About Dual Magnetic Level Switch
Dual Magnetic Level Switch
Principle of Operation :
Model MLS -16
magnetic level switches work on the principle of magnetic repulsion and therefore they are glandless inside the switch housing which in turn operates an SPDT microswitch. Microswitch contacts can be utilized for initiating audio-visual signals or pump control.
Salient Features :
- As our switches work on magnetic repulsion principle, they are glandless and leak proof.
- No power consumption.
- Internal switch assembly bracket is of cast aluminium.
- Practically no maintenance is required except periodic cleaning.
- Maximum working temperature 250 degree C. (Process Temperature)
- No of contacts : 1 change over as standard. Optional - 2 change over
- For high temperature upto 350 degree C(Process temperature)
- 1 number SPDT reed swicth with current rating 100 VA, max swicthing current 5 Amps, max swicthing Gravity : Down to 0.75
Caution :
- Level Switches should not be used for direct starting / stopping of pumps. An external relay or contractor must always be used with the level switch.
- MLS-16 side mounted level switches must always be mounted horizontally with outgoing cable entry facing downwards.
- In case of high temperature Model MLS-04-92 HT/MLS-16-92HT and Low Temperature Models
- SMT-16-F82 and SMT-16-F92 arc suppressors/current limiting bias resistor must be provided depending on the load viz inductive or lamp load etc. to reduce the deteriorating effect of contacts due to surge voltages and high in-rush current.
Dimension Models :
- (MLS - 16 - F 82) & (MLS - 16 - F 92 ) & (MLS - 16 - F92)
- L = 165 mm g=80 mm, with d =49 mm f float
- *Application only for model MLS-04/16 - F92, When 62 mm dia float is used L = 240 mm g=135 mm wuth d = 62 mm f
- All dimensions are in millimeter (Tolerance -+/-2mm)
- Model (MLS-16-F82) or (MLS-16-F92S) side mounted magnetic Level Switch.Process neoprene gromet. Supplied with 1.5 Metre long 3-core PVC Cable.

Quick response and a long mechanical life make it an ideal choice for automatic liquid level monitoring.
FAQs of Dual Magnetic Level Switch:
Q: How do I install the Dual Magnetic Level Switch?
A: The switch can be mounted either at the top or side of the tank. Connect the three wires according to the wiring diagram for SPDT configuration, ensuring proper insulation and tight connections for safe operation.
Q: What media are compatible with this level switch?
A: The switch is compatible with water, oil, and a variety of chemicals, making it suitable for use in tanks, reservoirs, and process vessels in industrial settings.
Q: When should I use the NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) outputs?
A: The NO output is used when you want the circuit to close (allow current flow) upon level detection, while the NC output is for applications where the circuit opens (interrupts current flow) when the desired level is reached.
Q: Where can this switch be used?
A: It is ideal for industrial facilities requiring reliable liquid level monitoring, such as manufacturing plants, water treatment units, oil processing, and chemical storage environments.
Q: What is the process for replacing or maintaining the level switch?
A: Turn off all power sources before inspecting or replacing the switch. Check wiring and mounting integrity regularly, and ensure no buildup or corrosion is present on the float or housing for optimal performance.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this level switch?
A: Key benefits include precise level sensing, long mechanical life (>1,000,000 operations), high insulation (100 M at 500V DC), and fast response time (<20 ms), ensuring dependable and efficient automation in liquid management systems.
Q: Can the switch handle both AC and DC power sources?
A: Yes, the level switch is rated for up to 220V AC or 24V DC input, providing flexibility to work with various industrial power supplies.
