Description

The P45 Float Level Switch utilizes a buoyant float attached to a mechanical micro-switch. As the liquid level rises or falls, the float moves, actuating the internal switch to open or close an electrical circuit. This provides a straightforward digital signal for level monitoring or pump control.

Designed for reliability in non-corrosive liquids, its PP construction offers good chemical resistance. The switch is rated for low-power control applications, making it a cost-effective solution for basic high/low level alarms or automatic filling/draining systems in industrial, commercial, and agricultural settings.

Key Features

  • Simple, reliable mechanical float switch mechanism for direct level sensing.
  • Durable Polypropylene (PP) housing resistant to many common liquids and chemicals.
  • Rated for 220V AC/DC switching voltage with a 0.5A maximum current capacity.
  • Compact form factor (57mm length) for installation in confined tank spaces.
  • Integrated 35mm cable for straightforward two-wire electrical connection.
  • Wide operating temperature range from -10°C to 60°C.
  • High-value build for basic liquid level control applications.

Applications

  • High/Low level alarm triggering in water storage tanks and reservoirs.
  • Automatic pump control for sump pumps, well pumps, and irrigation systems.
  • Liquid level monitoring in non-corrosive chemical tanks and processing vessels.
  • Overflow protection and fill control in industrial water treatment equipment.
  • Basic level indication in aquariums, hydroponic systems, and agricultural tanks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum voltage and current this float switch can handle?

The P45 Float Switch is rated for a maximum switching voltage of 220 Volts AC or DC. The maximum switching current is 0.5 Amps. It is designed for low-power control circuits and should not be used to directly switch high-current loads like large pump motors without an intermediate relay or contactor.

What type of liquids is this plastic float switch suitable for?

The switch housing is made from Polypropylene (PP), which offers good resistance to many water-based solutions, weak acids, alkalis, and oils. It is suitable for use in clean water, mild chemicals, and fuels that do not degrade PP. It is not recommended for strong oxidizing acids, certain solvents, or highly corrosive liquids without verifying chemical compatibility.

How do I wire and install the P45 float switch?

Installation is straightforward. The switch has two wires within its 35mm cable. Connect these wires in series with your control circuit (e.g., a pump relay coil or PLC digital input). Mount the switch vertically in the tank at the desired trigger level, ensuring the float can move freely without obstruction. The switch actuates when the liquid level causes the float to rise or fall, opening or closing the internal contacts.
