( in the T-piece ). The paddle pivots about a point higher in the PSR/PS body but is resisted by a leaf spring. On the upper part of the paddle is a magnet, which moves as the paddle pivots about its center. A reed switch is located outside the PSR/PS housing ( thus hermetically isolated ) inside a movable plastic housing.

Use of PTFE tape is recommended to aid installation. Note that the PSR must be installed so that flow direction in the pipe is as indicated by the arrow on the T-piece. The flow direction arrow on the PS series is stamped on the clamp plate.
Adjusting the Setpoint Diagram 4.2: Adjusting the Setpoint The PSR/PS is pre- adjusted at the factory as a normally open (N/O) switch, set to switch in approximately the middle of its range. To change the setpoint, consult Table 2.2: Construction, and do as follows: Slightly l oosen the clamp plate screws (5) to allow movement of the reed contact (7).
