Description

This float level control switch operates on a simple mechanical principle: as the liquid level rises or falls, the buoyant plastic float moves a magnet, which actuates an internal reed switch. This action opens or closes an electrical circuit, providing a direct, non-amplified signal for level monitoring or pump control.

Constructed with a rhodium-contact reed switch, the device offers enhanced durability and resistance to contact oxidation, ensuring stable performance even in humid or chemically aggressive atmospheres. Its extended operating temperature range and robust plastic housing make it suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial liquid handling applications where a basic, reliable on/off signal is required.

Key Features

  • High-reliability rhodium-contact reed switch for stable, low-resistance switching.
  • Wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +140°C for harsh environments.
  • Durable plastic float and housing resistant to many common liquids and chemicals.
  • Side-mounting configuration with integrated 300mm lead wires for easy installation.
  • Long mechanical life rated for up to 100 million actuation cycles.
  • Compact form factor (55mm length, 24mm diameter) for space-constrained tanks.
  • Simple SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) dry contact output for universal compatibility.

Applications

  • High/low level alarm or pump control in industrial water storage tanks and reservoirs.
  • Liquid level monitoring in chemical processing or dyeing equipment.
  • Overflow protection and sump pump control in HVAC systems and basements.
  • Level indication in hydraulic machinery and power generation equipment lubrication systems.
  • Simple level control in food & beverage processing or water treatment equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum electrical rating for this float switch?

The internal rhodium reed switch is rated for a maximum of 100 Volts DC and a switching current of 0.5 Amps. It is designed for low-power signal circuits or to directly drive small relays or PLC digital inputs.

Can this switch be used with hot liquids or in high-temperature environments?

Yes. The switch is specified for an operating temperature range of -30°C to +140°C, making it suitable for hot water tanks, industrial process vessels, or other high-temperature applications. The reed switch is specially handled for stability at these elevated temperatures.

How do I install and wire this side-mounted float switch?

Install the switch through a side port on your tank using an appropriate threaded fitting. The two wires from the 300mm cable are the switch leads; they act as a simple open/close contact. Wire them in series with your power source and load (e.g., pump, alarm, PLC input) to complete the control circuit.

What is the expected lifespan of this float switch?

The mechanical assembly and rhodium reed contact are rated for up to 100 million actuation cycles under normal electrical loads. This provides a long service life for frequent level cycling applications in industrial or commercial settings.
