Potter PS100 Excess Pressure Pump Supervisory Switch

Features Two switch model Independent switch adjustment no tools needed Two 1 2 conduit cable entrances Separate isolated wiring chambers Non corrosive pressure connection Non Conductive Enclosure document contains important information on the installation operation of PS100 pressure switches Please read all carefully before beginning installation A copy of this is required by NFPA 72 to be maintained on site Potter PS100 Pressure Actuated Switches are designed primarily detect a decrease from normal system pressure in automatic fire systems A typical application is for an alarm initiating device is used on a wet system with excess pressure The PS100 2 has SPDT switches factory set to operate on a pressure drop at 90 psi bar See section heading Adjustments and Testing if other than set point is required Connect the PS100 to the system side of any shutoff or check Apply Teflon tape to the threaded male connection on the Do not use pipe dope Device should be mounted in the upright position Threaded down Tighten the device using a wrench on the flats on the device Instructions Remove the tamper resistant screw with the special key Carefully place a screwdriver on the edge of the knockout and apply a force sufficient to dislodge the knockout plug Fig 9 Run wires through an approved conduit connector and affix the to the device NEMA 4 rated conduit and fittings are for outdoor use Connect the wires to the appropriate terminal connections for the intended See Figures 2,4,5 and 6 See Fig 7 for two one conduit wiring Specifications Entrances Ratings Tamper

standards and or the authority having jurisdiction manufacturer recommends quarterly or more frequently Testing the PS100 may activate other system connected devices The use of a Potter BVL see product bulletin 8900067 for details is to facilitate setting and testing of the PS100 pressure switch When a BVL bleeder valve is used the pressure to the switch can be and bled from the exhaust port on the BVL without effecting the supervisory pressure of the entire system See Fig 3 operation point of the PS100 Pressure Switch can be adjusted to any point between 25 and 175 psi 1,7 12,1 bar by turning the adjustment knob s to raise the actuation point and counter clockwise to lower the actuation point Both switches operate independent of each other Each switch be independently adjusted to actuate at any point acrosss the switch adjustment range Initial adjustment can be made with a visual reference from top of the adjustment knob across to the printed scale on the switch bracket Final adjustments should be verified with a pressure gauge 1 NPT To prevent leakage apply Teflon tape sealant to male threads only 930 1 Clamping Plate Terminal 2 Sprinkler Applications 3 uninsulated
