Important
Please Read Carefully and Save
This instruction manual contains important information
about the installation and operation of alarm 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 instructions that apply to the model you are
installing.
Before installing any alarm device, be thoroughly familiar
with:
NFPA 72:
Installation, Maintenance, and Use of
Protective Signaling Systems
NFPA 13:
Installation of Sprinkler Systems
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.
Operation
As pressure changes, a diaphragm actuates 2 snap action
switches. The pressure switch actuation is determined by
adjustment settings.
