The FP-5600 and FP8500A Series
low ow sensors are high resolution,
low power devices ideal for
measuring ow in piping systems
with extremely low velocities.
Utilizing insertion paddlewheel
technology, these sensors are
easy to install and maintain.
They incorporate state-of-the-art,
advanced Hall-effect design,
allowing them to operate with a
wide range of voltages and current
supplies. The sensors have a wide
ow range and reverse polarity
protection. The insertion design
easily adapts to a wide range
of applications.
