(For Additional Information, See Gems' "Level, Flow and Pressure Catalog)
RotorFlow units monitor dynamic fluid flow. The rotor reacts to
turbulence, pulsation, entrained air, and other flow anomalies induced in
the flow stream by other process hardware. For optimum performance,
install RotorFlow units where nominal flow conditions exist, with ports
located at the top. Incoming flow may be placed to either port. A
minimum of 8" of straight pipe on the inlet side is recommended.
Low Flow Applications
A low flow adapter is supplied with all RotorFlow units. It is used to produce accurate response at low flow rates. Press fit the
adapter as shown above, in the port selected for incoming flow. See Flow Range Chart below.

Summary of Contents for Gems RotorFlow RFS-2500 Series

  • Page 1 ® RotorFlow Sensors (For Additional Information, See Gems' "Level, Flow and Pressure Catalog) RotorFlow units monitor dynamic fluid flow. The rotor reacts to turbulence, pulsation, entrained air, and other flow anomalies induced in the flow stream by other process hardware. For optimum performance, install RotorFlow units where nominal flow conditions exist, with ports located at the top.
  • Page 2 Installation: RotorFlow sensors connect to piping via NPT mating threads forms. The following guidelines are provided to assist with installation for a leak-free seal, without damage to the unit: 1) Apply pipe thread sealant to male pipe threads. 2) Thread RotorFlow unit onto male pipe thread until hang-tight . 3) Tighten pipe 1 to 1/2 additional turns. 4) If improper seal results, continue turning pipe into unit in 1/4 turn increments.
  • Page 3: Specifications

    Switch Set Point Calibration with LED Signal With the unit installed in the line and power supplied, complete the following steps to calibrate switch actuation point with proper flow rate. A small flat-blade screwdriver is all that is required. 1. Adjust liquid flow in the line to the rate at which actuation is desired.
