General Information Description The FW Murphy shock and vibration switches are available in a variety of models. They are used for applications on machinery or equipment where excessive vibration or shock can damage the equipment or otherwise pose a threat to proper operation. A set of contacts is held in a latched position through a mechanical latch and magnet mechanism.
T24: Time delay for 24 VDC Space Heater Options (VS94 only) This optional space heater board prevents moisture from condensing inside the VS94 Series case. Options listed below: H15: Space heater for 115 VAC H24: Space heater for 24 VDC Section 20 00-02-0185 2016-05-16...
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.

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.
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.
Typical Mounting Locations NOTE: These are typical mounting locations for best operation. Other mountings are possible. See Installation section for more information. Section 20 00-02-0185 2016-05-16 - 9 -...
