BVS
BALL VALVE WITH
SUPERVISORY SWITCH
GENERAL INFORMATION
The BVS utilizes a ball valve in conjunction with a switch
assembly. The switch assembly is enclosed in a tamper
resistant NEMA 4 enclosure. The switch assembly
monitors the fully open position of the valve. Two sets of
SPDT contacts are provided which will operate when the
valve position is altered from an open state.
On models with out the Tamper Switch Kit installed the
cover is held in place by two tamper resistant screws that
require a special tool to remove. The tool is furnished with
each device and should be left with the building owner or
responsible party. Replacement or additional cover
screws and hex keys are available.
