PFT-IAN-B111-S
The Series PFT Paddlewheel Flow Sensor is used to monitor liquid ow rates
in pipes from 1-1/2 to 40˝ (40-1016 mm). The unit has one size-adjustable sensor
and is available in brass or 316 stainless steel body. The unit outputs a frequency
proportional pulsed or 4-20 mA output. The pulse models are a square wave output
signal with frequency proportional to the ow velocity and the 4-20 mA models have a
linear output of the velocity with 4 mA equal to 0 ft/s and 20 mA equal to 25 ft/s.
BENEFITS/FEATURES
• Long product life even in applications with particulate due to bearings and shaft that
offer excellent wear protection
• Use in irrigation applications with weatherproof and submersible ratings
• Save time and inventory with one unit that is adjustable over a large pipe size
range
• Application versatility with a variety of wetted material selections
• Reduce need for additional external components with integral 4-20 mA output
• Eliminate concerns regarding magnetic material in ow due to sensor technology,
which uses inductive sensing and no magnets
APPLICATIONS
• Irrigation
• Ground water remediation
• Cooling systems
• Pump protection
• Leak detection
• Filtration systems
