MASTER DEC Series Diesel Engine Fire Pump Controllers are of the Combined Manual and Automatic type; for the control of internal combustion engines driving centrifugal pumps. Controller operation is strictly in accordance with the latest requirements of the National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA-20 on Stationary Fire Pumps. The fundamental purpose of this controller is to automatically start an engine driven fire pump to provide the required volume and pressure for proper operation of the sprinkler system in the event of a fire in the properties protected by the system. The Start Signal is usually obtained from the Pressure Control Switch included in the controller. Basic Model DEC controllers are used with listed or approved fire pump engines. When additional options are included in the controller, the appropriate option symbol is included in the model number shown on the nameplate of the controller as follows: General Options RA or DA H M 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 X DPR DR G1 Included in G1 Group Option YES YES YES YES YES Description Built-in Dual Battery Charger and Alarm Energize to Stop (Caterpillar, Deutz and others) Manual, Non-Automatic (removes pressure transducer and adds test relay) Automatic Stop w/ Minimum Running Period Timer Electric Motor Lockout (including Dual Drive) Remote Start Inputs for Deluge Start and Remote Start Pushbutton A.C.

The Trip and Reset settings are changed by turning the 10 turn trip and reset potentiometers either clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease.
PRESSURE SETTINGS
NOTE: When adjusting the Reset Setting or Trip Setting, first find out which direction you need to adjust the setting. If you need to adjust the Trip Setting up, you cannot adjust it past the Reset Setting without first adjusting the Reset Setting up. The two functions cannot overlap one another at any time, and will refuse to cross over each other. -In the following example imagine the two points as labeled on the diagram below (Note: the settings will not always be starting at 90 and 70): Example 1 Desired Trip Setting: 100 Desired Trip Setting: 100 Reset Setting: 90 Trip Setting: 70
Your Reset Setting is at 90, and your Trip Setting is at 70. You wish to adjust the Trip Setting up to 100. You must first adjust the Reset Setting above 100, then you can adjust the Trip Setting up to 100. Note: if you attempt to adjust the Trip Setting first it will refuse to set above 90, as this is limited by the Reset Setting which is set at 90. Continuing in the example of how to adjust the Trip Setting to 100: STEP 2 NEW Reset Setting: 110 Old Reset Setting: 90 Trip Setting: 70 As you see in Step 2 we move the Reset Setting above 100 before adjusting the Trip Setting. Notice that the new Reset Setting is now 110. This allows a 10 PSI differential with the Trip Setting goal of 100. The typical differential between the Reset Setting and Trip Setting is 10 PSI, although you may go as low as 3 PSI. STEP 3 Reset Setting: 110 NEW Trip Setting: 100 Old Trip Setting: 70
Another example Your Reset Setting is at 90, and your Trip Setting is at 70. You wish to adjust the Reset Setting to 60. You must first adjust the Trip Setting down below 60 by the appropriate differential of at least 3 PSI (the typical differential is 10). This then allows you to adjust the Reset Setting to 60. STEP 2
As you can see in Step 2 we first lower the Trip Setting below the desired Reset Setting of 60. STEP 3 Old Reset Setting: 90 New Reset Setting: 60 Trip Setting: 50
We now adjust the Reset Setting down to the desired level of 60.
START-UP PROCEDURES
The following tests are required on each new installation. It is recommended that they be repeated yearly to prove the reliability of the controller, engine, and battery equipment. NOTE: When tests are completed, be certain to return the control switch to the "AUTO" position. I. Manual Starting
NOTE: Before starting energize to stop engines, verify that battery voltage is present at Terminal 12 when the Main Selector Switch is in the OFF position. If not, contact factory before starting engine. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. Place Main Selector Switch in the MANUAL position. Place the Battery Selector Switch in the BAT1 position. Depress Manual START Pushbutton and release when engine starts. Turn control switch to OFF position to stop engine. Place Battery Selector Switch in the BAT2 position. Depress Manual START Pushbutton and release when engine starts. Turn control switch to OFF position to stop engine. NOTE: Observe battery voltage while cranking. If voltage drops below 75% of nominal, it may be an indication of impending battery failure.
II.
Cranking Cycle Test This test simulates a condition when the engine refuses to start as covered in the preceding "OPERATION OF PANEL" sequence. A. B. Contact the engine manufacture to determine how to disable the engine fuel circuit. Place the Main Selector Switch in the AUTO position. Push the TEST pushbutton. The Drain Valve Solenoid will open to create a Pressure Drop and initiate cranking of the engine. The engine should crank six times after which the audible alarm will sound, the Failure to Start signal light will energize and the Remote Engine Failure Alarm will be energized. Return Main Selector Switch to the OFF position, reconnect Terminal No. 1, and all engine devices, if previously disconnected. Drain Valve Solenoid will continue to dump water until control switch is placed in OFF position.
C. D. III.
Checking Starting Motor Release A. Place Main Selector Switch in the AUTO position and press the TEST pushbutton. Engine should start promptly and the starting motor should release at approximately 1/3 engine speed. Check that the starter releases by watching the LEDs on Terminal 2, 9 or 10. Verify that the Terminal 9 or 10 LED goes Off when the Terminal 2 LED goes On. B. Return switch to OFF position to stop engine. Oil Pressure Failure Test A. Place Main Selector Switch in the AUTO position and press the TEST pushbutton to start the engine. B. Connect temporary jumper between terminal of oil pressure switch (jumper CTB1-4 and CTB1-11A or CTB1-11B) and battery common. Engine Failure Alarm will operate approximately 10 seconds later. C. Turn switch to OFF position to stop engine. D. Remove jumper from oil switch.
IV.
NOTE: Whenever the engine is started, the oil pressure light will come on momentarily and go off when engine builds up oil pressure. This indicates oil pressure switch is operating properly.
VI.

VIII.
IX.
AC Power Failure Starting Test (Only for controllers equipped with Option "5", G1) A. Place Main Selector Switch in the AUTO position. B. Open the 115 Vac circuit to the controller at any convenient point. C. After delay, depending on the time setting, which is usually set at approximately 10 seconds, engine should start and continue to run. Reconnect 115 Vac D. Turn switch to OFF position to stop engine or depress STOP pushbutton to stop engine.
NOTE: On controllers that have AUTOMATIC stop, the engine will run for the time setting on the DC-CU chassis, provided the power has been restored, and then stop automatically.
NOTE: On controllers which have AUTOMATIC STOP, the engine, when started from pressure switch or deluge start contact, will run for the time delay set or until the pressure or deluge demand is reset, whichever takes longer. STOP button will not stop engine, unless demand has cleared. XI. Remote / Deluge Starting Test (For controllers equipped with Option "4", G1) A. Place Main Selector Switch in AUTO position. B. Operate a remote starting contact or disconnect the wire from CTB4, terminal #33 on the DC-CU chassis. Use terminal #32 for Deluge Valve starting. C. Engine should start automatically and continue to run even after the circuit to terminal #32 or #33 has been re-established. Minimum Run shutdown only works with Deluge. D. Place switch in OFF position or depress STOP pushbutton to stop engine. Automatic Weekly Starting Test (Weekly Test Start when enabled See P.10) A. Place Main Control Switch in AUTO position. B. Press the Weekly Test button on the DC-CU chassis. C. Drain Valve Solenoid will energize and dump water to cause a pressure loss start. E. Engine will start and run for 30 minutes. The Drain Valve will close after engine is running. F. After 30 minutes, the engine will stop. G. Weekly test will occur again seven days later at the same time that the weekly test button was last pressed. It can be defeated by removing the jumper in the DC-CU chassis (See P.10). Battery Failure Test A. Place Main Selector Switch in AUTO position. B. Temporarily disconnect the battery charger by opening the 115 Vac circuit to the controller at any convenient point.
XII.
XIII.
NOTE: If controller is equipped with option "5"(G1), Power Failure Start, set the rotary switch on the DC-CU chassis to 0 to disable. C. D. E. F. G. H. XIV. Disconnect main cable from battery #1, or alternatively, disconnect and insulate the wire from terminal #6. After a brief delay, the Battery 1 Failure Signal, audible alarm, and Remote Engine Failure Alarm should all operate. Repeat Pressure Starting Test (Paragraph X). Engine should start normally. Control should be capable of performing all previously described Tests. Reconnect battery cable (or re-connect wire to terminal #6) and depress battery failure RESET pushbutton (Battery 1 fail signal and alarms should de-energize). Repeat steps A through E above except disconnect battery #2. Reconnect Battery Charger and reset Power Failure Start timer, if used.
Sequence Start Test (Option"9", G1) A. Most automatic start signals active in the AUTO positions will be delayed by the Sequence Start rotary switch setting on the DC-CU chassis. Does not delay remote start. B. On Power Fail Start (Option "5", G1), the engine should start after the combined delays of the AC Power Failure Start and Sequence Start delays. - 16 -
CONTROLLER OPERATION
OFF Position: This is a safety position on the Main Selector switch which prevents the engine from starting during periods of engine maintenance. It is also used to reset the control after a Failure to Start, Overspeed Shutdown, High Water Temperature, or Low Oil Pressure. NOTE: Set the Main Selector switch to the OFF position before making final connections to the batteries and before energizing the A.C. (Mains) Power circuit. BATT Position: Placing the Battery Selector Switch in BATT1 or BATT2 selects which battery is used during cranking in the MAN Position. MAN Position: This position on the Main Selector Switch is for manual starting of the engine through the Manual START Pushbutton. To crank on battery 1, place the Battery Selector Switch to BAT 1 and push the START Pushbutton. To crank on battery 2, place the Battery Selector Switch to BAT 2 and again push the START Pushbutton. Initial testing of the engine is usually accomplished in this manner. It may also be used in case of emergencies to bypasses all automatic circuitry. NOTE: All alarm circuits are active in manual positions. AUTO Position: Placing the Main Selector Switch in the AUTO position energizes the "AUTO ON" signal light. This indicates that the controller is in the standby position, ready to start the engine should an emergency occur. RESET Pushbutton: This pushbutton is located on the upper left front of the control cabinet. Depressing this pushbutton resets the battery failure circuits and silences the audible alarm. If either Battery Failure lights remains lit or re-lights, a defective battery bank is indicated. NOTE: Operate the battery failure RESET pushbutton prior to putting the controller in operation. TEST Pushbutton: With the Main Selector Switch in the AUTO position, pressing the TEST pushbutton opens the drain valve solenoid to initiate the engine starting sequence by a pressure drop. The TEST position should be used for routine starting. This mode of operation brings into use all of the automatic cranking, running, and safety shutdown circuits. When the engine starts, the Remote Engine Running Alarm contacts transfer. STOP Pushbutton: The basic controller is furnished for Manual Stop. When a pump demand occurs, such as low pressure, the engine will start and continue to run until the control switch is placed in the OFF position. Engine may also be stopped by depressing the "STOP" Pushbutton provided that all the starting demands have been satisfied. If they are not, the engine will not stop when the STOP button is pressed. PRESSURE Switch (PS): These controllers are equipped with a pressure transducer Start (Trip) and Stop (Reset) control circuit. If the Start or Stop pressure setting(s) need to be set or the settings changed, follow these instructions: A. Pressurize the system using the Jockey Pump or by Running the Fire Pump. This is to avoid pump starting while setting the Pressure Switch Start and Stop set points. To check the pump Start (Trip) set point (setting), operate the METER toggle switch on the side of the display box (door mounted) to the START PRESSURE position and observe the reading on the digital display. The value displayed is the pump Start (Trip) pressure set point. The pump will start whenever the system pressure is below this value.

Make sure the pump discharge valve is open and that any other valves are properly set.
Failure to Start: If the engine does not start in approximately 15 seconds, cranking will stop for about 15 seconds and then continue in "crank" and "rest" periods for a total of six (6) cranking attempts (with five rest periods) or a total overall starting cycle of about 2-3/4 minutes. If the engine has not started by this time, all further cranking will discontinue, starting and running circuits will remain energized, the "Failure to Start" light will energize, the Alarm Bell will sound, and the Remote Engine Failure Alarm contacts will transfer. The controller must be reset by placing the control switch in the OFF position. NOTE: If the engine starts and runs but the speed switch or other crank terminate signal does not energize terminal 2, the engine will continue to run with the Failure To Start LED on. Low Oil Pressure: If the lube oil pressure of the engine falls below the setting of the oil pressure switch while the engine is running, the Low Oil Pressure signal light will energize. After approximately 10 seconds the controller alarm bell will sound and the Remote Engine Failure Alarm contacts will transfer. Engine will continue to run. The controller does not shutdown the engine on low oil pressure unless it is running in the Weekly Test or Test mode. The Low Oil Pressure LED remains on until the Main Selector Switch is turned Off. NOTE: Whenever the engine is started, the Low Oil Pressure signal light is energized momentarily until engine builds up oil pressure. This indicates oil pressure switch is operating properly. High Water Temperature: Should the temperature of the engine cooling water system exceed the setting of the engine high water temperature switch, the High Water Temperature light is energized, the controller audible alarm sounds and the Remote Engine Failure Alarm contacts transfer. Engine will continue to run. The controller does not shutdown the engine on high engine jacket water temperature unless it is running in the Weekly Test or Test mode. The High Water Temperature LED remains on until the Main Selector Switch is turned Off. Battery Failure: If the voltage of a battery drops below about 2/3rds of its nominal rating for more than one or two seconds, usually while the engine is cranking, the controller will indicate a battery failure by energizing the corresponding "Battery Failure" signal light. Simultaneously, all control cranking and running circuits are locked - 18 Master Control Systems, Inc.

Wire Size #12 AWG #14 #16 #18 #20 #22 #24 #26
NOTE: Resistance and number of splices and contacts in circuit must be taken into consideration when calculating size of wire to be used. A single splice may exceed the total resistance of 1,000 Ft. or more of wire. Charger Failure - Option "A": All controls are provided with Charger Failure circuitry to detect a loss of A.C. Power to the controller or a mal-function of either battery charger. Either condition will energize the "Charger Failure" light and transfers the Remote Engine Failure Alarm contacts. This circuitry resets immediately upon restoration of A.C. Power and/or replacement of battery charger input fuse. The Alarm Bell does not actuate on Charger Failure Alarm to avoid additional battery drain. A.C. Power Failure Start - Option "5", G1: Controllers so equipped are furnished with a Power (Mains) Failure Start Time Delay circuit on the DC-OM Options Module board on the DC-CU chassis. This is to prevents the engine from starting on brief power interruptions. The time range is 20 to 300 second, in 20 second intervals. The time delay is set by operating 16 position rotary switch marked "POWER FAIL START" to the desired position. Position "0" defeats this option (no start on power failure). Position "1" is 20 seconds, position "9" is - 20 Master Control Systems, Inc.
DEC Issue 02-v02
NORMAL OPERATION: When power is first applied, the Charger will normally supply its full rated current in the high rate mode, as indicated by the Charger ammeter(s). The current will remain at the current limit value until the battery approaches full charge. It will then taper down toward 75% of rated current and then drop to zero indicating the battery is charged and the Charger has switched to float mode. The Charger will then begin to supply whatever is required by battery leakage and external loads. NOTE: The Charger should remain in high rate mode for no more that 24 hours when used with a fully discharged good battery of proper size and type and with no external loads. Adding electrolyte to a "dry charge" battery results in the battery being approximately 2/3 charged. Thus, for an MBC3, while cranking, the cranking battery will cause that charger to switch to the high rate (momentary full scale on the ammeter) then to current limiting (10 Amps or 20 amps) until the battery is charged. When the engine is running the engine generator or alternator will normally cause the control battery charger output to be reduced. CHARGER MAINTENANCE: There are no field adjustments to be made on these chargers. The only adjustable device is the float voltage adjustment trim pot on the regulator P.C. board which is factory set using precision equipment. The same is true of the two charger failure trim pots on the DFA dual charger failure alarm board (PC3).
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
WEEKLY TESTING: To insure reliable automatic starting in event of an emergency, the engine and controller must be operated once a week for a minimum of 30 minutes. To do this, first enable the Weekly Test Jumper (See P.10 for a diagram). If not enabled, the controller will not start every week automatically. Once enabled, to initiate the weekly start press the Weekly Test button on the DC-CU chassis. The controller will start immediately and then subsequently at the same time every week. Even when Weekly Test Starting is accomplished automatically, someone should be present at the pump house to make sure all systems are operating properly. The following is a suggested list of items which should be covered at this time: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Check specific gravity (before cranking) and height of electrolyte in battery. If necessary, replace water lost through evaporation. Make sure neither "Battery Failure" light is on. Energized battery failure lights indicate the possibility of battery failure. Check crank case oil level. Check water level in heat exchanger. Observe voltmeters on controller while engine is cranking. EXCESSIVE (25% or more) voltage drop will usually be the first indication of battery trouble and should be investigated immediately.
The Authority(s) having Local Jurisdiction (AHJ) may wish to add further items to the above. Also, refer to NFPA-25 Standard on Maintenance and Testing for further information and guidance. BATTERIES: (Lead Acid) The engine starting batteries are the heart of the entire system and although the battery charger incorporated in this control is fully automatic and incorporates the most modern techniques in charge control, there is no substitute for proper and periodic maintenance. CAUTION: AS SOON AS ELECTROLYTE IS ADDED TO BATTERIES, CONNECT AND ENERGIZE BATTERY CHARGER TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO BATTERIES. Inspect batteries once each month to make certain all connections are tight. Remove dust or dirt accumulations from top of batteries. Neutralize acid on covers and terminals by cleaning with ammonia or soda solution (1 pound baking soda per gallon of water). Be sure to keep terminals and metal parts free of corrosion. Never allow water level to drop below top of battery plates. NOTE: Take care to follow all instructions, cautions and warnings provided with the batteries by the battery manufacturer. If the batteries do not come up to full charge (1.240 to 1.285 specific gravity reading), check the charger float voltage.

GENERAL
Overview: The Master Control Systems, Inc. Model PR4001N, Paperless Recorder, is a microprocessor based recorder specifically designed to communicate through an RS-232 serial port directly to a lap-top computer or a network server. The built-in modem may also be used to access the system. The PR4001N constantly monitors the system pressure, at a rate of three times per second, and records it into permanent non-volatile solid state memory (NVSRAM or EEPROM) every hour or when the pressure changes by more the 5 psi (default setting) from the last saved value. The recorder also monitors and records all alarm and status change events into memory. All recorded alarm and pressure data are time stamped with the date and time of the event recorded. The recorder is independent of the controller and vice versa. Failure of one does not impede the function of the other. The unit will also record in the absence of A.C. line (mains) power. The unit can also be provided as a free standing unit with battery back-up and battery charger. Fire Pump Controller Option Designations: The basic recorder model number is the above PR4001N which includes both pressure and alarm recording and also contains a built-in modem. As such it replaces previous units designated PR4001A (pressure and alarm recording). When provided as part of a fire pump controller, the controller model designations are as follows: Modification (Mod. Code) XPN includes a Model PR4001N Paperless Pressure and Alarm Recorder with built in dial-up modem. Modification XPS adds Digital pressure switch contacts and a pair of three digit set point switches for both start (low) and stop (reset) pressure set points. Modification XPN in EC** Series Electric Motor Drive Fire Pump Controllers also includes built-in battery back-up using non-rechargeable batteries. Mod. XPBnn provides longer back-up times and rechargeable batteries and battery charger. Note: Mod. XPN in DCF Series Diesel Engine Drive Fire Pump Controllers uses the two engine batteries for battery back-up. Equipment Provided: When installed in a fire pump controller, the system consists of: 1) a through-the-door 4 line by 40 character (160 total characters) LCD display with back-lighting for dim environments, 2) three exterior sealed operator toggle switches for control of the alarm and pressure display and history display and for watch check-in, 3) Solid State Pressure transducer which is in addition to the controller's pressure switch, 4) Interior switches to control unit reset (three types of reset are provided), system security (pass word control) and status send function, 5) Built in Hayse compatible dial-up and auto-answer, unless option XPNT (network enabled) is provided, and 6) RS-232 customer serial port for data access and control.
GENERAL - Continued
Connectivity: Controllers equipped with option XPNT are network enabled. The internal modem is replaced by a network server device. This allows direct connection to an Ethernet hub or server for connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN) or Internet Access. The device has separate password protection. It uses TCP/IP protocol and is assigned an IP address which can be changed in the field. A work sheet is supplied with the appropriate network parameters. A customer supplied IP address and sub-net mask can be pre-programmed by the factory upon notification.
INSTALLATION
Installation consists of a telephone line connection to the phone line terminal block screws. For wall mounted units, a pressure sense line, 115 VAC power, and alarm contact inputs must be brought to the unit in addition to the phone line. The alarm contacts must be "dry" contacts ("volt free").
START-UP PROCEDURES
1) Power up the controller. The unit will begin its self-tests and initialization. After initialization, the Process LED should be flashing. 2) Hold down the "Send Status" pushbutton and momentarily press the Reset pushbutton. Continue holding the Send Status push button down until the "Init" LED goes out, release the "Send Status" pushbutton. This is known as a "default reset". It returns all system settings to their factory values. To clear the permanent memory, repeat this procedure while holding the "Scroll Down" switch. Whenever the batteries have been replaced, the "Replace Battery" message and the internal battery failure needs to be reset. This is accomplished by holding the "Scroll Up" switch while initializing. Note that the internal batteries should be replaced annually to maintain maximum capacity. 3) Set the Security switch to off. 4) Set the "pressure/alarm" toggle on the outside of the controller to the desired position. Push down on the "scroll" toggle to see the history. After a large amount of data is gathered, holding down the scroll toggle will scroll through 20 points at a time. Push up on the "watch check" toggle to check in. This also returns the display back to the main screen in 3-4 seconds. 5) Check the Time & Date. If the time or date is not correct, adjust as indicated below: 5a) Make sure the "Security" is not in the "ON" position. 5b) While holding the "Check-In" switch, press and release the "Reset" pushbutton. 5c) When the ** TIME/DATE ENTRY ** screen appears, release the "Check-In" switch and follow the instructions as stated. 5d) Adjust the value with the "Scroll Up/Down" switch as necessary and use the "Check-In" switch to enter the new value and advance to the next field. Note that the Daylight Savings flag, 'Daylight=', may also be set from this screen.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
General: The PR4001N Paperless Pressure Recorder reads pressure signals from a pressure transducer and stores significant values in non-volatile computer memory for later down-loading to either a lap-top computer or to a phone modem. It reads the transducer frequently but only stores data which has changed significantly from the last stored data. It consists of two main elements. Namely: 1) PR4001N Display Back Box. Door mounted, this unit contains the RS-232 serial port connector, serial port & system monitor LED's, pressure transducer connector, Pressure display, and miscellaneous cable connectors. It also contains a PR-PWR Switch, LED and Power supply board, PR-CPU Main Computer board and the PR-AIF Alarm Interface board. 3) Pressure transducer. This is a solid state strain gage type transducer which is powered by the PRPWR board. PR4001N systems having option "P" (power supply for use outside of a Fire Pump Controller) are supplied in separate enclosures and also contain: a) Model MBC6M Dual Rate Automatic Mode Switching battery charger. b) 24 Vdc Battery bank. c) Optional Alarm Output relay modules, typically for: Pump Running Pump Failure System Trouble -or- Pumproom Trouble Local Power Supplies: Units installed into controllers derive power from the controller. The system may be powered from 12Vdc or 24Vdc power or may be powered from various AC power sources (with auxiliary stepdown transformer). The PR-PWR board converts the various input power to +5 Vdc logic power, +15 and -15 Vdc analog and +CP control power supplies. Units with option "P" (PR4001NP) are supplied in a separate enclosure which also contains batteries and a dual rate automatic mode switching battery charger. PR-PWR Switch LED Power Supply Board: In addition to power conversion, this board produces the power needed by the pressure transducer and monitors this power for transducer shorted or transducer open circuit conditions. It conditions, scales and offsets the pressure signal from the transducer. It supplies the conditioned, scaled and offset signal to the A/D convertor on the PR-CPU board for the local pressure display on the PR4001N door display. PR-CPU Memory & Ports board: This board contains the processor, memory, and other peripheral and data bus circuitry including the on board modem. It contains a real time clock for time/date stamping of the data readings and non-volatile memory (EEPROM or NVSRAM) for storing the data readings. PR-AIF Alarm Interface board: This board contains opto-isolators (Alarm Inputs) systems for both the dry contact and/or voltage input alarm signals.

Operating Instructions
Models 4817 -and- 4817L Low Fuel Switches - and 6288 High Fuel Switch Installation: The switch is to be installed in a 2" nominal thread tank opening. The switch is to be tightened by the flats located between the threads and the switch body. Do not wrench or torque the switch body. The wiring is terminated in 3/8" seal-tight flexible conduit which is terminated with a 1/2" nominal male threaded conduit fitting. The maximum current rating of the switch is 1/2 Amp. at 28 V.A.C. See drawing for float setting and installation details. Low Fuel Switch Sequence: The Model 4817 and 4817L N.C. Low Fuel Switch consists of a "Form A" reed capsule, an actuating magnet and, a ferrous magnet shunt. When the float is down (low fuel) the magnet shunt is lowered out of the magnet field which causes the reed switch to close. This represents the alarm condition. When the float is up the magnet shunt bypasses the magnet field away from the reed switch causing it to be open. This is the "normal" non-alarm state. High Fuel Switch Sequence: The Model 6288 N.O. Low Fuel Switch consists of a "Form A" reed capsule, an actuating magnet and, a ferrous magnet shunt. When the float is up (high fuel) the magnet shunt is raised out of the magnet field which causes the reed switch to close. This represents the alarm condition. When the float is down the magnet shunt bypasses the magnet field away from the reed switch causing it to open. This is the "normal" non-alarm state. Adjustment: Drawing 4817, 4817L & 6288 shows float adjustment data for various sizes of tanks. Low Fuel Alarm is normally considered to be at levels below 80% full.
