Explosion-Proof;
U.L. and C.S.A. Listed -
Class 1, Groups A*, B, C, D; Class ll, Groups E, F, G. CENELEC:
EExd IIC T6 (T amb = 75°C)
Built to protect against low flow and flow stoppage in pipelines
from 1/2" to 2" diameter.
For pressures to 2000 PSIG (140KG/CM2); to 220°F (105°C) maximum.
(*Group A, stainless steel body only).
Surprisingly
compact, the Flotect® V6 Flow Switch is engineered
specifically to monitor liquid, gas or air flows in pipelines from
l/2" to 2" diameter. With bushings added, it is easily adapted to
1/4" and 3/8" piping. It is solidly built and designed for years
of trouble-free service on critical operations. The brass or stainless
steel bar stock lower body is leak proof, preventing the pipeline
product from entering switch housing above. There is no mechanical
linkage - the flow switch is magnetically actuated and explosion-proof.
The lower body holds the flow vane and one magnet which controls
the switch actuating magnet in separate housing above. Maintenance
is easy. The entire electrical assembly can be removed for inspection
or replacement without shutting down the pipeline. A low flow version
of the V6 is available which provides field adjustment of the actuation
flow point.
Installation is also easy. Simply insert the tee in the pipeline
and complete the electrical and conduit connections. The Flotect
V6 is U.L. and C.S.A. listed for explosion-proof service - Class
I, Groups A+, B, C & D and Class II, Groups E, F and G. The
C.S.A. and CENELEC models must be furnished with an explosion-proof
junction box for wiring connections.
+Group A, stainless steel body only.
*With bushings, adapts to 1/4" and 3/8"
How
Flotect Protects Equipment
Operation is simple and dependable. In most applications, switch
is normally off while flow of liquid, gas or air continues. When
flow slows or stops, vane spring moves vane, actuating switch to
start or stop motor, pump, engine, etc.; operate a damper or valve;
shut down a burner or actuate an alarm or signal. It will control
sequential operations of pumps, and protect unattended equipment
from damage.
