Hvac water flow switch
Description
KWFS target flow switch is a type of shell made of ABS and PC
composite materials, which can effectively protect against
high-temperature corrosion. Meanwhile, its blades are made of
stainless steel, which can well meet the needs of customers.
It is mainly used to measure and control the flow of liquid flowing
through pipelines, such as water, ethylene glycol, etc. The typical
application of the target type flow switch series is to use it in
places where interlocking action or disconnection protection is
required. The series of flow switches uses a large load single pole
double throw (SPDT) open target switch, featuring fast action
characteristics, ensuring the instantaneity of the flow switch.
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.

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.
