Installation

1.  Remove  the  four  (4)  phillips  head  screws  from  the  four 

corners of the front of the alarm box. Remove the cover.

2.  Remove the circuit board from the alarm box.
3.  Mount the alarm box to the desired surface, utilizing the 

holes in the back surface of the box. Powerex alarm boxes 

are not waterproof. Mount in a location protected from the 

elements.

4.  After the box is mounted to the mounting surface, use the 

½”  conduit  bushing  to  attach  conduit  through  the  holes 

provided.

5.  Connect the wiring to the connectors on the top back of the 

circuit board as directed by Figures 7, 8, 9, and.

6.  Install  the  circuit  board  into  the  alarm  box.  Reinstall  the 

cover onto the alarm box.

8.  Apply  pressure  to  manifold.  The  green  “In  Service”  light 

should light. The red “Bank Depleted” light should go out.

9.  Reduce pressure below preset of pressure switch(es). When 

the pressure switch opens during decreasing pressure, the 

green “In Service” light should go out and the red “Bank 

Depleted” light should go on. The buzzer should sound on 

A/V models.

electrical equipment must be 

installed in accordance with requirements of the NFPA and 

applicable electrical codes and regula tions.
