustable differential 

pressure switch.  It is used in conjunction with the ENERVEX 

MODSTM, Modulating Over-Draft Damper System for over-

pressure protection. If excessive pressure builds up between 

the boiler outlet and the system damper, the switch will shut 

down the heating appliance, while the EBC 31 control unit 

drives the damper completely open to relieve the pressure. 

The differential pressure acts via diaphragm against the force 

of setting spring on the microswitch. The pressure switch 

operates without any auxiliary power.
The OPS monitors differential pressure in firing and venitlation 

systems.  The switch is suitable for air, flue and exhaust 

gases and can be mounted in the horizontal or vertical 

position.
The switch housing and the internal switch are made of 

polycarbonate. The diaphragm is made of NBR (silicone), 

while the switching contact is made in fine silver.
•  CE Approved
