IMPORTANT
The low- and high-limit pressure sensing switches, and the automatic control switch for the air compressor, have been
factory-adjusted for proper operation per this manual. DO NOT attempt to adjust these switches without authorization
from UNITED Fire Systems. These switches have factory-applied tamper seals. DO NOT break these seals.
Failure to follow these instructions can lead to improper
STANDPIPE-

operation and will void the factory
warranty.
IMPORTANT
Pressure values indicated by the
STANDPIPE-
PAC™
pressure gauge are APPROXIMATE. Variation from nominal
values can be expected.
