1010201 Potter PTS-C Plug-type Supervisory Switch

General

The Model PTS-C is designed to supervise sprinkler system control valves and may also be used to secure gates and other applications. This unit is particularly useful for unusual conditions, such as non-rising stem valves.

Nema 6P enclosure allows the device to be mounted outdoors, even in areas subject to flooding such as pits and wells. Sealed reed switch operation virtually eliminates contact corrosion.

Turning the valve wheel will pull the plug out of the receptacle. The plug cannot be reinserted after operation until the plug receptacle cover is removed with the special hex key provided. This key should be left with the building owner or responsible party. Replacement or additional cover tamper screws and hex keys are available. For cover tamper screws, order stock no. 5490344. For hex key, order stock no. 5250062.

Installation

Insert plug into housing, take the loose end of the cable and loop it through the valve handle and into the housing. Adjust the length of cable so the plug must be pulled from the housing when the valve is closed. Cut off excess cable and terminate on the plug terminals of the PC board. Do not leave more than 2" (50mm) of excess wiring in the housing. Dress wires to outside edge of housing so as not to interfere with cover tamper.

Wire Checkout

With the plug wired to the two P terminals and the plug inserted fully into the receptacle, place an ohmmeter across the C and N.O. terminals. The meter will show Open. Unplug the plug from the receptacle. The meter will show continuity.The cover tamper switch can be wired into the plug circuit or wired as a separate circuit.

Testing

The PTS-C and its associated protective monitoring system should be tested in accordance with applicable NFPA codes and standards and/or the authority having jurisdiction (manufacturer recommends quarterly or more frequently).
