Switch options
The DW 18 series has a large number of switch and relay options.
The normal state of an SPST switch is either N/C, normally closed, or N/O, normally open. N/C switches are
closed during operation (closed when flow increases). N/O switches are open during operation (closed when
flow decreases).
