tamper resistant screws Removal key is en with pressure switch The device is designed to be mounted in the upright or horizontal posi side mounting is also acceptable Locate it where vibration shock mechanical loading are minimal Refer to piping diagram Figure 2 page 2 Mount the device directly to the line via the 1 NPT pressure con The use of teflon pipe sealant tape is recommended Be the fitting is tight enough to prevent leaks Apply tightening torque to the black plastic hex portion of device voltage Electrocution hazard Do not handle live AC wiring or work on device to which AC power is applied Doing so may result in severe injury death When utilizing switches at voltages greater than 74 VDC or VAC means to provide all pole disconnection must be incorporated in field wiring such as a circuit breaker ADJUSTMENT NPT Read Carefully and Save instruction manual contains important information about the installation operation of alarm pressure switches Purchasers who install switches for by others must leave this manual or a copy of it with the user all instructions carefully before installation following only those instruc that apply to the model you are installing installing any alarm device be thoroughly familiar with Wire the device in accordance with the National Electrical Code Two diameter conduit connection holes have been provided in the plate to accept standard 1 conduit fittings one is remov knock out type If a NEMA 4 UL 4x waterproof unit is re waterproof flexible metallic conduit and appropriate conduit must be used Recommended connectors are

you have any questions consult System Sensor Sensor recommends careful consideration of the following fac when specifying and installing Alarm Pressure Switches Always to the Installation and Maintenance Instruction for specific rec on individual devices before installing the unit TO FACTORY SETTINGS EPS10 1 and EPS10 2 devices are pre adjusted at the factory to alarm 4 PSI on rising pressure see Table 2 Pressure switch settings may be in the field to obtain a different pressure alarm response from 4 PSI 20 PSI The switch has an override feature on the adjustment mechanism to exceeding the 20 PSI max setting of the switch This override feature with it a tolerance band that may limit the upper adjustment to 16 Care must be used when setting the switch to ensure that the lower limit 4 PSI is not exceeded This will allow the switch to reset within the 3 PSI stated Install pressure switch as stated in portion of instruc manual Attach pressure test source to system Back off locking screw see Figure 1 to allow main adjustment wheel to freely Test trip point by slowly introducing pressure from the pressure test When trip point is found reduce pressure to zero Rotate main wheel counterclockwise to increase pressure and retest un switch trip point is at the desired pressure setting 4 PSI range Electrical ratings stated in literature and on nameplates should not be Overload on switch can cause failure on the first cycle Always wire according to national and local electrical codes units away from shock and vibration Proper electrical fittings should used to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure via the conduit Test all devices for proper operation after initial installation Perform pre maintenance and periodic testing as required by the applicable standards but not less than bimonthly Install a back up control for all critical applications where control failure endanger life or property A backup control to serve as a high or limit control is especially recommended for applications where a condition could result Do not mount unit where ambient temperatures will exceed published limits Avoid impact or mechanical loading refer to insert for
