Vertical Mount Float Switch for Water Level Sensing

Detail about Side Mounted Float Switch for Water Level Sensing

Descriptions

Ideal for use in water tanks and water recycling facilities. These float switches are easy to mount and require a simply screw or gasket fitting to the tank. The float switches are constucted of long life high quality materials and will provide many years of operation.
The switch is normally open in the vertical or drop position, as shown in the photo. When the water level rises the float moves to the hoziontal/flat position and the switch is then closed. The switch is suitable for AC or DC voltages and can switch loads of up to 1A. The unit is ideal for turning on a valve or pump, once the water level reaches the determined level.A compact vertically mounted float switch which can be mounted at either the top or bottom of a tank (by the supplied 'O' ring and nut) to either rise and fall for actuation (by an internal magnet) of a sealed reed relay.The sensor is supplied pre-wired with flying output leads.Float switch is a device used to sense the level of liquid within a tank, it may actuate a pump, an indicator, an alarm, or other device.

• User Manual:
• Intake System: Install the float switch at suitable place in vertical. When the ball falls, the switch is connect, and when the ball floats, the switch is disconnect.
• Drainage system: Install the float switch at suitable place in vertical. When the ball falls, the switch is disconnect, and when the ball floats, the switch is connect

Note

•  Because the current that the switch can carry is much little(0.5A), you must use a relay or contactor when it is connected by a load.
