order Stock No 0090200 bulletin 5401200 PSCTSK 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 PS40 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 PS40 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 PS40 Pressure Switch can be adjusted to any between 0,7 4,11 BAR 10 and 60 PSI by turning the adjustment clockwise to raise the actuation point and counter clockwise to the actuation point In the case of the PS40 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 PS40 1 VdS VdS Use Sprinkler or two family dwelling Occupancy up to four stories Fire Alarm Code Potter PS40 Series Supervisory Pressure Actuated Switches are designed to detect an increase and or decrease from normal system pressure automatic fire sprinkler systems Typical applications are Dry pipe pre action air nitrogen supervision pressure tanks air supplies water supplies The PS40 switch is factory set for 2,8 BAR 40 PSI system pressure The switch marked with the word LOW is set to at a pressure decrease of 7 BAR 10 PSI at 2,1 BAR 30 PSI The marked with the word HIGH is set to operate at a pressure increase 7 BAR 10 PSI at 3,5 BAR 50 PSI See section heading Adjustments Testing if other than factory set point is required Connect the PS40 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 conduit fitting is required for outdoor use Connect the wires to the appropriate terminal connections for the service intended See Figures 2,4,5,6 and 8 Electric Signal Company St Louis MO Customer Service 866 572 3005

for future use Failure to read and understand instructions could result in improper operation of device resulting in serious injury or death Risk of explosion Not for use is hazardous locations Serious injury or death could result Do not tighten by grasping the switch enclosure Use wrenching flats on the bushing only Failure to install properly could damage the switch and cause improper operation resulting in damage to equipment and property To seal threads apply Teflon tape to male threads only Using joint compounds or cement can obstruct the pressure port inlet and result in improper device operation and damage to equipment Do not over tighten the device standard piping practices apply Do not apply any lubricant to any component of the pressure switch Specifications
