Overview
What it is
The D3 series is Bircher’s second pressure wave switch design. It has a two-hole baseplate, adjustable set pressure and a changeover contact, and converts the air pulse from a pressed pneumatic profile into an electrical signal.
What it is used for
Pneumatic safety edges and pressure-sensitive profiles on vehicle doors, gates, roller doors and barriers, where a changeover contact or wider current range than DW40 is needed.
Key features
- Response pressure 2 mbar, maximum pressure 500 mbar.
- Changeover switch for 6 to 250 V AC or 6 to 50 V DC, 1 to 1,000 mA resistive.
- Mechanical service life 10 million switching operations.
- Ambient temperature -30 to +80 °C.
- Two versions: D3-P, and D3-PB with sealed pressure equalisation valve.
Buying considerations
D3-P is also sold pre-fitted in the GEHD3K1 snap-in housing as D3-PK1 (IP54). Choose D3-PB where the equalisation valve must be sealed.
Installation considerations
The D3-P K1 mounting instructions call for the hose to be fully pushed onto the connecting piece without kinks, and include a drilling template. Hoses are 2/4 mm, up to 10 m to the switch.
Compatibility
Works with Bircher DWS pneumatic profiles and the Bircher range of hoses and connection pieces.

Questions about this product
What is the difference between D3-P and D3-PB?
Both are D3-series switches where pressure actuates the switch. On D3-PB the pressure equalisation valve is sealed, according to the Bircher brochure.
Is there a housed version?
Yes. Bircher lists D3-PK1 (article 209869), a D3-P fitted in the impact-resistant snap-in housing GEHD3K1.
