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 VdS version available document contains important information on the installation operation of PS15 pressure switches Please read all instructions before beginning installation A copy of this document is by NFPA 72 to be maintained on site Potter PS15 Series Supervisory Pressure Actuated Switches designed primarily to detect an increase and or decrease from system pressure in automatic fire sprinkler systems Typical are air nitrogen supervision in Dry pipe and pre systems pressure tanks air supplies and water supplies The has two switches The Low switch is factory set to activate at 10 psi 0,35 bar on a decrease in pressure The High is factory set to activate at approximately 20 psi 1,4 bar on an in pressure See section heading Adjustments and Testing if than factory set point is required Connect the PS15 to the system side of any shutoff or check valve Apply Teflon tape to the threaded male connection on the device not use pipe dope Device should be mounted in the upright position connection 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 connector to the device A NEMA 4 rated conduit fitting is for

tested upon completion of installation and periodically thereafter in accordance with the NFPA codes and standards and or the authority having jurisdiction manufacturer recommends quarterly or more frequently Testing the PS15 may activate other system connected devices use of a Potter BVL see product bulletin 5400799 for details is recommended to facilitate setting and testing of the PS15 pressure switch When a bleeder valve is used the pressure to the switch can be isolated and bled from the exhaust port on the BVL without affecting the supervisory pressure the entire system See Fig 3 operation point of the PS15 Pressure Switch can be adjusted to any point between 5 and 30 psi 0,35 2,07 bar by turning the adjustment knob s to raise the actuation point and counter clockwise to lower the actuation point In the case of the PS15 2 both switches operate independently of other Each switch may be independently adjusted to actuate at any point across the switch adjustment range Initial adjustment can be made with a reference from the top of the adjustment knob across to the printed scale on the switch bracket Final adjustments should be verified with a pressure 1 Clamping Plate
