A system sensor water flow switch is a device used primarily in fire sprinkler systems to detect the flow of water in the system. It acts as a sensor to trigger alarms when water flows through the pipe—typically due to the activation of a sprinkler head during a fire.
Key Features:
Monitors water movement in fire sprinkler piping.
Triggers alarm when water starts to flow (indicating possible fire or sprinkler head activation).
Can be used to activate local or remote alarms or send signals to fire alarm control panels.
Usually includes adjustable time delays to prevent false alarms caused by brief or accidental flows.
May have paddle-type sensors inserted into the pipe to detect movement.
