FS-200 Series – General Purpose,
Straight-Through Flow Path
Flow Rate Settings: Fixed: 0.5 GPM to 100.0 GPM
Adjustable: 1.0 GPM to 15.0 GPM
Port Size: 1˝ NPT to 2˝ NPT
Primary Construction Material: Bronze or Stainless Steel
Setting Type: Fixed or Adjustable
The FS-200 Series offers accurate flow detection, with 1% repeatability, over a broad
range of flow settings and port sizes. Its durable construction delivers long-life
reliability in either water or oil. Generous flow paths keep pressure drop low. These
switches are ideal for detection of improper flow rates in high volume lubrication,
cooling or process systems.
FS-200 Adjustable Series switches offer the same accuracy and are as rugged as those
with fixed settings, but provide one additional feature: external adjustability. With these
versatile switches your choice of flow settings is diverse within a given range. An
ordinary, flat-blade screwdriver is all that’s required for the actuation adjustment.

Notes:
1. Adjustable versions available in 1 inch port sizes only.
2. Standard calibration is in water with units in a horizontal position.
3. Viscosity changes will affect setpoints. Typically, as viscosity
increases setpoints will decrease.
4. Consult Gems for special applications.

Notes:
1. Flow settings for fixed versions are calibrated using water at +70°F on increasing flow, with units in a
horizontal position (lead wires up). Consult factory regarding special flow setting calibration, or liquids other
than water. Temperature changes will slightly affect the flow settings listed. Oil flow settings will vary with
viscosity.
2. Adjustable units that are set to customer specification are subject to GEMS test stand accuracy.
3. Use of 150 micron filtration is recommended.
4. Minimum 5 PSI line pressure required.
