It is in normal position when the trip rod is pulling against the spring force. Normal is when the switch is installed on the valve and the valve is fully open. As the valve closes, the valve actuator moves away from the trip rod of the PCVS and the spring on the PCVS pulls the trip rod over and trips the switch. Alternate Window Installation and Moving Hood Installation Target Moes Up as Valve is Shut Fig I Subject to the approval of the "authority having jurisdiction" the alternate method of installation shown in Fig. I may be used. En this method, one of the glass windows of the housing is replaced with a 1/4" thick metal plate that is cut to fit in place of the glass and drilled and tapped to recieve 1/2" NPT pipe nipple. In some cases it may be necessary to attach an angle bracket to the target assembly to engage the PCVS trip rod. Steel Tripping Block Replaces Open Marker Plate Replaces Glass Target Assembly Houd Moves Down as Valve is Shut Fig If the target is stationary and a hood arrangement is used, such as is shown in Fig. 2, the hood must he drilled with a 23132" drill and tapped with a 1/2" NPT. The center line of this hole should be 1/8" below the portion of target assembly that strikes the PCVS trip rod. The I I 3/8" dimension shown is for a Clow Valve. Flexible conduit must he used for this type of installation. (More on pg. 3). Potter Electric Signal Company, LLC • St. Louis.

Position the valve to fully open ('OPEN" should appear in the window of the housing). Partially close the valve while observing the direction that the target assembly moves. Reopen the valve. lf the valve housing is predrilled with a 1/2" NPT for installation of a monitoring switch, remove the 1/2" plug and fully open the valve. Make sure that 'OPEN" appears in the window of the housing. GO TO STEP NO, 6, 2. lithe valve is not pre -drilled for 112" NPT, remove the head and target assembly (consultation with valve manufacturer is recommended). 3. If the target assembly moved up as the valve was closed, measure the distance from the bottom of the head to the lower part of the target assembly that will contact the trip rod of the PCVS (see Fig. 3). This is usually a plate or bar on the target assembly, on a side adjacent to the "OPEN/SHUT" plates. Subtract 178" froni the measurement. If the target moved down as the valve was closed, measure the distance from the bottom of the head to the upper portion of the target assembly that will contact the trip rod of the PCVS (see Fig. 4). Add I/8" (3,2mn-i) to this measurement. 4. Mark the housing at the proper location. Using a 23/32'' (I8,2mm) drill bit drill and then tap a 1/2- NPT in the housing on the side that coincides with the portion of the target assembly that will engage the trip rod of the PCVS. 5.

Waterflow switches used for this application may result in unintended discharges caused by surges, trapped air, or short retard times. Important: This document contains important information on the installation and operation of the VSR watertlow switches. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning installation. A copy of this document is required by NFPA 72 to be maintained on site. General Information The Model VSR is a vane type waterflow switch for use on wet sprinkler systems. It is UL Listed for use on a steel pipe; schedules 5 through 40, sizes 2" - 6" and is UL Listed and FM Approved for use on steel pipe; schedules 10 through 40, sizes 2" thru 8" (50 mw thru 200 mw), LPC approved sizes are 2" thru 8" (50 inm that 200 min). See Ordering Information chart. The VSR may also be used as a sectional waterflow detector on large systems. The VSR contains two single pole, double throw, snap action switches and an adjustable, instantly recycling pneumatic retard. The switches are actuated when a flow of 10 GPM (38 LPM) or more occurs downstream of the device. The flow condition must exist for a period of time necessary to overcome the selected retard period. Enclosure The VSR switches and retard device are enclosed in a general purpose, die-cust housing. The cover is held in place with two tamper resistant screws which require a special key for removal. A field installable cover tamper switch is available as an option which may be used to indicate unauthorized removal of the cover. See bulletin number 5401103 for installation instructions of this switch.

On horizontal pipe they shall be installed on the top side of the pipe where they will be accessible. The device should not be installed within 6" (15 cm) of a fitting which changes the direction of the waterflow or within 24" (60 cm) of a valve or drain. NOTE: Do not leave cover off for an extended period of time. DraM the system and drill a hole in the pipe using a hole saw in a slow speed drill (see Fig. 1). Clean the inside pipe of all growth or other material for a distance equal to the pipe diameter on either side of the hole. Roll the vane so that it may he inserted into the hole; do not bend or crease it. insert the vane so that the arrow on the saddle points in the direction of the watcrflow. Take care not to damage the non -corrosive bushing in the saddle, The bushing should fit inside the hole in the pipe, Install the saddle strap and tighten nuts alternately to required torque (see the chart in Fig, 11. The vane must not rub the inside of the pipe or bind in any way. A CAUTION Do not trim the paddle. Failure to follow these insnuetions may prevent the device from operating and will void the warranty. Do not obstruct or otherwise prevent the trip stem of the flow switch from moving when water flows as this could damage the flow switch and prevent an alarm.
