    WATER AND AIR FLOW SWITCHES

    The Satchwell water flow switch is designed to monitor water flow in


    pipe diameters from 1" up to a maximum of 6" and is factory set at a
    minimum value (see table). The switching value can be increased as
    required.
    The water flow switch can be mounted in a short necked welding
    socket or in a tee with a short branch. It is not possible to use a swept
    tee as this will interfere with paddle movement.
    The air flow switch has a paddle that can be trimmed if the air flow is
    above 5m/s.
    Both the water and air flow switches are SPDT types.

    WARNING -
    ISOLATE ALL WIRING BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER AS MAINS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT THE TERMINALS.
    INSTALLATION
    SFW - WATER FLOW SWITCH
    1. Select a point in the pipe that has no elbows, bends or other obstructions that may cause turbulence. The pipe must be straight for at least
    5 pipe diameters up and downstream of the flow switch.
    2. The flow switch should be mounted in a horizontal pipe. Do not mount the flow switch directly under the pipe. If the flow switch is mounted
    in a vertical section of pipe the set value will differ from the settings as the water will have to move the weight of the paddle as well as the
    switch tension.
    3. If the pipe diameter is 1, 2 or 3" then remove any unwanted paddles. If the pipe is 1.25", 1.5", 2.5", 4", 5" or 6" in diameter then use the
    template below to trim the 6 paddle supplied and fit it to the SFW, keep the existing paddles on the SFW as this will help to stiffen the new
    longer paddle.

    4. Fit the flow switch in to the pipe using a short neck welding socket or a tee with a short branch. It is not possible to use a swept tee or a long
    branch tee.
    5. Check that the paddle does not touch the pipe or any other obstruction.
    6. Ensure the flow direction arrow is correct for the water flow.
    7. Flush out the system thoroughly.
    8. Use the minimum quantity of jointing materials.
    9. Remove the cover and wire the switch according to Fig.1. THE EARTH TERMINAL MUST BE CONNECTED.
    10. Do not adjust the set value below the minimum setting as shipped from the factory.
    11. Replace the cover.
    SFA - AIR FLOW SWITCH
    1. Select a point in the duct that has no bends or other obstructions that may cause turbulence. The duct must be straight for at least 5 duct
    diameters up and downstream of the flow switch.
    2. The flow switch should be mounted in a horizontal duct. Do not mount the flow switch directly under the duct. If the flow switch is mounted
    in a vertical section of duct the set value will differ from the settings as the air will have to move the weight of the paddle as well as the switch
    tension.
    3. If the flow rate is to be above 5m/s then the paddle should be trimmed as marked. This will increase the effective switching values by 1.5m/s.
    4. Cut a slot in the duct to accept the paddle. Use the gasket supplied to seal the duct.
    5. Check that the paddle does not touch the duct or any other obstruction.
    6. Ensure the flow direction arrow is correct for the air flow.
    7. Remove the cover and wire the switch according to Fig.1. THE EARTH TERMINAL MUST BE CONNECTED.
    8. Do not adjust the set value below the minimum setting as shipped from the factory.
    9. Replace the cover.

    WARNINGS -
    THESE FLOW SWITCHES ARE MAINS OPERATED DEVICES. LOCAL
    WIRING REGULATIONS AND USUAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST
    BE OBSERVED. NOTE EARTHING REQUIREMENTS.
    ISOLATE ALL WIRING BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER AS MAINS
    VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT THE TERMINALS.
    Cautions
    • Do not apply any voltages until a qualified technician has checked
    the system and the commissioning procedures have been
    completed.
    • If any equipment covers have to be removed during the installation
    of this equipment, ensure that they are refitted after installation to
    comply with UL and CE safety requirements.
    • Do not exceed the maximum ambient temperature.
    • Interference with parts under sealed covers invalidates the
    guarantee.
    • Design and performance of TAC Satchwell equipment is subject to
