SS2-3 FLOAT SWITCH

Industrial water tank water level control float switch

The Liquid Level Float Switch is a reliable and versatile device designed to monitor and control the level of liquid in various tanks, reservoirs, and containers. It employs a simple yet effective mechanism that involves a buoyant float attached to a magnetic arm. As the liquid level rises or falls, the float moves vertically along a fixed guide rod, actuating a magnetic switch housed externally.

3/4 SS2-3 Transparent heating and cooling air conditioner float switch

Here’s a brief description of the usage requirements and precautions for float switches in English:

Usage Requirements:

Appropriate Fluid Compatibility: Ensure that the float switch is compatible with the fluid it will be immersed in. Consider factors like fluid temperature, corrosiveness, and viscosity.
Proper Installation: The float switch should be installed in a stable and upright position to ensure accurate level sensing. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for mounting and ensure it is securely fastened to prevent movement or displacement.
Adequate Clearance: Provide sufficient clearance around the float switch to allow for the free movement of the float without obstruction. This ensures reliable and accurate level detection.
Electrical Connection: Ensure all electrical connections are made correctly and securely, following the wiring diagram provided. Use the correct gauge and type of wire for the application.
Suitable Power Supply: Connect the float switch to a power supply that matches its specifications. Incorrect voltage or current can damage the switch.

Precautions:

Avoid Overload: Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the float switch. Overloading can lead to premature failure or malfunction.
Environmental Conditions: Consider the environmental conditions where the float switch will be installed, such as temperature extremes, humidity, and vibration. Select a model that can withstand these conditions or provide necessary protection.
Maintenance and Inspection: Regularly inspect the float switch for signs of wear, damage, or contamination. Clean the float and housing as necessary to maintain proper operation.
Disconnection Before Maintenance: Always disconnect power to the float switch before performing any maintenance or repairs. This prevents the risk of electrical shock or accidental activation.
Emergency Shutdown: In case of a malfunction or emergency, have a clear procedure in place for shutting down the system safely and isolating the float switch.
Compliance with Regulations: Ensure that the float switch meets all relevant safety and regulatory requirements for your application, including any necessary certifications or approvals.

By adhering to these usage requirements and precautions, you can help ensure the reliable and safe operation of your float switch.

Capacitive Technology

This magnetic interaction triggers electrical signals or contacts, allowing for precise level detection and automation of control processes. The switch can be configured to activate on either a rising or falling liquid level, making it suitable for both high-level alarms and low-level cut-offs.

The float itself is typically constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel or plastic, ensuring resistance to corrosion and suitable for a wide range of liquid types, including water, chemicals, and fuels. The magnetic system ensures that the switch is fully sealed and isolated from the liquid, maintaining electrical safety and preventing short circuits.
