Fill the sprinkler system and check lor leaks around the waterflow detec-
tor. If it leaks, first check for the proper torque on the U-bolt nuts. If the
leak persists, drain the system and remove the detector (reler to Mainte
nance). Check for dirt or foreign objects under the gasket. and make sure
that the pipe surface is not dented. Reinstall the detector and check again
for leaks. Do not proceed until all leaks have been stopped.

Deflect the actuator lever and hold it until the pneumatic delay shaft
releases the switch buttons. The ohmmeter or continuity tester should
show a short circuit after the delay has elapsed. If there is no delay,
check the setting of the delay adjustment dial.

All models have two SPDT switches. Switch contacts COM and B-NO
are closed when water is lowing and open when it is not. Connect the
switches, as shown in Figure 4, depending on the application.
When connected to a listed sprinkler/fire alarm control panel, the initat-
ing circuit must be nonsilenceable.

f a second conduit enuy is required, remove the knockout plug using à
1lat blade screwdriver as shown on Figure 5B, page 4. Strike sharply ith a
hamner to pierce the wall of the knockout plug. Move to an adjacent wall
