Features
* Potentialfree contacts availablewith different electrical
STEM specifications.
* Switches are available in open, closed or changeover
REED SWITCH types.
* Only one moving part that is the float.
* Float switches are available with single or multilevel
switching.
* Sincethe gap between stem and float is large, it is
insensitiveto small floating particles in the liquid.
Special Features
* Contact protection relay
When inductive loadsare switched,it is suggestedto
use R-C Element, Varistor or Diode to limitthe voltage
peakswhen breakingthe circuit. Contact protection
relay is availableon request, which reduces the risk of
highvoltage comingin contact with liquidand metal
tank in caseof short to body.
Operations
. Magnetic float switches are equipped with hermetically Applications
sealed reed switches. The reed switches are actuated by Single and multilevel float switches provide high, low and
the magnetic field of magnet inside the float. The only intermediate point level sensing in all types of storage
moving part of float switch is the float, which will be tanks and reservoirs. They are ideal for automatic pump
reliably floating on the liquid surface. control and alarms.
Horizontal Float Switch
NORMALLY OPEN NORMALLY CLOSED
The Horizontal Roat Switch consists of a fixed
stem to which a cylindrical float is hinged and the
Float moves up & down along the liquid level. A
permanent magnet housed in the Roat actuates
and deactuates a Hermetically sealed Reed Switch
located in the stem as the liquid level rises and
falls. The Horizontal Roat Switch can be used
either to close on rising liquidlevel or to close on
falling liquid level depending on the mounting The switch is mounted such that the The switch is mounted such that the
