The micro-switch assembly inside the float, axially mounted in line with the weight, changes contacts
according to the float’s position, as in the diagram below. Therefore as the liquid level drops or rises slowly,
a pump or flow control suitably connected, can be switched in or out to maintain an average level of the
liquid. By connecting only one side of the switch, the unit can be also used to fill or empty the tank as
required.
Dimensions, in mm, do not take into consideration
any lateral swing of the cable.
