Potter PTS-C Supervisory Switch

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 the hex key, order stock no. 5250062.
PTS-C PLUG TYPE SUPERVISORY SWITCH Installation
Insert the plug into the housing, take the loose end of the cable, and loop it through the valve handle and into the housing. Adjust the length of the 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 the outside edge of the housing so as not to interfere with a cover tamper.
The cover tamper switch can be wired into the plug circuit or wired as a separate circuit. (See wiring diagrams.)
Testing
The PTS-C and its associated protective monitoring system should be tested by applicable NFPA codes and standards and/or the authority having jurisdiction (the manufacturer recommends quarterly.

Be sure the valve is fully open before restoring PTS-C.
