important information on the installation and operation of the RBVS Universal Ball Valve Solenoid Coil Supervisory please read all instructions carefully before beginning installation a copy of this document is required by NFpa 72 to be maintained on site Model RBVS is designed to monitor the fully open or closed of a ball valve installed in a sprinkler system as well as monitor position of a coil on a solenoid for a preaction deluge system The will fit on most ball valves installed on back flow preventers and trim lines of dry alarm and deluge sprinkler valves The switch if the ball valve handle is moved from the normal position the switch does not track the position of the handle or ball the ball valve handle is under the RBVS plunger a spring loaded will contact the valve handle When the handle is moved from position this actuator extends to the tripped position and the RBVS change state thereby opening or closing a circuit unit also includes a small bracket and clamp to allow the to mount directly to the nipple on the coil of a solenoid valve plunger of the RBVS is actuated by the stud protruding through the of the coil see Fig 6 If a technician removes the coil from the for testing the RBVS will activate cover tamper switch is available and is activated by the removal of the housing cover If an attempt is made to remove the RBVS by the of the mounting brackets the unit will be set into the tripped by this action RBVS can be mounted to the hex portion of the ball valve or back or to the adjoining pipe via two clamps The RBVS is with three sets of mounting kits to accommodate various pipe valve sizes refer to Table 1 an shaped and offset bracket for the switch enclosure and an extension bracket add to the flexibility of the RBVS See Mounting Diagrams and
