s Dry Contact:
See illustration on front page. The PC Board has been factory set up for a 12 VDC Output to the Relay 2 coil when the alarm
activates. Relay 2 provides a Dry Contact for the optional use by the Customer. A cable strain relief port has been provided for the
Customer
’
s wiring to this Dry Contact Alarm signal. A maximum switching power of 24VDC 0.5 Amp is recommended.

Water Resistance:
The Pressure Differential Alarm Controller is water
-
proof, but not submersible. Do not install below ground level where the box can be
submerged in water. Keep the enclosure
’
s Clear cover latched during normal operation. Insure all strain reliefs have be properly tight-
ened to maintain this Nema 4X integrity. Periodically check inside the enclosure, with the power disconnected, and the cover plate
opened, for any signs of leakage.

ENERAL INFORMATION
Operation Instructions:
Remove the power supply from the box and insert the connector end into the socket on the bottom of the PDA housing, as indicated in
the drawing above. Plug the power supply into a nominal 120VAC power outlet. Standard systems are supplied with a Wall Plug
-
In
12VDC Power Supply, with an input power of 120VAC.
Please Note
-
In the case of an
“
Outdoor
”
use application, where there is a chance that the unit could get wet, it is the Cus-
tomer
’
s responsibility to provide a safe power outlet, in terms of being water proof, and physically able to accept the plug
-
in
power supply we provide. Miller
-
Leaman, Inc. also recommends that the installation be only performed by a qualified elec-
trician, and that all Local, State, and National Electrical Codes be followed.
The pressure differential switch
-
gauge is factory set to 7
-
8 PSI. Since the
Thompson Strainer
operates with less than 1 PSI loss
during maximum flow when the strainer screen is clean, the differential shown on the switch
-
gauge will be 1 PSI. Therefore, by the
time the differential pressure rises to 7
-
8 PSI, the strainer element will have become significantly clogged and will require immediate
removal and cleaning.
To adjust the pressure differential switch
-
gauge to a lower setting, simply turn the small black knob to move the differential set
-
point
contact (see illustration above) to the desired location.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND SETTING THE DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH
-
GAUGE HIGHER THAN 10 PSI. DISABLING THE ALARM
OR INCREASING THE ALARM SET POINT COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE STRAINER ELEMENT AND ALLOW DEBRIS
TO PASS INTO THE SYSTEM.
The alarm will latch
-
ON when the differential set point is reached and will stay latched until the Reset button is pressed. (If the Reset
button is pressed but the strainer remains beyond the acceptable differential pressure, the alarm will re
-
latch immediately). The
purpose of the alarm package is to alert maintenance personnel that the strainer element requires cleaning. Therefore, if the Alarm
Light is flashing, and has sounded, the strainer needs to be taken off
-
line and the strainer element needs to be cleaned as instructed
in the
STRAINER ELEMENT CLEANING
section of the
Thompson Strainer Owner
’
s Manual
.
After the strainer is cleaned and put back in service, the differential pressure should be back to 1 PSI. If the switch
-
gauge indicates a
1 PSI differential but the alarm is still sounding, press the Reset button.
