PADDLEWHEEL FLOW SENSOR – FLS F3.00
The simple and reliable paddlewheel flow sensor typeF3.00 is designed for use with every kind of solid-free liquids. The sensor can measure flow from 0.15 m/s (0.5 ft/s)producing a frequency output signal highly repeatable. A rugged construction and proven technology guarantee exceptional performances with little or no maintenance required. A dedicated electronic, with a push-pull output, is available for a safe connection to any kind of PLC/Instrument digital input. A specially designed family of fittings ensures an easy and quick installation into all pipe materials in sizes from DN15to DN600 (0.5” to 24”).
