HORIZONTAL
LIQUID LEVEL SENSORS
LS Series
High- or low-level switching
N.O./N.C. SPST or SPDT outputs
Mounted on the side wall of a tank
Certified reed switch (UL component listed)
Choice of several non-reactive wetted materials
Many different configurations available
The LS series of point liquid level switches demonstrates a high
degree of reliability due to the use of non-reactive wetted
components and a unique reed switch designed specifically for
level sensing applications. The sensor utilizes a moving float with
an embedded magnet to activate a reed switch located in the
sensor body. As the liquid level raises the float, it moves into close
proximity to the reed switch and actuates it to give an open contact
or closed contact switch indication.
Features
Voltage rating up to 250VAC
Current rating up to 1.0 amp
Compact design and low profile
Optional cable lengths
Includes mounting hardware
The reliability of this sensor results from a very simple operating
principle, a single moving part, media compatible wetted materials,
and a unique reed switch design that has a UL recognized
component certification.
Applications
Water and fuel storage tanks
Full and/or empty detection
Pump on/off controls
The sensor mounts into the side wall of a liquid storage tank using
either a 1/2” NPT or M16 x 2.0 threaded fitting. The M16 mount is
available in either an internal or external configuration. The output
is a simple N.O. or N.C. SPST, or SPDT reed switch that utilizes
Ruthenium contact points for reliability. Changing from a N.O.
output to a N.C. output is done by rotating the switch 180° in the
mounting hole. This change can be done in the field. Electrical
outputs are a single pair of wires with PVC insulation and optional
lengths of 0.5 m or 2.0 m.
