Section 2 System Components and Description
2.5.2 Discharge Pressure Switch
P/N 97428 (See Figure 2.5.2)
A discharge pressure switch is used in the system to send a signal confirming
agent discharge to the control panel or to initiate the shut down of
equipment that may deplete agent concentration. It is a single pole, double
throw (SPDT) switch with contacts rated 15 Amps at 125/250/480 VAC
and 0.5 Amps at 125 VDC. It has a NEMA 4X enclosure. e discharge
pressure switch shall be required where mechanical system actuation is
possible, though its placement varies according to the individual system
arrangement. (Refer to Section 4.1.5 for installation.)
2.5.2.1 Explosion-Proof Discharge Pressure Switch, Self-Restoring
P/N 97430 (See Figure 2.5.2.1)
A self-restoring NEMA 4X, 7, 9 and IP 67 Explosion-Proof Discharge Pressure
Switch can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres to send indication of
agent discharge to a releasing panel and/or initiate the shut down of equipment
that may deplete agent concentration. It is a self-restoring double pole, double
throw (DPDT) switch with contacts rated 5 Amps at 125/250 VAC and 28
VDC resistive. It is factory set at 50 psig (3.44 bar) rise. (Refer to Section 4.1.5
for installation.)
