Festo Flow Sensor

The Festo SFAW flow sensor is intended for use in measuring and monitoring the flow, volume and temperature of liquid media. The sensor can be rotated through 360° in the direction of flow so that once it has been installed it can be aligned without the need for tools. It has 2 switching ports that provide a connection to a higher-level system. The outputs of switching can be configured to monitor a threshold value, it can be either PNP or NPN and either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). The flow rate and the accumulated volume are calculated from the flow velocity. A large, illuminated LCD display increases operational safety and makes the currently displayed values easy to read. It requires 0V to 10V voltage supply and the current rating of 100mA.
