Model AAFS Adjustable Air Flow Switch
Specications - Installation and Operating Instructions
Bulletin AQ-AAFS
The Model AAFS Adjustable Air Flow Switch is capable of detecting a wide range of
air velocities with minimal user calibration. The adjustable screw changes the set point
at which the SPDT snap switch engages. Quality features include a stainless steel
vane, galvanized steel base, and ABS enclosure. The unit is eld adjustable from 200
to 1800 FPM (1 to 9.2 m/s).
INSTALLATION
1. Select a location in a horizontal duct at least 10 duct diameters from fans and 7
diameters from elbows, size changes, etc. which can cause turbulence. Also, avoid
areas with excess vibration or where the temperature limits might be exceeded.
Switch can be mounted in any horizontal duct.
2. Use vane as received for 8˝ (203 mm) or larger ducts. Trim for smaller ducts.
3. Cut a mounting hole and slot for the vane and drill four 3/32˝ (2.38 mm) screw
holes. Insert switch through slot and rotate so arrow on switch enclosure points in
direction of air ow. Attach switch to duct with sheet metal screws.
4. To make electrical connections, loosen the retaining screws and remove the
conduit enclosure cover. See Figure 2. The SPDT snap switch has screw terminals
marked common, normally open and normally closed. A ground screw is also
provided. On decreasing ow, the normally open contacts will close and the
normally closed contacts will open as the set point is passed. See Figure 1.
5. To adjust set point, turn the at-head screw located under the enclosure cover.
Rotate clockwise to increase setting or counter-clockwise to decrease. See Figure
2.
6. After all electrical connections and adjustments are complete, replace conduit
enclosure cover.
MAINTENANCE/REPAIR
The only adjustment is that of the set point. Care should be taken to keep switch dry
and free of dust, dirt and oil. No lubrication or routine maintenance is necessary in
normal service.
