Gentech FCS flow switches are individually set to operate at a flow rate matching the application.

In circulating cooling water systems for machine controls or chilled fluid in beverages it is crucial that warning of "low flow " or "no flow", will safely shut down the system to limit or prevent any damage The Gentech flow switch can protect a pump from "no load" damage, when no liquid is available

Also it will successfully interface within a "burner system" for a central heating boiler, ensuring the ignition circuit will only energise when water is flowing.

Gentech FCS flow switches are individually set to operate at a flow rate matching the application.

Standard flow rates within the FCS series range from 0.6 to 4 litre/min.

At the flow switch point a single pole single throw normally open (normally open when no flow) reed switch contact will operate; alternatively some models can have a single pole double throw switch fitted.

The FCS flow switch series will fit either vertically or horizontally in the pipe work and connected via 0.375in BSP or NPT pipe threads.

It is also suitable for applications in potable water, carbonated drinks and de-ionised water as well as a number of other chemicals, with body materials of Noryl and polyphenylene.

The FCS series compliments a comprehensive flow switch family of products within the Gentech range.

The FS series has parts that are suitable for larger pipe sizes: 0.75in BSP, 15mm and 22mm, and in Noryl, copper and brass body materials.
