Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and descriptions for the Indumart FPS120 series Paddle-type Flow Switches, designed for ON/OFF control of flow in pipes or open channels. These switches are known for their compact design, easy installation, definite ON/OFF action, corrosion resistance, and long life expectancy.
Specifications:
  • Temperature Limits: Up to 80°C for models FPS120-1 and FPS120-2, and 135°C for FPS120-3.
  • Operating Pressure: 150 psi for FPS120-1 and FPS120-2, and 1000 psi for FPS120-3.
  • Electrical Rating: 5A @ 120/240 VAC for all models.
  • Weight: Approximately 500g for FPS120-1, 1.5kg for FPS120-2, and 2kg for FPS120-3.
  • Construction: FPS120-1 is IP43 rated, FPS120-2 is waterproof, and FPS120-3 is explosion-proof.
Materials:
  • Cover: ABS for FPS120-1, Aluminum casting for FPS120-2 and FPS120-3.
  • Bracket: Zinc plated SS304 for FPS120-1, SS304 for FPS120-2 and FPS120-3.
  • Bellows: Phosphor Bronze for FPS120-1, SS304 for FPS120-2 and FPS120-3.
  • Socket: Brass for FPS120-1, SS304 for FPS120-2 and FPS120-3.
  • Paddle: SS304 for FPS120-1, Phosphor Bronze for FPS120-2 and FPS120-3.
Functionality: The flow switch operates by inducing a reactive force in the paddle proportional to the flow rate, which balances with the control spring until a set flow rate is exceeded. At this point, the micro switch is activated to open or close contacts, ensuring a definite switching action.
Ordering Information: The document provides details on standard, weatherproof, and explosion-proof types, along with options for wetted materials and mounting sizes.
Characteristic Chart: The chart outlines approximate actuation and de-actuation flow rates for water at 15°C, with specific values for different paddle types and pipe diameters.

INDUMART Canada www.indumart.com Paddle Type Flow Switch SERIES: FPS120 & COMPACT EASY INSTALLATION & DEFINITE & ON/OFF ACTION CORROSION RESISTANT CASE & EXTREMELY LONG LIFE EXPECTANCY & DESCRIPTION Indumart FPS120 series of Paddle-type Flow Switches are excellent for ON/OFF control of flow in pipes or open channel applications. The device is installed in the direction of the flow and a reactive force is induced in the paddle in proportion to the rate of flow, which generates a proportional force in the control spring. Thus a variable force balance is maintained between the flow and the control spring until the flow exceeds a set flow rate. When the set flow rate is reached, the reaction plate activates the micro switch to open or close the contacts. Switching action of the FPS120 Series is very definite. The FPS120 Paddle-type Flow Switches will last for long periods of time, since they transmit the paddle movements through a flexible bellow with at least 100,000 times fatigue limit.
