Robust Construction. Accuflow low flow detectors consist of a rugged enclosure for indoor and outdoor use. Like all System Sensor waterflow detectors, low flow models operate across a wide temperature range, from 32ºF to 120ºF (0°C to 49°C). Reliable Performance. Accuflow low flow detectors are intended for applications where flow detection of 3 GPM or greater is required. By incorporating a solid state retard, proper sensitivity, timing accuracy and switch resetting is assured. False Alarm Immunity. The solid state circuitry of Accuflow low flow detectors provides greater timing accuracy over traditional mechanical retard designs. This accuracy minimizes the risk of false alarms created by pressure surges or air trapped within the sprinkler system. Simplified Operation. Accuflow low flow detectors are designed to simplify installation. Wired like traditional waterflow detectors, these models do not require the installer to run an additional third wire. Two conduit openings permit easy attachment to the local alarm system. Engineering Specification Low flow rate vane-type water flow detector with solid state retard shall be an Accuflow model number ____________________ manufactured by System Sensor, and shall be installed on system piping as designated on the drawing and/or as specified herein. Detectors shall mount on a stainless steel clear pipe span of the appropriate nominal size, either on a ver tical upflow of horizontal run, at least 6” from any fittings which may change water direction, flow rate, or pipe diameter, or no closer than 24” from a valve or drain. Detectors shall be compatible with 2” through 4” diameter stainless steel and brass pipe. Detectors shall have a sensitivity of 3 gallons (11.35 liters) per minute minimum and a static pressure of 450 psi for 2” – 4” diameter pipes. The detector shall respond to water flow in the specified direction after a preset time delay. The delay mechanism shall be a solid state unit which is field-adjustable via a dipswitch. The detector’s actuation mechanism shall include a polyethylene vane inser ted through a hole in the pipe and connected by a mechanical linkage to the delay mechanism. Outputs shall consist of one SPDT switch (Form C contact) and one SPST switch (normally open contact) for wiring to an alarm panel or addressable control module and local bell and/or notification device. Two conduit entrances (one knockout type) for standard fittings of commonly used electrical conduit shall be provided on the detectors. A grounding provision shall be provided. Unless noted, enclosures shall be NEMA 4 listed by Under writers Laboratories, Inc. for indoor or outdoor use.
