Flow Switch Summary

The FS2000H Flow Switch delivers a combination of the highest flow range, accuracy and response time available with any thermal dispersion switch. It is equally well suited for water, liquid, slurries, air, and gases. The switch set point is fully field settable. Its unique "flat face" sensor is designed to be mounted flush to the inner pipe surface or can be extended into the media.

FS2000H can be used in clean or dirty media and is unaffected by entrained bubbles or particulates. its no moving parts technology ensures years of maintenance-free, non-clogging performance and creates no pressure drop  in the system. FS2000H temperature compensation, not found in lesser switches, ensures highly repeatable switching in actual field conditions.

Input power can be 24 Vac or Vdc, 100/240 Vac, or loop power where instrument works off common 4-20 mA current loop. Signal for alarm or limit trips can be 6A, SPDT relay or transistor output. Rugged NEMA 4X [IP66] rated enclosure and 316L SS all-welded, sensor element delivers durable long life.
