FLOAT SWITCHES

Mechanical Float Switch

Mechanically activated fl oat switches offer a reliable low current control for dewatering applications.

How It Works

The mechanical fl oat switch control will turn ON (close) when the fl oat tips 45° above -horizontal, indicating a high level, and turns OFF (opens) when the fl oat switch drops 45° below horizontal. Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5. Maximum pumping range is 120 degrees. See Figure 3 below.

Pumping Range

The pumping range of the pump is determined by the fl oat switch tether cord. Use Table 2 as guide line to determine your required pumping range. Pumping ranges are based on non-turbulent conditions. Range may vary due to water temperature and cord shape. Please note as the tether length increases, so does the variance of the pumping range.
