Flow Switch Adjustment
(Gen.2LubricationSystem
only)
The ow switch monitors oil
flow through the lubrication
system. The process fluid
ows through the ow switch
meter at a rate of 1-3.5 GPM.
The ow causes the sensor,
a spring loaded cone/magnet
assembly, to move from a
large precision orifice. As
flow increases, the sensor
magnet moves toward the
pointer magnet and causes
the reed switch to actuate.
The cone-orice combination
results in variable area ow
measurements and an easy-
to-read linear scale. The reed
switch alerts the operator of
problem conditions.
The flow switch can be
adjusted as needed. Use the
following procedure to adjust
the ow switch.
1.
Lockout/tagout all power to
the vertical shaft impactor.
2. Remove the flow switch
assembly from the
lubrication panel by
disconnecting it at the inlet
and outlet ports.
3. Remove all four screws
from the back panel of the
ow switch.
