About Horizontal Mounted Float Switch

Horizontal Mounted Float Switch

Magnetic Level switches are widely used for measurement and control of almost any liquid level. User area include lubrication systems, hydraulic power packs, industrial washing & cleaning systems. Ultrasonic cleaning equipments, machine tools, storage tanks, liquid dispensing systems, over head and underground storage tanks, thermic uid heaters, boilers etc.

Potential free contacts provided in the level switch may be utilised to make or break an electrical circuit indication of high and low levels, audible high/low level alarms, automatic pump control, to open or close electrically operated valves, to cut-off or switch on heating elements.

The Basic reed switch consists of two identical attened ferromagnetic reeds, sealed in a dry inert gas atmosphere within a glass capsule as shown above. The reeds are sealed in the capsule in cantilever form so that their free end overlap and are separated by a small air gap. When a

magnetic force is generated parallel to the reed switch, the reeds become ux carriers in the magnetic circuit. The overlapping ends of the reeds become opposite magnetic poles, which attract each other. If the magnetic force between the poles is strong enough to overcome the restoring force of the reeds, the reeds will be drawn together when the magnetic force is withdrawn the contact breaks.

Side-mounted level switch :

A hermetically sealed-in-glass reed switch located inside the stem is actuated by a magnet in the tailpiece of the oat, when the oat moves upward due to rise of liquid level. When the liquid level falls the oat moves downward, the magnet moves away and the Reed Switch contact breaks.

Salient Features :

Reed-Switch actuated level switches work on the principle of magnetic ux linkage and therefore they are gland less and leak-proof instruments.
No Power Consumption.
Contacts are potential free, NO, NC or CO contacts can be provided.
Practically no maintenance is required except periodic cleaning.
As reed-switches are inside metallic tube-guide pipe, protected from mechanical damage.
Reed switches have Rhodium contacts with low contact resistance.
Wherever Low Voltages are available 24V or less Reed-Switch actuated level switches may be used directly, Otherwise it should be used in conjuction with our "Electronic control Unit". This ensures enhanced life of the level switch.
Wide operating temperature range from-40deg.C to +125 deg.C. Optional Upto 175 deg C.
Reed-Actuated level switches are ideal where vibration is involved.
In a single level switch we offer a maximum of 5 level sensing.
For highly viscous liquids heavy oats with teon coated guide pipes are available.

Robust Design and Customization

Manufactured using stainless steel and a polished finish, this horizontal float switch offers excellent corrosion resistance for long-term performance. With customizable stroke lengths, wire extensions, and available thread sizes (M12 or M16), it can be tailored to fit various installation requirements. Suitable for demanding environments, the high insulation resistance and IP65 protection ensure safe and reliable operation.

Reliable Performance in Liquid Level Control

Engineered for rapid liquid level detection, the float switch reacts within 0.2 seconds, maintaining dependable function in both manual and semi-automatic systems. Operating within a temperature range of -10C to 85C and capable of handling up to 0.5A current, its ideal for diverse industrial, storage, or process applications. The single pole, SPST design supports both normally open and closed circuits for versatile control integration.

FAQs of Horizontal Mounted Float Switch:

Q: How is the horizontal mounted float switch installed in a liquid tank?

A: The switch is installed horizontally through the tank wall using its threaded connection (either M12 or M16, as per the selected model). Typically, its inserted at the desired liquid threshold level, secured with the included nut and gasket, and connected electrically using the provided 300mm wire, which can be customized to fit the installation site.

Q: What advantages does the stainless steel float material offer?

A: Stainless steel construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making the float switch suitable for a wide variety of liquids, including water, oils, and certain chemicals. It also supports longer mechanical life and reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Q: When should I opt for the NO (Normally Open) or NC (Normally Closed) contact form?

A: Choose a NO (Normally Open) contact when you want the circuit to close (activate) as the liquid rises to the set point. Use NC (Normally Closed) if the circuit should remain closed until the float drops below the set level, at which point it opens (deactivates). Selection depends on your control logic or safety requirements.

Q: Where is it most beneficial to use this type of float switch?

A: Horizontal float switches are ideal for liquid level monitoring and control in tanks, reservoirs, or sumps found in industrial, water treatment, agriculture, or HVAC systems. Their robust build and IP65 rating make them especially suitable for environments exposed to moisture, dust, or moderate pressure.

Q: What is the process for customizing wire length or stroke?

A: Customization is typically arranged during the ordering process by specifying the required wire length or stroke. Manufacturers and suppliers, such as those in India, can adjust these parameters to match your systems specifications before shipment, ensuring seamless installation and performance.

Q: How does the float switch integrate with automatic or semi-automatic systems?

A: The switchs SPST configuration and both NO/NC options allow seamless integration with control panels, alarms, or pumps. In semi-automatic setups, it provides a signal for manual intervention, while in automated environments, it can directly control devices to maintain desired liquid levels, improving safety and efficiency.
