Ametek 70-X6 Panalarm Auxiliary Relay Flow Switch

AMETEK Panalarm 70-X6 Auxiliary Relay Flow Switch is a 12 VDC device that functions as a relay output driven by a monitored flow condition within Panalarm alarm and sequencing systems. It draws about 3.5 VA of power and uses an 11‑pin interface common to Panalarm relay/sequence cards, enabling integration with multi-signal panels. The model is listed in distributor catalogs as 70X6-12V and is described as a 12‑VDC, 3.5VA module with a 5 A contact capability on its downstream circuits, suitable for switching alarms or control signals in industrial environments. Several catalogs note that the 70X6 family is discontinued by the manufacturer, meaning current availability comes from secondary markets or surplus channels. Typical applications include process monitoring and safety interlocks where flow status must trigger a relay to actuate alarms, annunciators, or downstream equipment within a Panalarm system. In practice, this compact auxiliary relay flow switch is used to convert a flow signal into a robust relay action, enabling reliable integration into existing Panalarm panel networks without requiring additional power routing beyond the 12 VDC supply.
