A device for control and monitoring of pressure in a system combines a conventional three pole pressure switch with the following additional features: (1) a lock mechanism with three influencing input factors and a single resulting output contact action, (2) a three pole thermal release device as one of the input factors, and (3) a remote control tripping device as another input factor, all integrated into a single, compact, modular unit. The thermal release device comprises a plurality of bimetals which sense electrical flow passing through the device, and which are mechanically connected to a locking mechanism to shut off current if the electrical flow reaches a predetermined maximum. If any of the three inputs activates the locking mechanism, the device must be reset by an operator.
