NOTIFIER OSY2 and OSY2A Outside Screw and Yoke Supervisory Switches Owner’s Manual

OSY2 and OSY2A
Outside Screw and Yoke (OS &Y)
Supervisory Switches

General

System Sensor’s OSY2 and OSY2A supervisory switches monitor the open position of an Outside Screw and Yoke (OS&Y) type gate valve.
Robust construction. The OSY2(A) consists of a rugged housing, intended for indoor and outdoor use. When installed with the actuator in the vertical position, the OSY2(A) is NEMA 3R rated per UL.
Application flexibility. The OSY2(A) features a user-friendly mounting bracket and adjustable shaft to permit mounting to most OS&Y valves, ranging in size from 1″ to 12″ (2.54 to 30.48 cm). Its right-angle design and wide bracket span provides maximum clearance for valve components, accommodating troublesome valves. Removing OSY2(A)’s gate valve bracket allows the unit to monitor side-bracket-style pressure reducing valves.
Simplified operation. Installation is made easier with the OSY2(A)’s single- side conduit entrance. By providing a direct conduit pathway to the electrical source, right angle fittings are not required. Installation is further simplified by the OSY2(A)’s adjustable-length actuator, which eliminates the need for cutting the shaft.
Reliable performance. The OSY2(A) is equipped with tamperresistant cover screws to prevent unauthorized entry. Inside, two sets of SPDT (Form-C) synchronized switches are enclosed in a durable terminal block to assure reliable performance.

Features

• NEMA 3R rated enclosure.
• User-friendly mounting bracket fits newer valve yokes.
• Single-side conduit entry does not require right-angle fittings.
• Adjustable length actuator eliminates the need for cutting the shaft.
• Accommodates up to 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) wire.
• Three-position switch monitors vandal and valve-close signals.
• Two SPDT contacts are enclosed in a durable terminal block for added strength.
• 100% synchronization activates both alarm panel and local bell simultaneously.
