The Brooks reed switch alarm is a normally open, latching switch used in conjunction
with the GT1000 glass tube flow meter for signaling high and/or low flow or a
deviation from a flow setting.
A magnet embedded and sealed in the float actuates the alarm switch. The reed
switch is mounted adjacent to the flow tube and is easily adjustable over the entire
flow range of the instrument.
The sealed reed switch consists of a biasing magnet and hermetically sealed reed
switch, which is insulated to prevent damage from mild shock and normal pipe
vibration. The contact rating of the switch is very low (0.5A).
An external relay is recommended for secure operation. Plus the external relay can
be configured to operate as a normally open or normally closed state which provides
totally flexibilty of operation.
