minimal to piping diagram above Figures 2 and 3 Mount the device directly to the line via the 1 2 NPT connection The use of teflon pipe sealant is recommended Be sure the fitting is tight to prevent leaks 4 Switch location voltage Electrocution hazard Do not handle live AC or work on a device to which AC power is applied so may result in severe injury or death Wire the device in accordance with

installing and Supervisory Pressure Switches Always and Maintenance for specific recommendations on indi devices before installing the unit Electrical ratings stated in literature and on name should not be exceeded Overload on switch can cause failure on the first Always wire devices according to national and electrical codes Install units away from shock and vibration Proper fittings should be used to prevent moisture entering the enclosure via the conduit Test all devices for proper operation after initial instal Perform preventive maintenance and periodic as required by the applicable NFPA standards not less than bi monthly Install a back up control for all critical applications control failure could endanger life or property backup control to serve as a high or low limit con is especially recommended for applications where runaway condition could result Do not mount unit where ambient temperatures will published limits Avoid impact or mechanical loading Model EPS40EXP and EPS120EXP Install pressure switch as stated in of instruction manual Attach pressure test to system Remove adjustment wheel cover and back off locking see Figure 1 to allow main adjustment wheel to freely Option 1 To adjust the nominal setting of the pressure low switch setting to high switch setting affecting the size of the window adjust the adjustment wheel Figure 1 to the desired setting the pressure source to verify each switch setting tine on the wheel represents an approximate win shift of 1.8 PSI for the EPS40EXP and 6.6 PSI for the 120EXP For each 1 2 rotation of the adjustment the window changes by approximately 11 PSI for EPS 40EXP and 40 PSI for the EPS 120EXP 2 To adjust the pressure window size and the setting of the pressure window adjust the main wheel Figure 1 until the high switch SW1 at the desired pressure using the pressure test Decrease the pressure until the low switch trips Note pressure and determine how much is desired on the low switch Adjust the 1 4 hex
