Flow monitor FLUOMAC® Automatic-Controller unwired

The Flow monitor automates and controls the switching on of the centrifugal or submersible pump. It monitors the pressure in the pipe system from the pump to the consumer. When water is drawn from the pipe system, the pressure decreases. If the pressure falls below 1.5 bar (adjustable) the flow monitor switches on the connected device (e.g. centrifugal pump). This supplies the consumer with water again. If the consumer is closed, the flow rate is reduced and the pump is switched off.

The special feature of this flow monitor is the Built-in dry-running protection. If there is no water (cistern empty) after switching on the pump, the flow monitor switches the pump on again automatically off (dry-running protection).

A Non-return valve is also integrated in the flow monitor. This prevents the pipe system on the consumer side from running empty.

The maximum operating pressure of this pressure switch is 10 bar. The switch-on pressure is adjustable (1 - 3.5 bar).

Our tips

With the use of any pump switchgear, we strongly recommend in front of the switchgear is always an effective Pump pre-filter/cartridge filter to be used. This significantly reduces problems caused by water contamination. All commercially available professional switching devices have a non-return valve on the inlet side. If a grain of dirt settles between the sealing surfaces, the switchgear will no longer function properly. The flow monitors already contain a non-return valve; no additional non-return valve must be fitted between the pump and the flow monitor as this can lead to faults and even damage to the pump.
