Product catalog summary
Introduction
The LG01 Liquid Flow Switch is designed to detect liquid flow in the range of ml/min. It outputs a 5V signal when the flow rate exceeds a specified limit and 0V when below this limit or when air/bubbles are detected. It features excellent chemical resistance and biocompatibility due to its glass capillary flow path.

Sensing Performance
The LG01-2000Axxx models have specific performance metrics for water at 20°C and 1 barabs. The maximum flow rates are 50 ml/min for LG01-2000A090 and 220 ml/min for LG01-2000A005. The flow switch limits are 4.5 ml/min and 0.25 ml/min, respectively. The device is sensitive to mounting orientation and has a fast response time of 50 ms.

Operation with Other Liquids
The flow switch characteristics change with the thermal properties of the liquid. For hydrocarbons, the flow switch limit increases by a factor of 2 for LG01-2000A090 and 5.5 for LG01-2000A005. Maximum flow rates can exceed 250 ml/min with hydrocarbons.

Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
The device outputs 5V for flow above the switch limit and 0V for flow below or when air is detected. It operates on a DC power supply of 5-12V and has a current draw of 6.8 mA at 9V. The mechanical design includes a borosilicate glass capillary and PEEK fittings, with a pressure resistance of 3 bar.

Physical Dimensions and Connectivity
The LG01 includes a connectivity kit for electrical and fluidic connections, featuring barb adapters for different tubing sizes.

Ordering Information
Products can be ordered for OEM applications with specific article numbers for each model and the connectivity kit.

Important Notices
Warnings include not using the product as a safety device and taking ESD precautions. The warranty covers defects for 12 months, with specific conditions for claims.

Compliance
The LG01 complies with RoHS and WEEE directives, ensuring environmentally friendly disposal and restricted use of hazardous substances.

LG01-2000Axxx Liquid Flow Switch and Bubble Detector ■ Dtection of low liquid flow in the ml-Range ■ Totally non invasive ■ Ultra fast response time of 100 ms 1 Introduction LG01 The LG01 Liquid Flow Switch enables detection of flow of liquid in the range of ml/min. The output signal is 5V when the flow rate is higher than the specified Flow Switch Limit and 0V below this limit or when air or bubbles are found inside the sensors flow channel instead of liquid. Excellent chemical resistance and bio-compatibility are ensured: The flow path of the LG01 Liquid Flow Switch is formed by a simple, straight glass capillary. 2 Sensing Performance Table 1: Model specific performance of LG01-2000Axxx (all data for medium H2O, 20°C, 1 barabs unless otherwise noted) Parameter LG01-2000A090 LG01-2000A005 Maximum Flow Rate 50 220 ml/min Flow Switch Limit 4.5 0.25 ml/min Accuracya of Switching Point ±10 ±10 % Switching Hysteresis ±5 ±5 % Mounting Orientation Sensitivityb +2 +14 % Flow Detection Response Time 50 ms Response Time On Power-Up 120 ms Operating Temperature +10...+50 °C Ambient storage temperature -10...+60 °C 2.1 Operation with other Liquids than Water Due to the measurement principle the LG01 flow switch characteristics is changing with the thermal properties of the liquid. For aqueous solutions the data above is a good approximation. For hydrocarbon liquids such as oil, fuel, solvents and so on the Flow Switch Limit is increased by the factors below.
