This product is suitable for Class I and Class II

applications only, per the requirements of

standard EN60730 and any additional specific

requirements for a particular application or

medium being sensed. Class I compliance of

metal bodied units requires a ground connec-

tion between the metal body and the earthing

system of the installation. Class I compliance of

plastic bodied units in contact with a conductive

medium requires that the medium be effectively

earthed so as to provide an earthed barrier

between the unit and accessible areas. For

Class III compliance, a supply at safety extra-

low voltage (SELV) must be provid-

ed. Please consult the Factory for

compliance information on specific

part numbers.

+VDC Red

Ground Black

Signal Output White

Signal Output: Output signal is an on/off

pulse of the DC voltage supplied to the

unit. It is compatible with all digital logic

families. Input voltage range is 4.5

to 24 VDC. Frequency of the output pulse

is proportional to the flow rate and ranges

from approximately 15 Hz at low flow to

225 Hz at high flow.
