Applications Engineering - Model FS-380P -Inline Flow Switch for Industrial Applications
The FS-380P Series Flow Switch is a robust inline device designed to meet the demanding requirements of various industrial applications. Operating on the reliable principle of magnetic field sensing, this switch ensures non-clogging performance comparable to that of its metal counterpart, the FS-380. With a fixed set point and straightforward design, the FS-380P provides dependable flow detection, making it particularly suitable for fluid monitoring in HVAC, semiconductor, welding, and medical fields. Its operational mechanism involves a reed switch activated by a permanent magnet's proximity, offering precise control over electrical circuit closure. Supporting up to 16 Bar pressure, the FS-380P is LPCB approved, indicating its effectiveness and reliability for critical applications requiring consistent flow detection and operation.
This rugged inline flow switch offers the same superior performance to non-clogging as its metal cousin (FS-380). The fixed set point and simple design make it an extremely dependable switch. The FS-380P is an ideal choice for coolant applications requiring reliable flow detection in HVAC, semiconductor, welding, medical and other industries.
Principle
When the magnetic field of permanent magnet inside the shuttle or piston is moved into the proximity of the reed switch inside the stationary stem, the reed switch contacts “snap” together and closes the electrical circuit. When the magnetic field is moved away from the reed switch, the reed switch contacts move apart and the circuit is opened.
