PADDLEWHEEL FLOW SWITCH – FLS F3.05

The simple insertion paddlewheel flow switch type F3.05 is designed to protect a pump from running dry or pumping against a closed valve. lt is equipped with a mechanical SPST contact activated when the flow velocity drops below the factory preset value of0.15 m/s (0.5 ft/s). The F3.05features a LED which show the flow status locally. A specially designed family of fitting ensures an easy andquick installation into all pipe materials in sizes from DN15to DN600 (0.5” to 24”).
