  • Page 8: Installation

    Installation The VS2 and VS94 series shock switches are sensitive to shock and vibration in all three planes of motion – up/down, front/back and side/side. Front/back is the most sensitive (the reset push button is located on the front of the unit). For maximum sensitivity, mount the unit so that the front faces into the direction of machine rotation.

    1. Firmly secure the unit to the equipment using the base foot mount or C-Clamp, if applicable. See C-Clamp Installation. For oil well pump jacks, attach the VS2 and VS94 Series to the Sampson post or walking beam. See Typical Mounting Locations.

    THE MACHINE IS RUNNING. STAND CLEAR OF THE MACHINE AT ALL TIMES WHEN IT IS OPERATING. All models of the VS2 and VS94 Series cover a wide range of sensitivity. Each model is adjusted to the specific piece of machinery on which it is installed in a satisfactory location.
  • Page 11 WARNING: MAKE THE AREA NON-HAZARDOUS OR DE-ENERGIZE ALL CIRCUITS BEFORE OPENING THE EXPLOSION-PROOF (-EX) ENCLOSURES. WARNING: ROTATING SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT SCREW COUNTERCLOCKWISE / LESS SENSITIVE AFTER F LATCH HAS TRIPPED COULD DAMAGE THE ADJUSTMENT SHAFT. Depress the Reset button, and restart the machine. Repeat this process until the unit does not trip on start up.
  • Page 12: Vs94 Time Delay Adjustment

    VS94 Time-Delay Adjustment 1. Apply power to the time-delay circuit. (See Electrical for the time-delay circuit). The time-delay function is initiated. 2. Time the length of the delay with a watch. Let time delay expire. After it expires, the override circuit will de-energize the solenoid, allowing the latch to trip. A clicking noise is heard.
