WFDTN Series

Waterflow Detector

The new WFDTN Series waterflow detectors from System

Sensor consists of a rugged, NEMA 4-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 32°F to 150°F.

Both the WFDTN with incorporated timer and WFDTNRN with

immediate activation fit any tee that has a 1 in. NPT branch,

including: 1in., 1¼in., 1½ in. and 2in. NPT threaded ferrous and

brass tees; 1in., 1¼in., 1½in. and 2in. copper sweat tees; Tyco,

Spears, NIBBCO brand 1 in. CPVC tees. Twelve different clearly

marked plastic paddles are available to fit different installation

configurations.

UL-listed 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 WFDTN 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 waterflow detector easy with high contrast

pad printed markings. The dial offers three tabs to help with turning,

with one larger tab located on the dial position for approximately 60

seconds, a notch is also indicated on the dial to locate approximately

30 seconds making setting the detector in dimmly lit locations easy.

The WFDTN 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.
