These instructions are applicable only to devices that have one of the two application options for

1.2 Device description
DW 181 - 184 flow switches are mechanical devices that use a hinged, spring-loaded metal disc
to measure the flow rate of homogenous, clean liquids. Adjustable switches in the device
operate an alarm when you have the correct flow rate or velocity.
Several variants (DW181, DW182 etc.) are available for a wide range of pipe diameters. Each
variant has display and application options.
The flow switch is approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres when equipped with the
appropriate options.
