3.2 Device description
SW-08 flow monitors work on the
principle of the variable 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 the switch contact. The
desired switch point can be set on the
switch point adjustment scale by
moving the switch contact. The pointer
on the indicator scale shows the actual
flow rate.
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 set by the operator, the
switch contact switches (Change-over
Contact) or opens the contact (Nor-
mally Open Contact).
