Decisions, and Actions
In the following application, a temperature switch controls a heating contactor and a flow switch is used to
ensure there is enough air flow. If there is not enough air flow, an alarm is sounded. Complete the required
information.
1. List all the signal devices in the circuit.
2. List all the action devices in the circuit.
3. List the decision part of the circuit that automatically sounds the alarm if there is a problem.
4. When the heating element is on during normal operation, is the flow switch open or closed?
