1. Description
The FP-5070 Series Mini Flow Sensors contain a free-running
rotor which is driven by the fluid flow. Within the given
measurement range, the rotational speed of the rotor is
proportional to the fluid flow rate. Permanent magnets built into
the rotor actuate an electronic switch in the top of the sensor
generating a square-wave output signal proportional to flow rate.
Both opaque and transparent fluids can be measured from 0.2 to
20.0 centistokes.
Wetted sensor parts are constructed of PVDF and FPM, making
the sensor suitable for use with most process fluids, including most
acids, bases, light oils, and solvents.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not remove from pressurized lines.
2. Do not exceed maximum temperature/pressure specifications.
3. Pipe fitting must be installed by certified welder only.
4. Do not install/service without following installation instructions (see sensor manual).
5. Wear safety goggles and face shield during installation/service.
6. Do not alter product construction.
7. Failure to follow safety instructions could result in severe personal injury!
Polar organic solvents (e.g., ketones and chlorinated
hydrocarbons) and aromatic hydrocarbons are not
compatible with this sensor.
