3.2 Device description
SW-08 flow monitors work according
to the functional principle of the vari-
able area flow meter. The flow monitor
is installed into a pipe system and
measures 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. The current
flow value is read off by the pointer on
the scale.
Applications for SW-08 flow monitors
are for example, lubricating circuits.
The volume 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 closes the contact (Nor-
mally Open Contact).
