Q&A

Q: What is the Taco IFS01SR-1 Flow Switch?
A: The Taco IFS01SR-1 is a 1" NPT stainless steel flow switch with rigid paddles and a NEMA 1 enclosure. It is designed to detect flow conditions in pipes and activate or deactivate equipment based on the presence or absence of flow.

Q: How does the IFS01SR-1 operate?
A: The flow switch detects the flow of liquid through a pipe. When the flow reaches or falls below a preset level, the switch either activates or deactivates connected equipment.

Q: What applications is the IFS01SR-1 suitable for?
A: It is ideal for heating systems, domestic water boosters, process work, water systems, chillers, and low mass boilers.

Q: How is the IFS01SR-1 installed?
A: The switch is installed on a 1" NPT pipe section where flow monitoring is needed. Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance.

Q: Is the IFS01SR-1 compatible with all fluids?
A: The flow switch is compatible with water and any nonhazardous fluid that does not damage brass, stainless steel, or EPDM materials.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect Regularly: Periodically check for leaks, signs of wear, or any mechanical damage, especially around the flow switch and the rigid paddles.

• Clean the Switch: Keep the flow switch and surrounding area clean and free from debris, as this can affect the switch's ability to operate correctly.

• Monitor Flow Activation: Ensure the switch activates and deactivates properly based on the water flow. Test it periodically by adjusting the flow rate.

• Check Electrical Connections: Inspect wiring and terminals for any corrosion, wear, or loose connections to avoid electrical failure.

• Calibrate the Switch: If necessary, recalibrate the flow switch to match the specific flow range and pressure requirements of your system.

• Verify Pressure and Temperature: Ensure the system operates within the pressure and temperature limits of the flow switch (250 PSI, 250°F).

• Replace Worn Parts: If any component of the flow switch shows signs of wear, replace it promptly to avoid malfunction.
