FS-3 Series – Compact, Low Flow Units
for Clean Potable Water Applications
Flow Rate Settings:
Port Size: 1/4˝ Male NPT
Primary Construction Material: Noryl
Setting Type: Fixed
These ultra compact switches have been specifi cally designed for reliable operation
in clean post-fi ltered water. They are made primarily of Noryl
materials also FDA or NSF compliant. FS-3 switches are instrument-quality, yet
affordably priced for pure water equipment...from U.V. Lamp switching to Filter Life
Monitoring.

How To Order
Specify the FS-3 Flow Switch using part numbers tabulated below. Set points other
than those listed are available as special order; contact GEMS with your requirements.
Notes:
1. This device is designed to provide Flow/No Flow sensing. Tabulated set points specify maximum contact
2. Flow settings are based on a vertical position (inlet port down), using water (for liquids) or air (for gases) at
3. Use of 50 micron, or better, fi ltration is required.
Switch Actuation
** See “Electrical Data” on Page X-5 for more information.
Liquids (GPM)
closure thresholds on increasing fl uid fl ow. Re-establishment of a Normally Open contact occurs on
decreasing fl uid fl ow by 0 GPM.
+70°F on increasing fl ow. Some variation in set point actuation will occur with other gases or liquids, and
in other mounting orientations.
* Materials of construction are either FDA or NSF compliant.
† N.O. switches in No Flow condition are standard.
