DIETZ MODEL 103B

Vane Airflow Switch

The Model 103B is a simple, yet highly effective vane-operated device for detecting airflow. The switching element is a one piece beryllium copper snap action switch, enclosed in a plastic dust cover and fitted with aluminum mounting brackets. Mounted directly on an air duct, the switch actuates or deactuates when the vane is moved by the specified airflow velocity.

The Dietz Model 103B can be supplied with gold contacts for low voltage and current. The Model 103B-MF is treated to resist moisture and fungus.

FEATURES / BENEFITS

  • Vane-operated switch for airflow detection
  • Airflow ranges from 500–2,500 ft per min
  • Easy installation — mounts directly onto duct
  • Gold contacts option for low-current applications
  • Moisture & fungus resistance models available

APPLICATIONS

  • Forced air-cooled electronic equipment-guards against air failure due to:
    • Blocked air ducts
    • Dirty air filters or blocked cabinet louvers
    • Stalled blower motor
    • Blocked air intake or outlet
    • Loose blower wheel
    • Loose or ruptured flexible connecting tube between blower and tube support
    • Accidental phase reversal in three-phase motor supply line
