Specifications
- <p>Description and Function</p><p>Purpose: A float switch automatically manages fluid levels by controlling a connected device, such as a pump, valve, or alarm system. This helps prevent tanks from overflowing or pumps from running dry.</p><p>Mechanism: The device operates on the principle of buoyancy. A buoyant body (the float) rises or falls with the liquid level. This movement triggers an internal mechanical or magnetic switch to open or close an electrical circuit.</p><p>Configuration: The cable length and an adjustable counterweight determine the specific high and low points at which the switch activates or deactivates the connected equipment.</p><p>Applications: They are widely used in various settings, including residential water tanks, sump pumps, sewage treatment systems, industrial processes, and marine bilge systems. </p>
