PF3W7-L, Digital Water Flow Sensor, IO-Link, 2-Screen 3-Color Display, IP65, 0.5-250 Lpm
Series PF3W7-L digital flow sensor constantly monitors water or coolant flow. “L” models are IO-Link compatible. These sensors also have the “Z” designation for redesigned piping adapters, imparting a 13-53% weight reduction depending on flow range. PF3W7-L features an integrated 3-color, 2-screen display. Options include a manual flow adjustment valve and temperature sensor. The main screen displays instantaneous flow value in red or green, while the white subscreen can show temperature, the switch set point, accumulated or peak/bottom value, or a line name. The display rotates in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, offering improved readability during operation. When paired with an IO-Link master, values and settings can be accessed from the HMI screen. PF3W7-L incorporates IO-Link version 1.1 and COM2 speed. 48 bits of process data include flow and temperature values, switch outputs, and diagnostics. Both IO-Link data and switch outputs can be read over the M8 or M8-to-M12 cable. PF3W7-L is IP65 rated, and is both RoHS and CE compliant.
