SYSTEM SENSOR WATER FLOW
AND SUPERVISORY SWITCHES
DESCRIPTION
WFDT, WFDTNR T-Tap Waterflow Detectors
The System Sensor WFD (with retard) and WFDTNR (less
retard) waterflow detectors are housed in durable, tamper
resistant enclosures and are designed for primary signaling
in residential and branch line signaling in larger systems.
The units contain a polyethylene vane which is inserted
through the tee fitting and connected by a mechanical linkage
to the trip mechanism. The detectors have a sensitivity in the
range of 4 to 30 gpm and a static pressure rating of 250 psi.
The units fit in any tee that has a 1" NPT branch including:
1", 1 1/4", or 1 1/2" threaded ferrous or brass tee; 1-2" copper
sweat tees; 1" CPVC tee; or 1 1/2" polybutylene tee. The
detectors come with nine different flexible paddles that fit the
specified tees.
The detectors are UL Listed for indoor/outdoor use.
Dual SPDT switches accommodate up to 12 AWG wire.
WFD Series Vane Type Waterflow Detectors
The System Sensor WFD Series waterflow detectors are
equipped with a computer designed paddle or vane which fits
Schedule 20 through Schedule 40 steel pipe sizes 2" through
8". They are equipped with a pneumatic retard, can be
mounted in a vertical or horizontal position and are suitable
for UL Listed outdoor wet pipe sprinkler installations. The
detectors have a sensitivity in the range of 4 to 30 gpm and a
static pressure rating of 250 psi.
Housed in a durable, enclosure with red epoxy painted
metal cover secured by self-guiding security screws, the
detectors are resistant to tampering.
The WFD Series is UL Listed for indoor/outdoor use.
Dual SPDT switches accommodate up to 12 AWG wire.
EPS10-1, EPS10-2 Alarm Pressure Switches
The System Sensor EPS10-1 and EPS10-2 Alarm Pressure
Switches are designed for use in wet, dry, deluge, and preaction automatic sprinkler systems to indicate a discharge
from a sprinkler. The switches feature field adjustable
pressure sensitivity to provide an alarm response between 4
and 20 psi. It is factory set to respond at 4-8 psi on rising
pressure. The pressure adjustment wheel requires no special
tools and does not affect switch synchronization on the
EPS10-2.
The EPS10 switches are UL Listed for weatherproof use
with a NEMA 4 rating.
A single SPDT switch on the EPS10-1 and dual SPDT
switches on the EPS10-2 accommodate up to 12 AWG wire.

OSY2 Supervisory Switch
The System Sensor OSY2 is used to monitor the open
position of an OS&Y (outside screw and yoke) type
gate valve. The switch is designed to mount easily on
most OS&Y valves ranging in size from 1" to 12". The
OSY2, without its gate valve bracket, can be used to
monitor side-bracket style pressure reducing valves. Its
three-position switch gives vandal and valve closed
signals.
The OSY2 is UL Listed for indoor/outdoor use.
Dual SPDT switches accommodate up to 12 AWG
wire.
PIBV2 Supervisory Switch
The System Sensor PIBV2 Supervisory Switch
monitors the open position of fire sprinkler control
valves of the post indicator, butterfly, or other valves.
The PIBV2 is designed to operate when the valve
position is altered from an open state. The switch can
be used for butterfly valves, post indicator valves, wall
post mount (with restrictions) recessed wall post valves
and many types of pressure reducing valves.
The PIBV2 is UL Listed for indoor/outdoor use.
Dual SPDT switches accommodate up to 12 AWG
wire.
EPS40-1 Low Pressure Supervisory Switch
The System Sensor EPS40-1 Low Pressure
Supervisory Switch is designed to detect a 10 psi
decrease from normal system pressure in automatic fire
protection systems. It is typically used to supervise
system air pressure in dry pipe systems or pressure
tanks and water pressure supplies of automatic water
control valves. It features field adjustable pressure
sensitivity between 10 and 100 psi. It is factory set to
be used in a nominal 40 psi system with a switch
transfer occurring at 30 psi. The pressure adjustment
wheel requires no special tools and can be used to adjust
the point at which the low switch activates.
The EPS40-1 switch is UL Listed for weatherproof
use with a NEMA 4 rating.
The SPDT switch accommodates up to 12 AWG wire.
EPS120-2 High/Low Pressure Supervisory Switch
The System Sensor EPS120-2 High/Low Pressure
Supervisory Switch is designed to detect a 10 psi
decrease or increase from normal system pressure in
automatic fire protection systems. It is typically used to
supervise system air pressure in pipes or pressure tanks
and water or air pressure supplies of automatic water
control valves. It features field adjustable pressure
sensitivity between 10 and 200 psi. It is factory set to
be used in a nominal 115 psi system with a switch
transfer occurring before 105 psi and a second transfer
occurring before 125 psi. The pressure adjustment
wheel requires no special tools and can be used to adjust
the nominal value of the “window” at which the low
and high switches activate.
The EPS120-2 switch is UL Listed for weatherproof
use with a NEMA 4 rating.
Dual SPDT switches accommodate up to 12 AWG
wire.
