3.2 Device description
SW-08 flow monitors work according to
the functional principle of the variable
area flow meter. The flow monitor is
installed into a pipe system and meas-
ures the flow rate of the medium
flowing through the pipe system.

A float inside the flow monitor is moved
by the flowing medium. A magnetic
field is generated by the magnets
inside the float. The position of the float
is detected by a switch contact. The
desired switch point can be set on the
switch point adjustment scale by
moving the switch contact.
Applications for SW-08 flow monitors
are for example, lubricating circuits.
The volumetric flow of the lubricating
medium is monitored by the flow mon-
itor to ensure it is high enough for
proper lubrication. If the flow through
the flow monitor drops below the
threshold preset by the operator, the
switch contact switches (Change-over
Contact) or opens the contact (Nor-
mally Open Contact).
