MKCM type AIR SIGNAL

Flow switch included
It detects the fluid flow and switches the device ON or OFF at the specified flow rate.
*The switch is fixed (the setting cannot be changed later).
The flow is visible at a glance.
This is a current galvanometer that checks the fluid flow by observing the movement of a float inside a transparent tube.
With protective cover
The metal protective cover reduces the possibility of damage from external impacts.
The mounting direction does not matter.
Because it uses a spring inside, you can freely adjust the mounting position to upward, downward, or sideways.

MKCM□□-TA-OFF(ON)
Switch operating flow rate
L / min
Example: MKCM20-2TA-OFF switch operating flow rate 30 L/min
*Please specify whether you want the 'OFF' or 'ON' contact method.
   'OFF type'... The contact turns OFF when the flow rate decreases (normally open/A contact).
   'ON type'... The contact turns ON when the flow rate decreases (normally closed/B contact).

Precautions for using the flow switch

1. Precautions regarding the effects of magnetism

  • Since reed switches operate using magnetism, please use them in a location where they are not affected by magnetic fields.
  • The presence of magnetic materials such as iron near the reed switch can cause malfunctions. 

2. Precautions regarding electrical wiring

  • When using a flow switch, be careful with the wiring to prevent overcurrent from flowing to the reed switch due to faulty grounding or other reasons.
  • Flow switches should be used as alarm detectors whenever possible.
    When using this device in conjunction with other electrical equipment, please handle it with due consideration to the potential impact of any malfunctions.
  • Keeping the operating voltage and current as low as possible will extend the lifespan of the reed switch.
    (Under normal conditions of 100V 0.5A, it can be used for approximately 1,000,000 switch operations)
