Installs in Minutes No moving parts
Mount the DFS 5.1 ultrasonic sensor on the outside of metal or plastic pipes. The sensor continuously injects high frequency sound through the pipe wall and into the moving fluid where acoustic pulses are reflected back to the sensor from particles or bubbles in the fluid.

Ideal for “difficult” liquids. No contact, No maintenance
Flow rates of most liquids can be accurately controlled including acids, caustics, lubrication fluids, chemicals, abrasives, waste water and sludge. There are no moving parts and no sensor maintenance is required.

Easy Calibration
The compact, water tight electronics enclosure includes adjustable controls with separate ON and OFF relay set-points and time delay. A LED bar-graph for flow rate and set points plus relay status are included.

Installation can be made while the flow system is in full operation. No contact is made with the moving fluid and no holes are drilled in the pipe. There is no fouling or scale build-up on the sensor.

Non-Contacting Flow Control

Pump protection … High or Low flow control

Overfill alarm … Bargraph flow rate indication

No pipe cutting, No pressure drop, No sensor fouling, No maintenance!
It takes just a few minutes to install and calibrate a DFS 5.1 Flow Switch. The DFS 5.1 controls flow of most liquids in closed pipes. The ultrasonic sensor mounts on the outside of any pipe from 1/2″ to 180″ (12.5 mm to 4.5 m) I.D.

Easy to Calibrate
The DFS 5.1 control relay can be set to turn ON and OFF at any flow rate between 0.25 and 10 ft/sec (0.075 to 3 m/sec). Insert two links for separate ON/OFF set points or just one link for a Hi or Lo flow alarm. Set relay actuation time delay from 0 to 80 seconds.

Ideal for Pump Protection
Avoid expensive pump repairs and downtime. The DFS 5.1 strap-on Sensor can be installed in minutes without shutting down flow or cutting pipe. Use the adjustable relay time delay to eliminate relay “chatter” and reduce pump wear.

Reliable and Repeatable
Repeatability is ±0.1% of full scale (0.1 ft/sec or 0.003 m/sec). There are no moving parts and no maintenance is required. The clamp-on ultrasonic sensor cannot be damaged or fouled by contact with the liquid it measures. Sealed in a stainless steel housing, the DFS 5.1 sensor withstands moisture or accidental submersion in water up to 10 psi (69 Kpa).

Self-tunes to Extended Sensor Cable
Up to 500 ft (150 m) extra sensor coaxial cable can be added. Extended cable and junction box can be ordered from Greyline. The cable can be cut or extended as required during installation. The flow switch automatically tunes to the cable length. No circuit adjustment or calibration is required.

Designed for “difficult” liquids
The DFS 5.1 Doppler Flow Switch is recommended for flow control of liquids containing gas bubbles or solids: chemicals, slurries, sewage, sludge, viscous liquids, wastewater, caustics and abrasives. The ultrasonic sensor injects high frequency sound through the pipe wall into the flowing liquid. Acoustic pulses are continuously reflected back to the sensor and the DFS 5.1 measures a frequency shift to calculate flow velocity.

Easy to Install
The DFS 5.1 flow sensor installs without cutting the pipe. It takes just a few minutes to mount on the outside of any pipe. The switch/electronics enclosure can be mounted 20 ft (6 m) away from the sensor (optional up to 500 ft / 152 m) to simplify wiring to pumps, alarms, valves or other equipment.

Switch adjustments and electrical connections are fast and easy. The DFS 5.1 relay time delay is adjustable from 0 to 80 seconds to prevent nuisance alarms and relay “chatter” in turbulent flow. Includes switch selectable “normal” and “failsafe” operating modes.

Choose the DFS 5.1 Flow Switch for:

• No contact with the measured liquid
• No obstruction to flow – No pressure drop
• Sensor mounts easily on the outside of the pipe
• Can be installed while pipe line is in use
• Insensitive to pressure, specific gravity and conductivity
• Does not require pipe metering sections
• Does not require consideration of material compatibility with the liquid
