New High Pressure Sensor Kit Now Available

Franklin Electric is proud to introduce a high-pressure sensor, adjustable from 75 to 150 psi (5.2 – 10.3 bar) available January 24, 2012.

This high-pressure sensor is designed for applications required to pump water for long runs or higher elevations/lifts and is designed to work with the following Franklin Electric drives:

- SubDrive75                    – Inline 1100
- SubDrive100                  – Inline CP
- SubDrive150                  – MonoDrive
- SubDrive300                  – MonoDriveXT
- SubDrive2W

Caution:  Before installing verify tank rating with manufacturer to ensure the tank is compatible with higher pressures. The pressure sensor will produce higher pressures that are not suitable for residential applications. Consult Franklin Electric’s SubDrive/MonoDrive Installation Manual (M1560) for further instructions, warnings, codes, necessary precautions and additional guidelines.

If you have any questions regarding Franklin Electric’s drives and controls, or any of our water pressure solution products, please contact your Franklin Electric Territory Manager, Field Service Engineer, or Technical Service Hotline.
