The HYDAC flow switches of the HFS 2000 series are based on a variable area float principle. The measuring medium deflects a springloaded float in the direction of flow, depending on the flow rate. A reed contact is fitted outside of the device, therefore separated from the fluid circuit. When the magnet inside the float reaches the pre-set position, the reed contact will switch.
