®
The Series V7 Flotect ® Flow Switch is an inexpensive switch for use with com-
patible liquids to start or stop electronic operated equipment when flow or no-flow
conditions occur. Magnetic operation is simple and dependable with no mechanical
linkages or seals to wear or leak. Lower body is machined solid metal bar stock as-
suring no leak points, no matter how long the unit is in service. Design is standard
weatherproof, meeting NEMA 4X, for application versatility. Robust vane design is
rigid and field trimmable for set point adjustment.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The flow switch is installed in a pipe to indicate flow/no-flow status. The paddle or
vane moves against a spring mechanism in the direction of flow with respect to the
amount of flow in the pipe. A magnet is located on the end of the vane inside the
lower housing. A second magnet located inside the upper housing moves from
magnetic attraction with the magnet attached to the vane. This upper magnet is
attached to a lever arm that activates a snap switch. The upper housing and lower
housing are separated by solid metal with no linkages or mechanisms to fail or
wear creating leaks. The spring mechanism returns the vane to the original position
as flow decreases.
