The FSW800 Series air-flow monitor
provides a simple but reliable
alternative to indicate positive or
negative air flow of fans. When
properly installed and connected
in series with an optical (i.e. LED)
or audible signaling device, a bidirectional switch will activate an
electrical contact if the air flow of
the fan falls below 8.2 ft/s, thus either
turning the signaling device on or off.
