Abstract
An indication displayed by a display unit included in a pressure switch is inverted and the respective setting functions of push-button switches are reversed when the operator is obliged to look at the display unit from a direction opposite a normal looking direction or when the pressure switch is installed in an inverted position. A mode setting push-button switch 113 is operated to turn the indication indicating a set pressure displayed by a display unit 116 through an angle of 180°, a function to increase the set pressure of a first push-button switch 111 is reversed and a function to decrease the set pressure of the second push-button switch 112 is reversed.
Claims1
A pressure switch comprising:
- a first push-button switch,
- a second push-button switch, a pressure sensor,
- a display unit for displaying a set pressure indication,
- a storage device storing programs, and
- a CPU that executes instructions specified by the programs, increases a set pressure when the first push-button switch is operated, decreases the set pressure when the second push-button switch is operated, makes the display unit display the set pressure and provides a detection signal upon the coincidence of a measured pressure measured by the pressure sensor with the set pressure;
- wherein an indication turning push-button switch is connected to the CPU, the CPU turns the set pressure indication displayed by the display unit through an angle of 180° and executes, when the indication turning push-button switch is operated, a program for reversing function of the first push-button switch to increase the set pressure when the first push-button switch is operated and for reversing function of the second push-button switch to decrease the set pressure when the second push-button switch is operated.
