TC Fluid Magnetic Float Level Switch (Vertical)

The switch functions always refer to a rising liquid level: normally open, normally closed, or change-over contact. Through the use of a float for a max. of 2 switch points a bistable switch operation can be achieved, meaning that the switching status also remains available, when the filling level continues to rise above or drop below the switch point.

The float switch is simple to mount and maintenance-free, so the costs of mounting, commissioning, and operation are low.

TC Fluid Magnetic Float Switch Applications

• Level measurement for almost all liquid media
• Pump and level control and monitoring for distinct filling levels
• Chemical, petrochemical, natural gas, offshore, shipbuilding, machine building, power generating equipment, power plants
• Process water and drinking water treatment, food and beverage industry
  Process connection, guide tube and float from stainless
  steel 1.4571, plastic or Buna
• Universal signal processing: Connection direct to a PLC is possible, NAMUR connection, signal amplification / contact protection relays
• Works independently of foaming, conductivity, dielectricity, pressure, vacuum, temperature, vapours, condensation, bubble formation, boiling effects and vibrations.
• Multiple functionality in a single instrument – up to 8 potential-free contacts
• Exact repeatability of the switch points
• Magnetic float switches qualify as passive electrical equipment in accordance with IEC 60079-11 and can be installed in “zone 1” hazardous areas without certification, so long as the equipment is operated in a certified intrinsically safe circuit with a minimum explosion protection of Ex ib.
