Pressure Switch
The SD-PS Series Pressure Switches shall be installed on the sprinkler system with connection as shown on the drawings and/or as specified herein. Pressure switches shall be of the bellows-activated type. Switches shall have a maximum service pressure rating of 300 psi and shall be factory adjusted to operate at a pressure of 4 - 8 psi.
There shall be one (1) or two (2) SPDT contacts rated at 10.0 Amp @ 125/250 VAC and 2.5 Amp @ 30 VDC. The contractor shall furnish and install, where indicated on the plans, pressure switches according to appropriate NFPA standards. Switches shall be provided with a ½˝ NPT male pressure connection to be connected to the alarm check valve of a “wet” sprinkler system, into the intermediate chamber of a “dry” system, or to a pre-action or deluge valve.
They shall be activated by any flow of water equal to or in excess of the discharge from one sprinkler head. Switches shall provide 1 knockout type and 1 open hole for ½˝ conduit fitting attachment and a ground screw pro- vision for electrical grounding.
The switch enclosure shall be weatherproof. The cover shall incorporate tamper- resistant screws. The unit shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. and approved by Factory Mutual.
- Sensitivity adjustment wheel, no special tools required.
- Reinforced diaphragm resists pressure spikes.
- Two conduit entrances.
- Both one- and two-switch models available.
