Liquid Flow Alarm & Paddle Flow Switch
May the flow be with you...
Platon Trimmable Plastic Paddle Flow Switch:
The V8 paddle flow switch is ideal for protection of unattended equipment from damage or loss of production.
Operation is simple and dependable. In most applications, the switch is normally off while there is sufficient flow of liquid or air. When flow stops, the vane spring moves the vane, actuating a single pole double throw switch rated at 5A 120/250Vac to start
or stop a motor, pump, engine, etc; operate a damper or valve; shut down a burner or actuate an alarm or signal.
The V8 Flow Switch has a leak proof body and vane constructed of tough durable Polyhenylene Sulfide (equivalent to RYTON®) which has excellent chemical resistance. The full size trimmable vane is provided with moulded-in graduations allowing for installation in pipes from 1 inch to 6 inch diameter. The V8 control is UL recognized as an industrial motor controller per UL standard 508, suitable for mounting in a protected environment.

Platon Paddle Flow Switch:
The Model V10 paddle flow is perfect for flow control in smaller pipe sizes at higher system pressures. Unique patented switch adjustment enables quick changes between Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) – just loosen two screws and slide the reed switch to your choice of switch actions. Tighten screws and it’s complete in seconds! Solid metal bodies enable operation at high system pressures of 69 barg for brass units or 138 barg for stainless steel. The vane is specially formed for maximum strength and has a removable laminated trim template showing where to cut for water or air flows in six pipe sizes from 1/2” to 2”. An index arrow on side of the body indicates correct flow direction.
- Low cost
- Leak proof body
- Field selectable switch operation NO/NC
- Field trimmable vane
Applications:
Hydraulic systems, cooling & boiler systems, fire protection systems, food and beverage industry and many more

Platon Liquid Low Flow Alarm:
For liquid low flow or flow failure alarm on cooling systems, water heaters or lubrication systems, the Platon LF flow switch is a rugged sensor with simple electrical reed switch output. Installed in a vertical line with flow upwards, normal flows lift the float in the sensor. A magnet encapsulated in the float then actuates a reed switch, giving contact closure. Should the flow drop to below the preset alarm level, the float falls to the rest position and the contacts open to give an alarm output.
- Low cost flow alarm
- Simple rugged construction
- Brass, BSP connections
- Selectable alarm trip level (factory set)
- No glands or seals
- Stainless steel and other special OEM versions available
Applications:
Water supply systems, heaters & boilers, cooling circuits, radio transmitters, high frequency generators

Platon Adjustable Liquid Flow Switch:
Using a spring loaded variable orifice flow meter technique, the sensor can be installed at any angle and can operate at high pressures and temperatures. The moving element trips an external reed sensor, which itself can be adjusted along a flow scale.
- Compact
- Good repeatability
- Dirt resistant
- High switch capability
- Hermetic separation of mechanical and electrical components
Applications:
Environmental monitoring, agricultural irrigation, water and wastewater, treatment, boiler & cooling systems, HVAC systems
