Potter PS40-EX Explosion Proof Low High Supervisory Pressure Switch for Dry Valves - Nominal System Pressure 40 psi

Features Designed and approved for use in hazardous locations Weatherproof Two independently adjustable switches no tools needed Brass pressure connection Solid metal enclosure document contains important information on the installation operation of PS40 EX pressure switches Please read all carefully before beginning installation A copy of this is required by NFPA 72 to be maintained on site Potter PS40 EX Series Supervisory Pressure Actuated Switches are primarily to detect an increase and or decrease from normal pressure in automatic fire sprinkler systems located in hazardous Typical applications are air nitrogen supervision in dry pipe pre action systems pressure tanks air supplies and water supplies PS40 EX has two switches The Low switch is factory set to activate approximately 30 psi 2,1 BAR on a decrease in pressure The High is factory set to activate at approximately 50 psi 3,5 BAR an increase in pressure NFPA 72 requires a supervisory signal if pressure increases or decreases by 10 psi from normal The PS40 factory set for a normal air pressure of 40 psi See section heading and Testing if other than factory set point is required Connect the PS40 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 must be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance with all national and local codes and ordinances hazard Disconnect power source before servicing Serious injury or death could result all instructions carefully and understand them before starting installation Save instructions for future use Failure to read and understand instructions could result in improper operation of device resulting in serious injury or

may activate other system connected operation of the pressure supervisory switch should be tested upon of installation and periodically thereafter in accordance with applicable local national and NFPA codes and standards and or the having jurisdiction manufacturer recommends quarterly or frequently use of a Potter BVL see product bulletin 5400799 for details is to facilitate setting and testing of the PS40 EX pressure When a BVL bleeder valve is used the pressure to the switch can isolated and bled from the exhaust port on the BVL without affecting supervisory pressure of the entire system See Fig 2 operation point of the PS40 EX Pressure Switch can be adjusted to point between 69 kPA 69 BAR 10 PSI to 1207 kPA 12.07 BAR 175 by turning the adjustment knob s clockwise to raise the actuation and counter clockwise to lower the actuation point Each switch be independently adjusted to actuate at any point across the switch range If the pressure needs to be adjusted from the factory adjust the system pressure to the desired trip point Use an on the appropriate contact COM and NC for pressure decrease COM and NO for pressure increase Adjust the knurled knob until meter changes state At that point the switch is set for that particular Final adjustments should be made with a pressure gauge position of the top of the adjustment knob across to the printed scale on switch bracket can be used to provide an approximate visual reference the pressure switch setting Conditions For Safe Use of flameproof joints are other than the relevant minimum or specified in Table 2 of EN 60079 1 2007
