FC3W, Flow Controller for Water, Analog I/O, 0.5-16 Lpm

FC3W is a flow controller for water between 0-50°C. A motor driven adjustable flow valve works together with feedback from a Karman vortex flow sensor to establish a flow rate corresponding to an analog input signal. When a single water supply source is divided into multiple lines, the flow rate between lines can be inconsistent. FC3W controllers can adjust flow on each line to a constant rate. Power, control, and error status LEDs confirm operation. The device is also grease free and IP65 rated. Please be aware that FC3W does not include a flow shutoff feature. Pair the controller with a VXZ 2-port solenoid valve to stop flow for any reason. Meets CE, UKCA and RoHS certifications.
