A pressure-operated NC switch opens under its documented actuation condition.

## What it represents

A pressure-operated NC switch opens under its documented actuation condition. Pressure threshold, reset behaviour and reference state are separate drawing annotations.

## How to read it

- Read the pressure direction from the selected switch specification.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

## Information to show or reference

- Identify pressure connection
- Record operate and reset data
- Show contact logic

## Important distinction

An NC pressure switch is different from a pressure transmitter producing a continuous analog signal.

## Facts
