EPS40-1 AND EPS40-2
Supervisory Pressure
Switches
System Sensor EPS40 Series switches are designed for
use in dry pipe systems or pressure tanks and water
pressure supplies of automatic water control valves.
Features
The EPS40-1 has a single SPDT switch while the EPS40-2 model
contains two SPDT switches. The EPS40 Series features field
adjustable pressure sensitivity to provide an alarm response between
10 and 100 psi. All models are factory set for use in a nominal 40 psi
system. The EPS40-1 is factory set to respond at 30 psi at decreasing
pressure while the EPS40-2 is factory set to respond at 50 psi on
rising pressure and 30 psi at decreasing pressure. The pressure
adjustment wheel requires no special tools and does not affect
switch synchronization on the EPS40-2. The EPS40-1 and EPS40-2
supervisory pressure switches are NEMA 4 rated.
• Sensitivity adjustment wheel, no special tools required
• Reinforced diaphragm resists pressure spikes
• Two conduit entrances
• Both one- and two-switch models available
