Paddle Type Micro Water Flow Switch Single Stage
Paddle type water flow switch
Description
The shell of KWFS water flow switch is made of ABS&PC composite material, which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, making it suitable for relatively harsh working environment. At the same time, the protection grade of IP65 makes it effectively protect internal components and prolong the service life of the equipment.
Application
Control and monitor liquid flow of boilers, pumps, etc., of heating, cooling, and air conditioning equipment.

Note:
①For flow rates with suffix "Z", the 6 inch paddle must be installed.
②The flow rate unit of the above table is GPM (m /h)
Electrical Wiring
Installation
The flow switch can be installed in every position far from elbows or throttlings, with arrow on flow direction. If pipe is vertical, recalibrate range to balance paddle weight. If the device is downwards mounted, take care to slags and apply it in a straight pipe that is far from filters,valves,etc.,with length at least 5 times the diameter of pipe upstream and downstream the unit.
Note:
The flow switch is factory calibrated at its minimum sensitivity.To increase the set valve,turn the adjustment screw clockwise.The cut-out valve must be ≥the minimum flow necessary to guarantee the protection of the plant.
