The System Sensor WFD20N is a 2-inch vane-type waterflow detector for wet-pipe sprinkler systems. It fits 2-inch steel pipe, Schedule 7 through 40. When sustained water flow occurs, two synchronized switches signal the fire alarm panel. Therefore, sprinkler activation is reported without extra interface hardware.
Built-In Retard Against False Alarms
Water surges can trip a flow switch falsely. However, the WFD20N uses a sealed mechanical pneumatic retard. The delay is field-adjustable from 0 to 90 seconds and factory preset near 30 seconds. In addition, delays do not accumulate — the timer resets if flow stops.
