The Source Motorized Flow Control provides economical and simple electric remote control for flows up to 50 GPM. It uses a 12 volt DC motor to open or close a rotary spool valve. The flow rate is changed by providing a 12 volt signal to either increase or decrease valve opening. In its simplest form, the control element is a DPDT three-position momentary-contact toggle or rocker switch, or two DP momentary-contact push buttons.

If a more sophisticated control is desired, the loop can be closed by using a control amplifier and relay circuit in conjunction with feedback from a flow or speed sensor.

MFC Performance - Pressure Drop vs. Flow
The valve requires no power to maintain its flow setting. A 12 volt DC signal is applied only while changing the flow rate and then shut off to hold flow rate at the desired setting. In the event of a power failure or system shut down, the valve will remain at its current flow setting until power is restored and a command signal is once again applied. Valve design allows for manual over-ride in case of electrical failure.

The valve is internally protected and will automatically shut down the internal drive when either the full open or full closed positions are reached.
