| Deadband/Hysterisis/Differential are all terms used to describe the difference between when a switch activates and when it resets. Because of the mechanics of the micro-switch this is seldom at the same setting. Some of our switches have fixed deadbands (Series PMM, VCM, TB) and others have limited adjustable deadbands (Series PSM, PSP, VSM). |
| Set Point is the setting at which the switch will activate. Series TB is the only switch that does not have an adjustable range for selecting the set point. |
