MINI-SIZE FLOW SWITCHES
®
The Series V6 Flotect
®
Mini-Size Flow Switches are surprisingly
compact, and specically engineered to monitor liquid, gas, or air ows.
Time tested in thousands of pipeline installations and processing plants
around the world, this Series is Weatherproof, designed to meet NEMA 4
and Explosion-proof (listing included in specications). Tees are available
for installation in pipelines from 1/2˝ to 2˝. With bushings added the unit is
easily adapted to 1/4˝ and 3/8˝ piping.
• Unique magnetically actuated switching design gives superior performance
• Features a free-swinging vane which attracts a magnet within the solid metal switch body, actuating a snap switch by means
of a simple lever arm with no bellows, springs, or seals to fail
• Leak proof body machined from bar stock
• Electrical assembly can be easily replaced without removing the unit from installation so that the process does not have to
be shut down
•Choiceofmodelsinateewithcalibratedvaneoreldadjustabletrimmablevane
• Easy installation with simple pipe insert via tee and simple electrical switch connections
• High-pressure rating of 1000 psig (69 bar) with brass body and 2000 psig (138 bar) with stainless steel body
•Lowowmodelofferseldadjustablesetpoint
• Protects pumps, motors and other equipment against low or no ow
• Controls sequential operation of pumps
• Automatically starts auxiliary pumps and engines
• Stops liquid cooled engines, machines and processing when coolant
ow is interrupted
• Shuts down burner when air ow through heating coil fails
• Controls dampers according to ow
• Signals alarm when emergency shower or eyewash station in use

Pressure drop (head loss) is a function of both
set point and ow rate. Typically, pressure drop at
actuation ow rate listed will be 5-10 psid (.34-.69
bar). Pressure drops at other ow rates will vary in
proportion to the (change in ow).
