Claim 5:
6. The flow sensor system of claim 2, wherein:
the switch comprises a first transistor coupled with an output of the magnetic sensor, wherein the first transistor is activated to cause the transition to the active state and to cause the transition to the first current flow value within the current loop in response to a change to the first state of the sensor output from the magnetic sensor triggered in response to each detection by the magnetic sensor that the first magnetic element being detected by the magnetic sensor; and
the timeout circuit comprises a second transistor coupled with a gate of the first transistor and configured to override the activation of the first transistor by the magnetic sensor when the sensor output from the magnetic sensor is active at the first state, corresponding to the first magnetic element being within the threshold distance of the magnetic sensor, for more than the threshold period of time.
