The M-100 Series is an extremely sensitive flow switch. This has
been engineering to monitor vital sample flow parameters for
instrumentation in process control and inert blanket gases. It is
used as an auxiliary alarm monitor for flow meters and is ideally
suited for applications when installed on a by-pass for
determination of filter plugging.
Infinite adjustment permits detection and signaling of very low
fluid flows with the added capability of detection in high flows.
Operation
The magnetic piston rests at the bottom of the switch with no
flow present. Once flow is established, the piston moves upward
responding to a by-pass
flow and actuates the reed
switch. The by-pass flow is
controlled by a manual
adjusting screw controlling
the variable orifice. When
flow decreases, the piston
moves downward and the
reed switch deactuates.
Universal mounted units are
outfitted with a spring
Illustrated is the M-100
which resets the piston.
Model with 1/8” ports.
