Flow Rate Monitoring – RFO Type
4.5 to 24 VDC Pulsed Output
GEMS Sensors popularized the RotorFlow’s paddlewheel design by combining high
visibility rotors with solid-state electronics that are packaged into compact, panel
mounting housings. They provide accurate flow rate output with integral visual
confirmation...all with an unprecedented price/performance ratio. RFO Types feature a
VDC pulsed output.
Typical Applications
• Water Purification/Dispensing Systems • Chemical Metering Equipment
• Lasers and Welders • Water Injection Systems
• Semiconductor Processing Equipment • Chillers and Heat Exchangers
