The System Sensor OSY2 Outside Screw and Yoke Valve Supervisory Switch is designed to monitor the open position of OS&Y fire sprinkler control valves. When the valve moves away from its normal fully open position, the OSY2 changes contact state and sends a supervisory signal to the connected fire alarm system.
The OSY2 uses a rugged weatherproof die-cast housing and two SPDT Form C switches. It is designed for indoor or outdoor sprinkler-system applications and can be used on most OS&Y gate valves ranging from 1 to 12 inches.

OS&Y Valve Monitoring
The OSY2 is specifically designed to monitor:
Outside Screw and Yoke (OS&Y) gate valves
The actuator monitors movement of the valve stem. The switch is adjusted to operate when the valve moves from its normal fully open position.
The manufacturer specifies operation within approximately:
Two revolutions of the valve control
or when the valve stem has moved no more than:
One-fifth of its total travel
from the normal position.
Dual SPDT Contacts
The OSY2 incorporates:
Two SPDT Form C switches
Each provides:
Common
Normally Open
Normally Closed
contact functionality.
