This instruction manual contains important information about the installa-
tion and operation of supervisory pressure switches. Purchasers who install
switches for use by others must leave this manual or a copy of it with the user.
Read all instructions carefully before installation, following only those instruc-
tions that apply to the model you are installing.
Before installing any alarm device, be thoroughly familiar with:
NFPA 72: National Fire Alarm Code
NFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems
NFPA 25: Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-based Fire Protec-
tion Systems
NFPA 13D: Standard for 1 and 2 Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes
NFPA 13R: Standard for Multi-family Dwellings
Other applicable NFPA standards, local codes, and the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction.
Failure to follow these directions may result in failure of the device to report
an alarm condition. System Sensor is not responsible for devices that have
been improperly installed, tested, or maintained.
CAUTION
Do not use in potentially explosive atmospheres.Do not leave unused wires exposed.
OPERATION
As pressure changes, a diaphragm actuates 1 or 2 snap action switches. The
pressure switch actuation is determined by adjustment settings.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove Cover
Cover is held on by two screws.
2. Mounting the Switch
The device is designed to be mounted in the upright position; side mounting
is also acceptable. Locate it where vibration, shock, and mechanical loading
are minimal. Refer to piping diagram above (Fig. 2 and 3).
a. Mount the device directly to the line via the
nection. The use of teflon pipe sealant tape is recommended. Be sure
the fitting is tight enough to prevent leaks.
b. Apply tightening torque to the black plastic hex portion of the device.

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 74 VDC
49 VAC , means to provide all-pole disconnection must be incorporated in
the field wiring, such as a circuit breaker.
3. Wire the device in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Two
diameter conduit connection holes have been provided in the mounting
plate to accept standard 1 ⁄ " conduit fittings (one is removable knock-out
2
type). If a NEMA 4/UL 4x (waterproof unit) is required, waterproof flex-
ible metallic conduit and appropriate conduit fittings must be used. Rec-
ommended connectors are Thomas and Betts PN 5332 (180° coupling),
PN 5352 (90° coupling), and PN 5262 seal ring.
4. Connect wiring to terminals (see Figure 4 and Table 1).
