Flow Indicating Switch
Flow Indicating Switch
Armor-Floâ„¢ meters provide even more effective process control input with switching capabilities. Simple electromechanical switches define your process limits. Adjustable switches provide positive indication of flow/no flow conditions and may be positioned to actuate at specific flow rates. The design of the switch is to capture the indicator, preventing movement until the flow rate is once again within the acceptable range. The switches are SPDT glass encapsulated reed type rated at 0.25 amperes at 120V ac (1.5 amperes at 24V dc). This switch is appropriate for use in Class 1, Division 2 areas.
