Dual-switch Model — EPS40EXP and EPS120EXP

1.  Install pressure switch as stated in “INSTALLATION” portion 

of instruction manual. Attach pressure test source to system.

2.  Remove adjustment wheel cover and back off locking screw 

(see Figure 1) to allow main adjustment wheel to rotate freely.

3.  Option 1: To adjust the nominal setting of the pressure win-

dow (low switch setting to high switch setting) without affect-

ing the size of the window, adjust the main adjustment wheel, 

Figure 1, to the desired setting using the pressure source to 

verify each switch setting. Each tine on the wheel represents 

an approximate window shift of 1.8 PSI for the EPS40EXP 

and 6.6 PSI for the EPS 120EXP. For each 1/2 rotation of the 

adjustment wheel, the window changes by approximately 11 

PSI for the EPS 40EXP and 40 PSI for the EPS 120EXP.

  Option 2: To adjust the pressure window size and the nominal 

setting of the pressure window, adjust the main adjustment 

wheel, Figure 1, until the high switch (SW1) trips at the 

desired pressure using the pressure test source. Decrease the 

pressure until the low switch (SW2) trips. Note pressure and 

determine how much change is desired on the low switch. 

Adjust the 1/4

 hex screw, Figure 1, to either increase (coun-

terclockwise) or decrease (clockwise) the window size. (The 

low switch will be affected.) The approximate sensitivity of 

the hex screw adjustment: 1/2 turn = 5 PSI. An approximate 

maximum window size of 30 PSI is obtainable. Retest the high 

switch after adjusting the low switch.

4.  Retest the set points several times to ensure the accuracy of 

the settings.

5.  Re-seat locking screw.

6.  Re-install adjustment wheel cover.

NOTE:  The sensor assembly is not field replaceable. Do not 

attempt to disassemble these parts. If you have any 

questions, consult Safe Signal. Safe Signal recom-

mends careful consideration of the following factors 

when specifying and installing Alarm and Supervisory 

Pressure Switches. Always refer to the Installation and 

Maintenance Instruction for specific recommendations 

on individual devices before installing the unit.

  •  Electrical ratings stated in literature and on nameplates 

should not be exceeded.

  •  Overload on switch can cause failure on the first cycle. 

Always wire devices according to national and local electri-

cal codes.

  •  Install units away from shock and vibration. Proper electri-

cal fittings should be used to prevent moisture from enter-

ing the enclosure via the conduit.

  •  Test all devices for proper operation after initial installa-

tion. Perform preventive maintenance and periodic testing 

as required by the applicable NFPA standards but not less 

than bi-monthly.

  •  Install a back-up control for all critical applications where 

control failure could endanger life or property. A backup 

control to serve as a high or low limit control is especially 

recommended for applications where a runaway condition 

could result.

  •  Do not mount unit where ambient temperatures will 

exceed published limits.

  •  Avoid impact or mechanical loading.
