  Liquid Flow Sensors - Rotor Flow Paddle Wheel - MI-3170-RFI
 
 
Microcomm's Flow Rate Monitoring Sensors Series MI-3170-RFI are RotorFlow in its most basic form — a bright orange rotor turning with fluid flow. Simple, direct and reliable. Flow rate is estimated, or simply confirmed, by viewing the speed of the turning rotor. Either port may be used for incoming flow, and bayonet mounting lens is easily removed for quick cleanout. RFI Type RotorFlow sensors are easy to see, easy to install and easy to afford.
 
Features:
  • Bright Visual Flow Confirmation
  • Flow Ranges from 0.1 GPM to 60.0 GPM
  • Removable Lens for Quick Cleanout
  • Available in Brass, Stainless Steel or High Performance Plastic Housings

  Liquid Flow Sensors -Rotor Flow Paddle Wheel-MI-3170-RFS
 
 
Microcomm's Flow Set Point Switches Series MI-3170-RFS are RotorFlow ® Switches build an extra level of reliability and protection into your equipment. By principle of operation, the rotor cannot be deceived into indicating a positive flow situation when no flow actually exists. Once set to a desired actuation point, RotorFlow will switch to a “no-flow” condition should the rotor stop for any reason.

 
Features:
  • Combines visual confirmation of flow with dynamic, electronic switch operation
  • Easy, adjustable switch point calibration: a local LED signals when set point is reached

  Liquid Flow Sensors - Turbo Flow - MI-3170-FT110
 
 
Microcomm's Flow Set Point Switches Series MI-3170-FT110 Gems hall effect turbine flow rate sensor is ideal for OEM applications involving low flow liquid monitoring. The low cost coupled with 1/2% repeatability makes it an ideal candidate for replacing dispensing timer systems. Unlike existing timing systems, turbine technology is not infl uenced by changes in system pressure caused by agingfilters. The sensor’s standard power and output specifi cations make it easy to retrofit to existing controllers.
 
Features:
  • Low Cost Plus High Accuracy ±3% of Reading
  • Measures Low Liquid Flow Rates of 0.5 to 30 L/Min (.1 to 8 GPM)
  • Lightweight Plastic Design Enables Mounting in any Position
