Operation

As flow is established upward through the unit and continues to increase, the pressure differential across the magnetic piston increases until it overcomes the magnetic piston's resistance (mass). This force causes it to progress fully upward to actuate the dry reed switch. This is a snap action and occurs in the decreasing mode as well.
FS SERIES
Actuation Points for increasing flow
Flow Setting Accuracy ± 10% of actuation point
Deactuation (decreasing flow) averages 10% less than actuation (increasing flow)
Repeatability ± 2%
Unit will pass greater flows
