Innova-Switch Single Channel Mass Flow or Point Level Switch

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the InnovaSwitch™ by Sierra Instruments, a state-of-the-art device for detecting mass flow rates and liquid levels in both gaseous and liquid media. It highlights the device's features, specifications, and ordering information.
Features: The InnovaSwitch™ offers mass flow and point level switching capabilities with a wide operating temperature range from -100°F to +850°F (-73.3°C to 454°C). It supports flow rates from 0.01 to 5 fps for liquids and 0.1 to 500 fps for gases, with a fast response time of 0.5 to 10 seconds for flow switches and 0.1 to 1 second for level switches. The device is CE, CENELEC, and CSA approved.
Description: The InnovaSwitch™ uses a high-resolution thermal differential technique with matched Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) to detect flow and level changes. It is constructed from durable 316L stainless steel with no moving parts, ensuring reliable performance and low maintenance.
Performance Specifications: The flow switch is adjustable for flow rates between 0.01 to 5.0 fps for liquids and 0.1 to 500 fps for gases. The level switch activates on a level change of 0.03 inches. The device offers repeatability of +/- 1% for flow and 1/32” (0.8mm) for level, with stability drift of less than 0.5% from the calibrated setpoint over a +/-50°F range.
Operation Specifications: The device operates within a temperature range of -73.3°C to 200°C standard, with options for medium and high temperatures up to 454°C. It supports operating pressures up to 3000 psia (207 bar) and requires input power of 115 VAC, 230 VAC, or 24VDC.
Physical Specifications: The InnovaSwitch™ is available with various wetted materials including 316L SS, Hastelloy, Monel, and Inconel. It features an explosion-proof enclosure and multiple process connection options. The standard insertion length is 2.0 inches, with options for lengths up to 120 inches.
Ordering Information: The document provides detailed instructions for ordering the InnovaSwitch™, including options for approvals, mounting, materials, power input, configuration, and special options. Customers can select from various features to customize the device to their specific needs.
Contact Information: Sierra Instruments provides contact details for their offices in North America, Europe, and Asia, along with an online shop for purchasing the InnovaSwitch™.

Single Channel Mass Flow or Point Level Switch ierra’s InnovaSwitchTM represents the State-ofthe-art in gaseous and liquid flow switching or liquid State-of-the-art in gaseous and liquid flow switching or liquid level control and continues the Sierra tradition of providing the highest quality mass flow meters and controllers in the industry. Flow and level detection is accomplished by using a high-resolution thermal differential technique. The sensor consists of a pair of matched Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD’s). One RTD is selfheated using a constant DC current. The other RTD is unheated and provides an accurate process temperature reference. The thermal differential created between the reference and the heated RTD pair is a function of the density and/or velocity of the media with which the sensor is in contact. The sensor and wetted parts are of durable 316L stainless steel, all welded construction with no moving parts. The switch is easy to install and adjust, giving reliable, low maintenance performance in the most demanding applications. w w w.sier rainst r ument s
