The M-201-T Series flow switches are engineered and field tested
for sensing increasing and decreasing flow rates of gases or
liquids. Pressure variation effects are minimal. This series features
such versatility, economy, and accuracy that they can be used in
virtually any application requiring fool-proof inexpensive flow
detection.

Operation
The flow switch is activated by flow forcing a piston kept in
place by a spring to travel past a reed switch. This provides a
positive signal after a certain amount of travel. Set point
adjustment is controlled by adjusting the positioning of the reed
switch.
* Maximum flows through switch are higher.
For higher flow settings, contact factory.

M-201-T Series
Design Considerations/Construction
Adjustable Flow Switches
The M-201-T Series comprises a Body, Piston, and PTFE coated Spring. The M-201-T Series contains two moving parts (i.e. the
piston and spring) and a retaining ring that are in the fluid path. Construction of the piston is important from a design
perspective. A PTFE Encapsulated piston is used in this switch to ensure that all wetted parts are PTFE or PTFE coated.

Factory P reset Information
The M-201-T is an adjustable flow switch. The flow set point can be set at the factory, upon request. Proper
calibration of the set point requires the following information. When purchasing a flow switch that needs to be
factory preset, use the “Set Point Calibration” form on page i-vi or provide this information on the purchase order.
•
Calibration set point,
•
Increasing or decreasing flow,
•
Fluid type (i.e. liquid or gas),
•
Density or specific gravity,
•
Viscosity,
•
System pressure and temperature,
•
Flow direction (i.e. upward or downward), and
•
Mounting orientation (i.e. horizontal or vertical).
