Deadband is also known as hysteresis and is the amount of a measured variable (pressure, temperature, etc.) between the point where a switch closes and then re-opens. It can be implemented is software if you have an analog input (i.e., open at 1.02 PSI, close at 0.98 PSI) or designed into a switching mechanism. Often the deadband of a switch is fixed and cannot be adjusted. A typical example is in a wall thermostat in your house.
Flow and Tamper Switches. Flow switches and tamper switches are devices used on sprinkler systems. Flow switches detect water movement or drop in pressure, and activate alarms. Tamper switches detect when a sprinkler valve has been partially to fully closed and usually activates a trouble signal at the control, although some cities require them activate alarms. Check with your local fire dept for their requirements.
