Connecting

 

flow

 

switches

 

to

 

input

 

terminals:

  

There

 

are

 

two

 

types

 

of

 

flow

 

switch

 

outputs

 

from

 

Flowline

 

that

 

are

 

compatible

 

with

 

the

 

LC80

 

series

 

of

 

controller.

   

The

 

typical/most

 

common

 

flow

 

switches

 

have

 

a

 

relay

 

output

 

(models

wired

 

to

 

the

of

 

the

output.

  

Note:

 

the

will

 

be

 

used

 

only

Note:

  

Always
