SI5100 IFM Electronic Flow Switch

IFM Electronic Flow Switch: Reliably detect the flow of liquids, gases and even some solids with the SI flow sensors. The thermal technology is ideal for flow / no flow applications and for very low flow applications using a low flow block accessory.

Outputs include analog flow representing 0…100% of taught flow rate and switching outputs for flow and temperature.

Features

  • Reliable monitoring of liquids and gases in pipes
  • Variable process connection using adapters
  • Easy setting of the switch points for quick set-up
  • Robust stainless steel housing for use in harsh industrial environments
  • LED bar graph for indication of switch point and flow

Applications

  • High stability grade for continuous across the line X2 applications.
  • See also application note: www.vishay.com/doc?28153
  • For the maximum product dimensions and maximum space requirements for length (lmax.), width (wmax.) and height (hmax.) following tolerances must be taken in account in the envelopment of the components as shown in the drawings below.
