WFDEN Series

Waterflow Detector


During our transition to Safe Signal branded devices, please click here to access datasheets and manuals for LPCB and VDS approved products.

WFDEN Series waterflow detectors consist of a rugged, IP56-rated enclosure that is more damage resistant than previous metal designs. The waterflow detector is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, with the widest available temperature range, from 0°C to 68°C (32°F to 55°F).

Models are equipped with tamper-resistant cover screws to prevent unauthorized entry. Inside, two sets of SPDT (Form C) synchronized switches are enclosed in a durable terminal block with new layout designed to make wiring easy with wire ready terminals, COM terminals are on a different elevation, large barrier between switches and easy to read raised textured lettering all make wiring easy. An optional cover tamper switch is available, securely snaps into place, no tools required.

The WFDEN series incorporates a mechanical time delay feature, which minimizes the risk of false alarm due to pressure surges or air trapped in the fire sprinkler system. The larger and easy to turn timer dial makes setting the waterfl ow detector easy with high contrast pad printed markings and three tabs to help with turning.

The WFDEN series is designed for accuracy and repeatability. The detector also offers improved performance during vibration in riser applications where detectors are exposed to a large in rush of water.
