HONSBERG

Honsberg - FF Series Flow Switch

Piston

The Honsberg FF series flow switch is a simple unit which indicates when a specific flow rate has been acheieved. The basic operation of the switch is when the volume flow raises a piston (fitted with a magnet) out from a valve seat which is against a spring force and when the specificed flow rate is achieved the piston actuates an hermetically separated reed switch. The FF is designed for horizontal inwards flow; switching head not recommended underneath; other installation positions are possible; the installation position affects the switching point and range.

Ordering information

*The switch point must always be specified/factory-set item

Specify direction of flow, medium, and switching point.
For oils, state viscosity, temperature and designation (e.g. ISO VG 68) (enquire about range).
For gases, state pressure (relative or absolute), temperature and medium (e.g. air) (enquire about range).

Installation

Include straight calming section of 5 x DN in inlet and outlet.
If the media are dirty, install a filter (use magnetic filter for ferritic components).
It must be ensured that the values given for voltage, current, and power are not exceeded.
When switched on, a load must be connected in series. The electrical details apply to ohmic loads. Capacitive, inductive and lamp loads must be operated using a protective circuit.
Standard: horizontal inwards flow; switching head not recommended underneath; other installation positions are possible; the installation position affects the switching point and range.
