Product description
A float sensor is better suited than a water sensor or detection tape in certain situations:
Detecting non-conductive liquids, such as demineralized water
Alarm notification in drip tray or basin when the liquid passes a certain level
Potential-free switching contact for liquid level for monitoring or control purposes.
Applications
Water, oil, gasoline, diesel
This float sensor is resistant to tap water, rain water, wastewater and various other liquids (Note: for diesel, gasoline or oil, please order the black nylon version). The mounting height determines the switching point of the float. From the underside, a level of at least 8.5 mm is required to engage the switching contact.
Connection to the water detector
The float sensor can be connected to a water detector or level control, in place of a conduction sensor. The 2-wire signal line may be extended up to 50 m.
Float sensor switching function NO-NC
When leakage occurs, the float will float and close the switching contact. You can flip the float body (float) to change the switching function. From NC (normally closed) to NO (normally open), or vice versa. Float position for alarm applications: magnet ring at bottom = NO = contact open in lowest position.
