General Information
The System Sensor 546-8000 cover tamper switch mounts
to EPS series pressure switches to monitor removal of the
cover. Cover removal produces a switch output. The unit
will reset when the product cover is reinstalled.
Wiring Instructions
1. Remove the pressure switch cover using the security
wrench provided with the pressure switch.
2. Attach the cover switch with the two screws provided
(see Figure 1).
3. Route wires away from the pressure switch mechanism.
4. Wire the circuit as shown in Figures 2, 3, or 4, or as required by the installation requirements and as approved
by the authority having jurisdiction. Clip the unused
wire from the tamper switch and use the wire nut to protect from shorting.
5. Perform the required system tests and include the cover
tamper switch in the test by alternately replacing and removing the cover to produce the desired circuit effects.
6. After testing, secure the cover with the security wrench.
