SERIES SFI-800 | W. E. ANDERSON® BY DWYER
FLOW
SIGHT FLOW INDICATORS/TRANSMITTERS
Low Cost, Optional Output for Flow Rate and Totalization
UV Stabilized Polycarbonate Model
SFI-801 SFI-800 SFI with A-711 option
The Series SFI-800 Sight Flow Indicators/Transmitters are low cost, durable rotor
style ow indicators with optional Hall Effect magnetic output packages to combine
visual conrmation of ow with optional remote ow monitoring. There are three output
sensors available, the A-711 offering two pulsed voltage signals proportional to ow
rate, the A-712 which outputs a linear 1-10 VDC signal proportional to ow rate, and
the A-713 which offers two programmable open collector switch outputs.
The Model A-711 is a unique and patent pending sensor that outputs two pulsed
voltage signals with one providing a 5 VDC pulse and the other a pulse of the input
supply voltage used, ranging from 8-18 VDC.
The Model A-712 is a sensor that outputs a linear 1-10 VDC signal proportional to
ow rate.
The Model A-713 is a sensor with two programmable open collector switch outputs
with one output closed above the set point and the other output closed below the set
point ideal for low ow or high ow indication.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
• Constructed of clear plastic enabling 360° viewing of the rotor for easy ow indication
• SFI-800 models are constructed of Polysulfone with excellent chemical compatibility,
high pressure and temperature ratings, and all wetted materials are FDA/NSF
ratable for potable water applications
• SFI-801 models are constructed of UV stabilized Polycarbonate making them ideal
for outdoor applications and easy view bright red impeller
• All three output packages cam be installed or replaced in the eld without any tools
and without removing the body from the process line
• Units are weather-tight for outdoor or wash-down area use
• A-713 features a user-friendly set point button which is set at the desired ow rate
with red LED indication of switch status
APPLICATIONS
• Cooling and lubrication circuits
• HVAC systems
• Aggressive chemical metering
• Batching systems
