Liquid Level Switches

The LS liquid level switch is a highly reliable method of detecting fluid levels. Solid state construction ensures many years of trouble-free operation. The hermetically sealed sight glass provides high working pressures without leakage. The liquid level is optically detected through a sight glass. Fluids can be as clear as water or as dirty as crude oil.

The switch must be installed horizontally and must have at least 2" of distance between it and the vessel wall or pipe. Line voltage is wired directly to the switch, removing the need for step down transformers. A 1/2" conduit boss is provided for the mounting of a junction box. Two thread models are available for various applications.
