Series V7 Flotect® Vane Operated Flow Switch
Magnetic Linkage, UL Approved
The Series V7 Flotect® Flow Switch is an inexpensive range switch for use with compatible liquids to start or stop electronic operated equipment when flow or no-flow conditions occur. Design is standard weatherproof, meeting NEMA 4X.
Product Applications
- Proof of boiler flow
- Shuts down burner when air flow through heating coil fails
- Protects pumps, motors and other equipment against low or no flow
- Stops liquid cooled engines, machines and processing when coolant flow is interrupted
Starting at $128.95

Features
- Superior performance with magnetically-actuated switching design
- Increased product life due to free-swinging vane, which attracts a magnet within the solid metal switch body to actuate a snap switch by means of a simple lever arm with no bellows, springs, or seals to fail
- Meets application requirements with durable leak proof body machined from bar stock
- Long operating life with robust vane design which is rigid and field trimmable for set point adjustment

Questions
- Question
- What does actuation and de-actuation mean?
- Answer
- Actuation means that the flow rate has reached a point where the microswitch trips or the contacts of the microswitch change state. De-actuation means that the flow rate has decreased to a point where the microswitch returns to its normal state.
- Question
- What material is used as a seal between the process fluid and the electrical portion of the switch?
- Answer
- The body material; as there is no separate "seal" since the body is machined from solid stock and the switch is magnetically actuated.
- Question
- On your Flow Switches, which model has a Form C type contact
- Answer
- Form C contact is a SPDT snap switch. Many of Dwyer’s flow switches have SPDT snap switches. The V4, V6, V7, FS-2, and V8 are some of them.
