Pressure switches work differently depending on the type of switch you are referring to. The two main types are electromechanical and solid-state types.
A pressure switch works by responding to changes in pressure levels. When the pressure reaches a preset point, the switch triggers a change in the electrical circuit, either turning on or off a connected device. It does this by physically opening or closing internal contacts within the switch.
The pressure in the tank will vary from your cutin pressure to your cutout pressure. If you increased the pressure in the system, your air-charge will now be wrong. A good rule of thumb is cutin - 2 psi.
If the pressure switch is marked as normally open, there should be continuity (zero resistance) through the switch when the blower is off. The reading of -1.07PF signifies the pressure setting at which the switch should close to allow the blower to turn on.
No, the power steering pressure switch does not blow the fluid out. It simply monitors the pressure in the power steering system and sends a signal to the vehicle's computer. If excessive pressure is detected, it may trigger a warning light on the dashboard.
The equation for work in terms of pressure and volume is: Work Pressure x Change in Volume.
As the transmission applies pressure to a section of the trans the oil pressure switch triggers. If you mean a particular switch and what it tells the computer or what it controls I need more background info.

When it leaks or fails to work.
Push-To-Make switch is a switch in which pressure is applied to the switch for it to let the electricl current flow through.
A pressure switch works by responding to changes in pressure levels. When the pressure reaches a preset point, the switch triggers a change in the electrical circuit, either turning on or off a connected device. It does this by physically opening or closing internal contacts within the switch.
An oil pressure switch works by detecting the pressure of the oil in the car and alerting you to any problems. Oil pressure naturally increases when a car is running, but if the pressure gets too high or drops, it can create numerous problems.
A pressure switch reads pressure not level.
the pump can be an impeller type driven by a electric motor activated by a float switch, pressure switch depending on the configuration.
A pressure switch a valve that shuts off the unit when the pressure is to low or to high
if your pressure switch acts up at all, replace it.
Of which low pressure switch are you speaking? Engine oil pressure switch? If you're checking that, remove the oil pressure sending unit and temporarily put in an oil pressure gauge. If you're checking the AC low pressure switch, pull the switch from the AC low pressure line, Jumper the switch socket and see if the AC compressor comes on. If it does, you either have low refrigerant pressure or a bad switch. If you KNOW the pressure is up and everything else works, you have a bad switch.
To replace the pressure switch on a Jacuzzi spa you need to disconnect the wires from the thermostat to the pressure switch. Remove the pressure switch, replace with new one, and reattach the thermostat wires.
