GENERAL
The Model PTS-B is designed to supervise sprinkler system control valves. This
unit is particularly useful for unusual conditions, such as non-rising stem
valves.
Turning the valve wheel will pull the plug out of the receptacle. The plug
cannot be reinserted after operation until the cover is removed with special
key provided. Cover tamper is provided.
CONTACTS : SPST normally closed when plug is in recep-tacle. Contacts
rated 250 mA 28 VDC/VAC.
The PTS-B is NOT available with normally open contacts.
INSTALLATION
- The receptacle housing is mounted near the valve. With the valve in the full OPEN position, the approximate 8′ of water-proof wire provided, can be cut to the desired length and looped through the valve wheel and terminated in the plug.
- This forms a normally closed single circuit loop when the plug is inserted into the receptacle.
- The cover tamper switch can be series wired into this loop or can be wired into a separate normally closed protection circuit (see wiring diagrams).
WARNING
As Stipulated By Factory Mutual And Underwriters Laboratories
This unit is not intended or designed for ordinary use. It is a special
application device to be used for unusual conditions such as non-rising stem
gate valves where no other approved or listed method of protection is
available or practical. As this unit does not meet NFPA codes and standards,
requiring restoration signal when the valve is positioned to normal, special
attention should be given by the responsible parties to assure that the proper
operation of this device is maintained. This device should only be restored to
normal when the valve is in the normal condition.
