Potter PCVS-2 PCVS Series Control Valve Supervisory Switch, Double Switch

The device engages by the indicating assembly of the post indicator or the operating mechanism of the butterfly valve, actuating switches when the valve is fully open. It is best to install the unit where it is accessible for service. Two tamper-resistant screws hold the cover in place and require a special tool to remove. Each device comes with the tool necessary.

The operation of the PCVS and its associated protective monitoring system shall be tested upon completion of the installation and inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with all applicable local and national codes and standards and/or the Authority Having Jurisdiction, (manufacturer recommends quarterly or more frequently).

A minimum test shall consist of turning the valve operating mechanism towards the closed position. The PCVS shall operate within the first two revolutions of the operating mechanism. Fully close the valve and ensure the PCVS does not restore. Fully open the valve and ensure that the PCVS restores to normal.
