Function

The  Caleffi  Series  626  water  flow  switch  detects  the  presence  
or  absence  of  flow  in  piping  of  heating,  air  conditioning,  cooling  
and  water  treatment  systems  as  well  as  in  pumping  and  process  
systems.  In  heating  systems,  the  flow  switch  is  normally  used  to  
shut  off  the  burner  of  the  boiler  whenever  there  is  no  circulation  
of  the  carrier  fluid  in  the  boiler  circuit.  A  lack  of  circulation  
can  damage  critical  components  and  impair  the  operation  of  
temperature  sensitive  safety  and  protection  devices. 
 This  item  is  designed  for  use  in  closed  hydronic  systems.  Do  not  
use  in  plumbing  applications.  This  item  does  not  meet  the  low-lead  
plumbing  standards of U.S. and Canada. 

General Characteristics 

A  stainless  steel  bellows  separates  the  electrical  and  hydronic  sections,  preventing  the  possibility  
of  contact  of  the  fluid  with  the  electrical  components.  Stainless  steel  is  used  in  the  construction  
of  many  key  parts, including the bellows, which protects the switch from corrosion. With  a  protection  
classification of NEMA type 3 (IP54), the  switch  can  be  used  in particularly  humid  and  dusty  
environments.  The  cover  is  made  of  a  special  non-combustible  plastic  material.  The  normally  open  
and  normally  closed  contacts  on  the  switch  enable  any  electrical  device  to  be  switched  on  or  off  
as  required at the operating flow rate. The operating point can be easily adjusted with the calibration screw.
