Limits and commissioning: The SW3L-LS-006 version uses the DW-006 probe (G3/4" / DN20), with a 1–60 L/min range and 390 pulses per litre. The −40°C to +85°C rating applies to the transmitter, not the water: the flow probe requires a temperature below 80°C and protection from freezing. Verify Calculate Flag = 1 with the matching decoder for correct water volume conversion.
