How to Test a Flow Switch A flow switch is used to monitor the flow of different types of substances---usually air or water. It senses different pressure generated from different flows. The flow switch is hooked through a venture to an electronic circuit at a flow level previously determined. In this way, the flow switch acts as a protector to the equipment or appliance. A flow switch is used in damper regulators, water pumps and air conditioning systems. In general, a flow switch is tested annually. Instructions The Right Flow at the Right Time 1 Put cover on the flow switch and turn power on. 2 Start flow through the designated system. 3 Observe flow in operation to determine if flow switch is working properly. 4 Repeat this process many times to ensure flow switch and designated system is in fact working accurately. |
