Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The LG01 Liquid Flow Switch is designed to detect low liquid flow in the ml/min range with a non-invasive and ultra-fast response time of 100 ms. It outputs a 5V signal when the flow rate exceeds the specified switch point and 0V when below or when air/bubbles are detected.

Sensing Performance
The LG01 is available in two models, LG01-2000A090 and LG01-2000A005, with flow switching points of 4.5 ml/min and 0.25 ml/min respectively. It features excellent chemical resistance and bio-compatibility due to its glass capillary flow path. The sensor's performance varies with different liquids, with specific data provided for isopropyl alcohol.

Communication and Electrical Specifications
The sensor provides a voltage output to indicate flow status and is calibrated for water, with options for other media. It operates on a DC power supply ranging from 5V to 12V, with a typical operating current of 6.8 mA.

Fluidic Connection
The sensor uses borosilicate glass for the internal tube and PEEK for fittings, with a pressure drop of 1 mbar at maximum flow rate. It connects via ¼-28 flat-bottom fittings suitable for specific tubing sizes.

Mechanical Specifications
The sensor measures 53 x 22 x 9 mm and weighs 6 g, with an inner diameter of 1.8 mm.

Ordering Information
The sensor is available for OEM applications, with specific article numbers for different models and a connectivity kit.

Important Notices
The product is not intended for safety-critical applications. It is sensitive to ESD and comes with a 12-month warranty, subject to specific conditions. The product complies with REACH, RoHS, and WEEE directives.

Liquid Flow Meter LG01-1

LG01-2000Axxx Liquid Flow Switch and Bubble Detector ■ Detection of low liquid flow in the ml/min Range ■ Totally non-invasive ■ Ultra-fast response time of 100 ms Product Summary 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 point and 0V below this limit or when air or bubbles are found inside the sensor's 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. For more information on communication, please refer to section 2 of this document. 1 Sensing Performance Table 1: Model specific performance of LG01 (all data for medium . H2O, 23°C)
