It serves pr im arily as a hydr aulic tim e delay to prevent most false alarms associated with fluctuating w ater supply pressur es. In situations wh er e excessive water pressure surges occur, the Model H Retarding C ham ber is needed to co llect excess w ater fro m the A l ar m Check Valve and feed water back into the main drain, before activating the al ar m . A n additional retarding cham- ber cou ld be needed if pr essure sur ges exceed t he capacity of on e retarding cham ber. W ater enters the retardin g chamber thro ugh the 1/2" N PT Inlet and auto maticall y fl ow s thro ugh a r estr ic ted or if ice and t o dr ain; w hen th e dr ain capacity is exceeded, as when the alarm check valve clapper remains open or when the system is being tested, the retarding chamber capacity is reached, and water then flows through the O utle t to the w ater m oto r alarm and / or el ec tric alarm switch. The bod y of the Retard ing C hamber has considerable duct ility to r educe dam age in field handling. A ll interior oper ating part s are machined from highly corrosive-resistant alloys, each having high strength and good wear resistance.  R  ET ARDING C  HAMBER  M ODEL H W ater W or king Pr e ssure Rating - 175 psi (12 bars).
