Setting of FLU is by means of relative screw; fully tighten the screw to obtain
minimum flow rate setting, fully loosen the screw to have maximum flow rate
setting. The following table gives the values for limiting flow rate settings in m
3
/h
in relation to the pipe diameter. The FLU flow switch is supplied with the setting
screw fully tightened (minimum setting).
For applications in heating systems subject to I.S.P.E.S.L. approval in accordance
with the requirements of Body R, where a safety action is requested (switching off
of the motor-driven pump under an abnormal condition), it is advisable to leave
the setting at minimum, bearing in mind that the device acts on the burner when
the flow rate drops below the value given in the bold-face column.

Part No. Size Protection
FLU is a flow switch which interrupts the electric control
circuit of the burner when there is insufficient water
circulation in the boiler circuit owing to some abnormal
condition (e.g. stopping of the motor -driven pump).
The FLU flow switch is operated thanks to an electrical
blade-type tripping device (stainless steel blade) and can
be installed on pipework from 1" to 8" in size.
APPLICATION AND OPERATION
Mount so that the direction indicated by the arrow
coincides with the flow.
For correct operation it is advisable:
- to mount on the return pipe
- to mount on horizontal pipe (mounting on vertical piping
is possible after appropriate setting)
- to keep a certain distance from sources of turbulence
(elbows, valves, etc.); recommended min. distance is
equal to 5 times the pipe diameter
- to keep a minimum distance of 55 mm between the
pipework and the lower base of the appliance.
INSTALLATION
The 1-2 contact is normally open (closes when the flow
rate setting is reached); contact 1-3 is normally closed
(opens when the flow rate setting is reached). Earth con-
nection is through relative screw located at the bottom on
the microswitch support.
