Kelco Engineering KU Series Level Switch is a compact three-wire switch specifically designed for single point level control in oils. Its ability to withstand oils makes it suitable for level control in diesel fuel tanks and applications involving bulk diesel or oil. The KU series level regulator will provide a stable switching action with a high degree of repeatability.

Operating Principle of Kelco Engineering KU Series Level Switch
The KU Series level regulator houses a heavy ball that is balanced on the actuating arm of a high-precision switch. When a rising liquid level causes the float to lift and tilt the center of gravity of the ball moves away from the actuating axis of the switch and allows it to actuate.
A falling liquid level allows the float to straighten up and the center of gravity of the ball shifts back onto the switch causing it to de-actuate. This simple reliable action only requires the float to tilt by 45 degrees in any direction for the switch to operate.
Constructions
The KU Series heavy-duty level regulator is constructed from Polypropylene and specially manufactured three core oil resistant Polyurethane cable. The float chamber is a double-molded hermetically sealed cell with a double molded barrier of solid polypropylene sealing the cable entry.
The switch housed within the float cell is a precision single pole double throw device rated at 0 to 240V AC at up to 15 Amps resistive load.
