DS02 Miniature Variable Area Flow Switch


DESCRIPTION
The flow meter and switch model DS02 works according to a modified variable area principle. The float is guided in a cylindrical measuring tube by means of a spring. The flowing medium moves the float in the flow direction. A Reed contact is mounted outside the meter in a sealed housing. When the float reaches the position of the Reed contact the switch will close. With higher flows the float moves further upward until it reaches a built-in float stop, still keeping the switch closed. This ensures a bistable switch function at any time. The Reed contact is adjustable over the full switching range of the meter.

FEATURES

Small Mounting Dimensions

Materials: Brass or Stainless Steel

Scales for Water and Air

Universal Mounting Position

High Switching Accuracy

Very Small Switch Hysteresis


APPLICATION
The variable area flow and switch model DS02 is used for monitoring the flow of low viscosity liquids and gases, i.e., in cooling circuits of welding machines and laser systems, for pump monitoring, compressors and many other applications.

SWITCHING HYSTERESIS
By careful selection of the Reed contacts, the switching hysteresis could be reduced to only 0.02" - 0.06" / 0.5 - 1.5 mm float movement.
