Sprinkler or two family dwelling Occupancy up to four stories Fire Alarm Code Potter PS10 Series Pressure Actuated Switches are designed for the of a waterflow condition in automatic fire sprinkler systems of designs such as wet pipe systems with alarm check valves dry preaction or deluge valves The PS10 is also suitable to provide a pressure supervisory signal adjustable between 0,27 and 1,03 BAR 4 15PSI Apply Teflon tape to the threaded male connection on the device Do not use pipe dope Device should be mounted in the upright position threaded connection down Tighten the device using a wrench on the flats on the device Instructions Remove the tamper resistant screw with the special key provided Carefully place a screwdriver on the edge of the knockout and sharply a force sufficient to dislodge the knockout plug See Fig 9 Run wires through an approved conduit connector and affix the connector the device Connect the wires to the appropriate terminal connections for the service See Figures 2,4,5 and 6 See Fig 7 for two switch one conduit The operation of the pressure alarm switch should be tested upon of installation and periodically thereafter in accordance with the NFPA codes and standards and or the authority having jurisdiction recommends quarterly or more frequently System 1 When using PS10 and control unit with retard connect PS10 alarm port piping on the input side of
