Potter Electric Signal Co. PTS-C Plug Type Supervisory Switch

Product Description

The Potter Electric Signal Co. PTS-C is a plug type supervisory switch designed to monitor the position of indicating valves in fire protection and suppression systems. It provides a supervisory signal when the valve moves from its fully open position, alerting system operators to unauthorized or unintended valve movement. The PTS-C is part of the waterflow equipment category and is typically installed by licensed fire protection contractors or qualified sprinkler system technicians working on commercial and industrial suppression systems.

The PTS-C is used in applications where valve supervisory monitoring is required by NFPA standards or local fire codes. It is suited for installation on plug-type valves in wet, dry, and pre-action sprinkler systems. This switch is typically found in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and institutional properties where the status of control valves must be continuously monitored and reported to a fire alarm control panel.
