Float switch | SS | SPDT | (V=4 | H=3)
SERIES L4 FLOTECT® FLOAT SWITCH
Magnetically Operated Switch, Leak Proof Body, Explosion-Proof
Rugged and reliable the Series L4 Flotect® Float Switch operates automatically to indicate tank level. Perfect for starting or stopping pumps, opening or closing valves, or actuating level alarm signals. A unique magnetically actuated switching design gives superior performance. There are no bellows, springs, or seals to fail. Instead, the free-swinging float attracts a magnet within the solid metal switch body, actuating a snap switch by means of a simple lever arm. Float arm hinge design limits the arm angle to prevent vertical hang up.
Product Applications
- Direct pump control for maintaining level
- Automatic tank dump operations
- Control levels or provide alarms in sumps, scrubber systems, hydro-pneumatic tanks, low pressure boilers, and various water/wastewater treatment processes
- Level control
- Valve control
- Superior performance due to unique magnetically-actuated switching design
- Long product life with no bellows, springs, or seals to fail
- Avoids clogs using a free-swinging float that attracts a magnet within the solid metal switch body, actuating a snap switch by means of a simple lever arm
- Prevents vertical hang up with float arm hinge design that limits the arm angle
