EPS40-2

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 • Sensitivity adjustment wheel, no special tools required • Reinforced diaphragm resists pressure spikes • Two conduit entrances • Both one- and two-switch models available Agency Listings 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. 118f/01 S739 0X0A7.AY CS169 VdS G4020028 7770-1209:147 167-93-E Specifications, EPS40-1 and EPS40-2 Architectural/Engineering Specifications EPS40-1 (SPDT), EPS40-2 (2/SPDT) Model shall be an EPS40-1 or EPS40-2 pressure type waterflow switch as manufactured by System Sensor of St. Charles, IL.
