tamper resistant fastener that requires a special key for removal One key is supplied with 4 IP66 Rated Enclosure indoor or outdoor when with NEMA 4 conduit fittings range 40 to 60 40 to 140 each device For optional cover tamper switch kit order Stock No 0090200 See bulletin 5401200 PSCTSK Connect the wires to the appropriate terminal connections for the service intended See Figures 2,4,5,6 and 8 See Fig 7 for two switch one conduit wiring And Testing operation of the supervisory pressure switch should be tested upon of installation and periodically thereafter in accordance with applicable NFPA codes and standards and or the authority having manufacturer recommends quarterly or more frequently Testing the PS120 may activate other system connected devices use of a Potter BVL see product bulletin 8900067 for details is to facilitate setting and testing of the PS120 pressure switch 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 pressure of the entire system See Fig 3 operation point of the PS120 Pressure Switch can be adjusted to any between 1,7 12,1 bAR 25 and 175 PSI by turning the adjustment clockwise to raise the actuation point and counter clockwise to the actuation point In the case of the PS120 2 both switches operate of each other Each switch may be independently adjusted to at any point acrosss the switch adjustment range Initial adjustment be made with a visual reference from the top of the adjustment knob to the printed scale on the switch bracket Final adjustments should verified with a pressure gauge VDS VDS Use Sprinkler or two family dwelling Occupancy up to four stories Fire Alarm Code NFPA 13 NFPA 13D NFPA 13R NFPA 72 Potter PS120 Series Supervisory Pressure Actuated Switches are primarily to detect an increase and or decrease from normal system in automatic fire sprinkler systems Typical applications are Wet systems with excess pressure pressure tanks air supplies and water The PS120 switch is factory set for 8,3 bAR 120 PSI normal pressure The switch marked with the word LOW is set to operate at pressure decrease of 0,7 bAR 10 PSI at 7,6 bAR 110 PSI The switch with the word HIGH is set to operate at a pressure increase of 0,7 10 PSI at 9 bAR 130 PSI See section heading Adjustments and if other than factory set point is required Connect the PS120 to the system side of any shutoff or check valve 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 apply a force sufficient to dislodge the knockout plug See Fig 9 Run wires through an approved conduit connector and affix the connector to the device A NEMA 4 rated
