•Simple adjustment by means
of potentiometer
This DC self-contained flow device has a flow monitor and signal processor
incorporatedintoonecompacthousing.Itisidealformonitoringliquidflowspeeds
in the 2 to 295 ft/min range.
Theflowmonitorisdesignedforinstallationdirectlyintothepipelinebymeansofa
pipe-tee or welded pipe socket. It is suitable for use in a 1/2 inch pipe diameter or
larger.
Theflowmonitorprobeismadeof316TI stainlesssteelandthehousingismadeof
plastic. The flow monitor is rated for dynamic pressures up to 870 psi. The outputs
of the monitors feature a short-circuit protected PNP transistor.
Setpoint adjustments, in reference to flow speed, are achieved by means of an
adjuster located under the protective screw cap on the front of the device.

energized when flow speed is above the setpoint. Each of the six LEDs display the
differencetheactualflowspeedincomparisontotheflowspeedthatthesetpointis
adjusted to. The LEDs operate as follows:
Red LED: flow is below set point
Yellow LED: flow is at or above set point
Green LEDs: each LED indicates a percentage of flow above the setpoint
Notes: Available with relay output. Consult factory.
