Introduction The CF22 Flow Switch models are designed to detect the flow of liquids and gases (air) in pipes or ducts. It utilizes Thermal Dispersion flow detection technology, which makes it very efficient for low or high flow detection. The CF22 can also be used for liquid level detection with the sensitivity adjustment of the potentiometer.

CF22 AC / DC Before connecting the flow switch, check the identification label that contains information on supply voltage and contact capacity, etc. Allow only authorized persons to make the proper connections as well as to avoid accidents. A suitable (stabilized) power supply will favor the life of the switch.
Electrical Connections CF22 - G2 and GX Housings Before powering the switch, check the voltage, power supply, contact capacity, etc. Allow only authorized persons to make proper connections as well as to a void a ccidents. A suitable (stabilized) power supply will improve the the lifespan of the switch.

CF520 N1 / G1 Before powering the unit, check the voltage, power supply, contact capacity, etc. Allow only authorized persons to make proper connections as well as to a void a ccidents. A suitable (stabilized) power supply will improve the the lifespan of the switch. We recommend using shielded cables to eliminate interference from other instruments o r machines in the field.

Pre-Installation Checks Fig. 1 1) Its recommended that the flow switch is installed with a distance of ½ a meter of the pipe bent where the flow enters and 5x times the diameter of the pipe where the flow exits, enabling it to have an accurate reading 1/2m 5xØ...
Installation The CF may be installed in a pipe using a “T”connection (see Fig.1) or inserted directly into the pipe (see Fig. 2). The user might need to adapt the installation so that it conforms to the following Fig. 1 recommendations: The CF is not affected by its fixed position so it may be installed at any angle around the pipe.
Do not turn or handle by the housing (Fig. 2). A Use the correct tool during installation (Fig. 3) The CF22 should not be dropped or suffer any impact or fall that could damage the electronics or the thermal tip of the probe (Fig.
