Product Description:
A small mechanical switch (aka. reed switch) sealed in the stationary part of the sensor is activated by a small magnet in the moving part (the float). This sensor works with any voltage/current (AC or DC) within the maximum limits as specified below. All voltage/current/power ratings are for resistive loads. However, one should always try to reduce the voltage and current applied on the sensor to a level as low as possible in order to extend the life of the sensor. (For example, the Electrical Life is 5,000,000 cycles when the load is 5V, 10mA; 100,000 cycles when the load is 24V, 250mA)
Specifications:
- Plastic (Polypropylene) Construction
- 240V/0.5A/10Watts Maximum Capacity. (A relay is needed to control a heavier load, such as a motor.)
- Vertical Mount
- Longer sensor body sticks deeper into the tank
- NO (Normally Open) or NC(Normally Closed). Convertible by Simply Inverting the Float. Combination (see illustrations below):
- Top mount, switch open when tank is full
- Top mount, switch closed when tank is full
- Bottom mount, switch open when tank is empty
- Bottom mount, switch closed when tank is empty
