These units are ideal for installation in hazardous locations classified as follows: Designed and approved to operate in hazardous locations Class I, Groups B, C, D, Division 1 & 2 Class II, Groups E, F, G, Division 1 & 2 Class III, Division 1 & 2 NEMA 4 enclosure rating Sensitivity setting spring mechanism located outside of explosion environment Sealed retard mechanism Visual switch activation Synchronized activation circuit Field-replaceable terminal block and retard mechanism Only one conduit entrance required for hook-up Robust Construction. The WFDEXP series consists of a rugged, NEMA 4 rated cast aluminum housing. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the WFDEXP series operates across a wide temperature range, from 32ºF to 160ºF. Inside, two sets of SPDT (Form C) synchronized switches are enclosed in a rugged terminal block, to assure reliable performance. Reliable Performance. The WFDEXP series offers unique features that assure greater operational reliability. By housing the spring mechanism separately from the explosion environment, the sensitivity of the adjustment spring and the detector is protected at all times. Adding to the WFDEXP’s reliability is its sealed retard mechanism, which prevents contamination by dust and dirt when the cover is removed. Simplified Operation. Like all System Sensor waterflow detectors, the WFDEXP series is designed to ease installation. With its visible switch activation, the WFDEXP’s retard timing can be verified, even during noisy conditions. E200116 44-00-E C169 3006195 Engineering Specifications Vane-type explosion proof waterflow detectors shall be installed on system piping on the drawing and/or as specified herein. Detectors shall be mounted in hazardous locations classified as: Class I, Div. 1 and 2, Groups B, C, D; or Class II, Div. 1 and 2, Groups E, F, G; or Class III, Div. 1 and 2. Detectors shall mount on any clear pipe span of the appropriate nominal size, either a vertical upflow or 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 have a sensitivity in the range of 4 to 10 gallons per minute and a static pressure rating of 450 psi for 2″–8″ pipes. The detector shall respond to waterflow in the specified direction after a preset time delay which is field adjustable. The delay mechanism shall be a sealed mechanical pneumatic unit with visual indication of actuation. The actuation mechanism shall include a polyethylene vane inserted through a hole in the pipe and connected by a mechanical linkage to the delay mechanism. Outputs shall consist of dual SPDT switches (Form C contacts). Two conduit entrances (one of which is a knockout type) for standard fittings of commonly used electrical conduit shall be provided on the detectors. A grounding provision is provided. Enclosures shall be NEMA 4 listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. All detectors shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for indoor or outdoor use.
