Product Description
The XLF flow sensor package is an input device for the IQS type controller used to measure
treated water flow. Flow data then provides one or all of the following functions:
•repeatedly measure and deliver a specified volume of treated water.
•digital instantaneous flow rate.
•digital instantaneous total treated water usage.
Packages are available for use in treated water pipe sizes from 1 inch through 6 inch. A wide
variety of installation fittings are available to assure compatibility with many commonly used
plumbing materials:
•Threaded galvanized
•Copper sweat
•PVC; CPVC
•Iron
•Steel
The XLF flow sensor package is comprised of:
•One (1) paddlewheel insertion type flow sensor element sized for the specified
pipe diameter
•One (1) installation fitting for the specified pipe type and size.
How It Works
The solid state paddlewheel flow sensor
works on a simple, but precise, electro-
mechanical principle. A magnetic rotor
positioned in the flow stream spins past a
solid state switch which in turn pulses a
low voltage DC current proportional to the
rate of flow. The rotor design ensures an
accurate, repeatable output throughout the
sensor's entire operating range with
negligible head loss and no cavitation.
Features & Benefits
•Flow range; 0.3 ft/s to 20 ft/s
•Low cost.
•Low pressure loss.
•Ease of installation and service.
•Excellent resistance to corrosion and wear
•High accuracy and repeatability.
•Compatible with most types of piping materials – PVC, copper, brass, galvanized iron and
steel.
•Wide range of temperature pressure and flow characteristics.
•Low voltage operation.
•Tested to NIST standards (National Institute of Standards and Techonology).
