  • Page 2: Introduction

    1. Introduction 1.1. Safety Instructions General Statements The sensor F3.20.X.XX has only been designed to measure the flow of liquids.  Do not install and service the sensor without following the Instruction Manual.  This sensor is designed to be connected to other instruments which can be ...
  • Page 3: Operating Principle

    2.2. Operating Principle The flow sensor consists of a transducer and a five-blade open cell paddlewheel using insertion technology. The paddlewheel is equipped with a permanent magnet integrated into each blade. As the magnet passes close to the transducer a pulse is generated.
