Description

The float switch operates on a simple mechanical principle: a buoyant float rises and falls with the liquid level, actuating an internal snap-action switch to open or close an electrical circuit. This provides automatic on/off control for pumps and motors or triggers alarms at predetermined levels.

Constructed with a hermetically sealed, double-chamber plastic housing, the switch is designed for durability in harsh liquid environments. Its large float casing ensures sufficient buoyancy for smooth, reliable operation. The device is rated for use with non-flammable liquids and can be integrated with external isolating switch units for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Key Features

  • Industrial-grade square float design with high buoyancy for reliable level sensing.
  • Hermetically sealed switch mechanism prevents liquid ingress for long-term reliability.
  • Extended 10-meter cable facilitates installation in deep or remote tank applications.
  • Broad chemical compatibility with water, sewage, oils, and mild acids/alkalis.
  • High electrical lifetime rating of 100,000 cycles ensures longevity in frequent switching applications.
  • Rugged plastic housing provides corrosion resistance in demanding industrial environments.
  • Simple two-wire installation for direct integration into pump control or alarm circuits.

Applications

  • Automatic pump control for water storage tanks, wells, and sump pits.
  • High/low level alarm systems in industrial chemical or oil storage tanks.
  • Liquid level management in agricultural irrigation and livestock watering systems.
  • Overflow prevention and dry-run protection for motors and pumps.
  • Level monitoring in sewage treatment plants and wastewater collection basins.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This float switch is rated for 250 Volts AC with a maximum switching current of 10 Amps. It is designed for direct control of pumps, motors, or solenoid valves within these electrical limits. Always ensure your load does not exceed these ratings to prevent switch failure.

What types of liquids can this float switch be used with?

The plastic housing is compatible with non-flammable liquids including water, sewage, oils, and most mild acids and alkalis. It is not designed for highly corrosive or aggressive chemicals that may degrade the plastic material. For use in potentially explosive atmospheres (like fuel tanks), an external intrinsically safe (Ex-i) isolator is required.

How do I install and wire this float switch?

Installation involves mounting the switch at the desired liquid level, typically using the integrated cable for suspension or a bracket. Wiring is straightforward: the two wires from the cable are connected in series with your load (pump, alarm) and power source. The switch acts as a normally open or normally closed contact, changing state as the float rises or falls.

What is the pressure rating and operating temperature range?

The switch is rated for a maximum working pressure of 0.1 Megapascals (MPa) and can operate in ambient and liquid temperatures from 0°C to 75°C. Do not exceed these limits, as high pressure or temperature can damage the sealed housing and internal mechanism.
