Field Wiring
High Voltage. Electrocution Hazard. Do not handle live
AC wiring or work on a device to which AC power is
applied. Doing so may result in severe injury or death.
When utilizing switches at voltages greater than
74VDC
or 49VAC
disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring,
such as a circuit breaker.
1. The WFDT and WFDTH have two SPDT switches. Switch
contacts (COM and B) are closed when water is flowing
and open when water is not flowing. Connect the switch-
es as shown in Figure 3 depending on the application.
2. When connected to a listed sprinkler/fire alarm control
panel, the initiating circuit must be non-silenceable.
3. A ground screw is provided with all units. When ground-
ing is required, clamp wire with screw in hole located
between conduit entrance holes. See Figure 2.
Mechanical Delay Adjustment
The pneumatic delay is preset at 30 seconds at the factory.
To adjust the delay, turn the adjustment dial on the delay
mechanism. Turn clockwise to increase the delay, counter-
clockwise to decrease the delay. Delay can be adjusted over
a range from 0-70 seconds. See Figure 4.

NOTE: Set the delay to the minimum required to prevent
false alarms due to flow surges.
After extended service, parts of the detector may become
worn reducing the delay time and causing false alarms. If
this happens, increase the delay. If the delay is already at
maximum, replace the mechanical delay assembly. Refer to
Maintenance section for ordering replacement parts.
