WFK3000C is a compact Karman vortex flow sensor and switch for equipment integration that shows the instantaneous flow of pure water and industrial water on a 2-digit LED and gives an analog output and a 1-point transistor output (NPN/PNP selectable). Four flow rate ranges are available: 0.5 to 4.0, 1.5 to 12, 4.0 to 32 and 8.0 to 60 L/min.
