L-5SS Liquid Level Switches

Aug. 12, 2011

Specific Gravity Compensating

  • Featuring continuously adjustable float buoyancy control to allow use in fluids with specific gravity down to 0.6
  • Continuous buoyancy control allows switch activation at oil/water interface
  • Consult factory for other bicomponent fluid interface systems.

Wetted surfaces

302, 316 stainless steel, Viton elastomer seal, and Teflon gasket allow operation in a wide spectrum of environments such as:

  • Contaminated ground water
  • Hydrocarbons
  • Machine cutting oils
  • Medium concentrated acids and bases, etc.
  • Rusty coolant water
  • Sea Water
  • Sewage
  • Waste water
  • 15 amp, 120 or 230 VAC, SPDT or DPDT switch action
  • Gold Cross Bar Dry Circuit Computer/PLC Interface SPDT Switch Model also available
  • May be used in hazardous areas when used with intrinsically safe relays.
