PIBV2 and PIBV2A Post Indicator, Butterfly Valve Supervisory Switches
Owner’s Manual
General
System Sensor’s PIBV2 and PIBV2A supervisory switches monitor the open
position of post indicator and butterfly control valves.
Robust construction. The PIBV2(A) consists of a rugged housing, intended
for indoor and outdoor use. When installed with the actuator in the vertical
position, the PIBV2(A) is NEMA 3R rated per UL.
Application flexibility. The PIBV2(A) features a flexible design that
accommodates post indicator, butterfly, and many other types of wall post,
recessed wall post and pressure reducing valves. The PIBV2(A)’s unique bi-
directional actuator allows the unit to be installed in either rising or
falling flag installations.
Simplified operation. Installation is made easier with the PIBV2(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 PIBV2(A)’s adjustable length actuator, which
eliminates the need for cutting the shaft.
Reliable performance. The PIBV2(A) is equipped with tamper resistant
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.
- Bi-directional actuator accommodates rising or falling flags.
- 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.
- Two SPDT contacts are enclosed in a durable terminal block for added strength.
- 100% synchronization activates both alarm panel and local bell simultaneously.

Engineering Specifications
Model shall be model number PIBV2(A) Post Indicator Butterfly Valve supervisory switch as manufactured by System Sen- sor. PIBV2(A) shall be installed on each valve as designated on the drawings and/or as specified herein. Switches shall be mounted so as not to interfere with the normal operation of the valve and shall be adjusted to operate within two revolutions of the valve control or when the valve flag has moved no more than one-fifth of the distance from its normal position. The mechanism shall be contained in a weatherproof die cast metal housing, which shall provide a side entrance for 1/2″ conduit and incorporate a 1/2″ NPT nipple for attachment to the valve body. A grounding provision is provided. The switch assembly shall include two switches each with a rated capacity of 10.0 A @ 125/250 VAC and 2.5 A @ 24 VDC. The cover shall contain tamper-resistant screws for which a security wrench will be provided with each switch. PIBV2(A) shall be Underwriters Laboratories listed for indoor or outdoor use. The PIBV2(A) shall be Factory Mutual, CSFM, and MEA approved.
