Description

This industrial float switch utilizes a hermetically sealed, double-chamber design with a large float casing for optimal buoyancy and smooth, trouble-free operation in various liquids. It functions as a simple, reliable electromechanical switch, activating or deactivating connected equipment like pumps or alarms based on pre-set liquid levels. The switch is engineered for non-flammable liquid applications and can be integrated with isolation units for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Constructed from durable, chemical-resistant plastic, the switch is rated for continuous operation in temperatures from 0°C to 75°C. Its IP68 rating guarantees protection against prolonged immersion, making it suitable for deep wells, tanks, and sump pumps. The device is not explosion-proof but offers a robust solution for general industrial liquid level monitoring and control.

Key Features

  • Hermetically sealed double-chamber construction for absolute watertight integrity.
  • High buoyancy float design ensures consistent switching action regardless of liquid density.
  • Rugged plastic housing provides corrosion resistance in water, oil, and mild chemical environments.
  • Engineered for high-cycle applications with a mechanical life of 500,000 operations.
  • Simple SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switching mechanism for direct pump or valve control.
  • Pre-set switching level with a fixed cable length for consistent activation point.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for industrial and commercial liquid management systems.

Applications

  • Automatic level control for industrial water storage tanks and reservoirs.
  • Sump pump activation and deactivation in basements, pits, and wastewater systems.
  • High/low-level alarm triggering in oil storage tanks and fuel depots.
  • Liquid level management in agricultural irrigation tanks and livestock watering systems.
  • Pump control for dewatering applications in construction sites and marine bilges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum switching current and voltage for this float switch?

This float switch is rated for a maximum of 10 Amps at 250 Volts AC. For higher voltage applications at 380V AC, the maximum current rating is 4 Amps. Always ensure your connected pump or valve load does not exceed these ratings.

Can this switch be used in oil or chemical tanks?

Yes, the plastic housing is resistant to water, sewage, oils, and weak acids and alkalis. It is suitable for use in non-flammable liquids. However, it is not explosion-proof, so for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (e.g., certain fuel vapors), it must be used in conjunction with an appropriate intrinsically safe (Ex) isolator switch unit.

How do I install and set the switching level?

The switching level is pre-set by the fixed cable length and float position. Mount the switch body securely at the top of the tank. Route the 6-meter cable so the float moves freely vertically. The float will rise with the liquid level to activate the switch at a specific height. Ensure the float path is clear of obstructions.

What does the IP68 rating mean for this sensor?

The IP68 rating indicates the switch is dust-tight (6) and protected against continuous immersion in water under specified pressure and time conditions (8). This makes it suitable for permanent submersion in deep wells, tanks, or sumps, providing reliable long-term operation in wet environments.
