Description

This industrial float switch operates on a simple mechanical buoyancy principle, where the rising or falling liquid level tilts the internal sealed switch chamber to open or close an electrical circuit. The double-chamber, hermetically sealed design ensures reliable operation and prevents fluid ingress, even under the rated 0.1 MPa working pressure.

Constructed from chemical-resistant ABS, the square float is suitable for use in water, sewage, and many non-flammable oils, acids, and alkalis. It provides a direct, electrically isolated switch output for controlling pumps, motors, alarms, or solenoid valves, making it a fundamental component for tank level management and pump automation systems.

Key Features

  • IP68 submersible protection for continuous operation in liquids
  • High-current switching capability (10A @ 250V AC) for direct load control
  • Robust ABS construction resistant to corrosion and many industrial fluids
  • Hermetically sealed switch mechanism ensures long-term reliability
  • Pre-set switching point determined by float orientation and mounting
  • Simple two-wire installation for normally open or closed operation
  • Designed for a mechanical life of 500,000 actuation cycles

Applications

  • Industrial sump pump auto-control and high-level alarm systems
  • Liquid level management in storage tanks for water, oil, or chemicals
  • Automatic pump control in agricultural irrigation and drainage systems
  • Reservoir and well level monitoring for water supply infrastructure
  • Wastewater and sewage lift station pump sequencing

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This float switch is rated for 250 Volts AC at 10 Amps. For 380V AC systems, the current rating is 8 Amps. It is designed for direct switching of pumps, motors, or solenoid valves within these electrical limits.

Can this float switch be used in corrosive liquids like acids?

The ABS plastic housing offers resistance to many mild acids, alkalis, oils, and sewage. However, it is not suitable for highly concentrated or specific corrosive chemicals without prior compatibility verification. It is not explosion-proof.

How do I wire and install this two-wire float switch?

Installation involves mounting the float at the desired level point in the tank. The two wires are connected in series with the power supply and the load (e.g., pump). The switch will be either Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) depending on its orientation (float-up or float-down actuation).

What is the difference between electrical life and mechanical life?

Mechanical life (500,000 cycles) refers to the number of physical actuations the float mechanism can endure. Electrical life (100,000 cycles) is the number of switching operations under full electrical load (10A @ 250V AC) before contact wear may affect performance.
