MKAM type water signal

Flow switch
It detects the fluid flow and switches the device ON or OFF at the specified flow rate.
*The switch is fixed (the setting value cannot be changed later). The movement of the float visualizes the flow.
Lightweight aluminum protective cover
The use of a cast aluminum protective cover achieves both durability and lightweight design.
The mounting direction does not matter.
Because it uses a spring inside, you can freely choose the mounting position, such as upward, downward, or sideways.

Switch operating flow rate
L / min
Example: MKAM20-2TW-OFF switch operating flow rate 1L/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 are switches that operate using magnetism, please use them in a location where they will not be affected by magnetic fields.
●The presence of magnetic materials such as iron near the reed switch can cause malfunctions. 

2. Precautions regarding electrical wiring

● The flow switch is designed to prevent overcurrent from flowing to the reed switch due to faulty grounding or other reasons.
Please pay attention to the wiring.
●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)
