SKU: N/A

Features

Space-saving amplifier built-in type

EX-F1 amplifier built-in sensor saves space as there is no need to install a separate amplifier.

Easily mountable and adjustable

Just attach it on a pipe with the tying bands. The position can be easily changed with the release lever even after mounting, so that there is no need to cut the tying bands.

Easily mountable and adjustable

Low price

EX-F1 is very cost-effective.

Easy to check operation Indicator

The operation can be checked at a glance from different directions.

Easy to check operation Indicator

Operation mode switch

Either Light-ON or Dark-ON can be selected by a switch. This is useful to check the operation during installation because it forces the output to be turned ON or OFF even without the liquid being inside the pipe.
