The Model VSR is a vane-type waterflow switch for use on wet sprinkler systems. It is UL Listed and FM Approved for use on steel pipe; schedules 10 through 40, sizes 2" thru 8" (50 mm thru 200 mm). LPC-approved sizes are 2" thru 8" (50 mm thru 200 mm).
The VSR may also be used as a sectional waterflow detector on large systems. The VSR contains two single pole, double throw, snap action switches, and an adjustable, instantly recycling pneumatic retard. The switches are actuated when a flow of 10 GPM (38 LPM) or more occurs downstream of the device. The flow condition must exist for a period of time necessary to overcome the selected retard period.
The VSR switches and retard device are enclosed in a general-purpose, die-cast housing. The cover is held in place with two tamper-resistant screws which require a special key for removal. A field-installable cover tamper switch is available as an option which may be used to indicate unauthorized removal of the cover.
