level switch

The T10 float level switch offers industrial and municipal Adjustable differential band with no relay chatter,
users a low cost solution to wide differential level specific gravity range of 0.6 to 1.5
applications. The patented moving ballast causes a flipping
motion of the float to provide positive switching action even
under turbulent conditions. Recommended for use in either
clean or dirty liquids, it is ideal for use in both sump control,
wet well applications and pilot systems.

FEATURES
* Differential band 6 m (20 ft), 12 m (40 ft) or 18 m (60 ft),
determined by the length of the cable.
* May be wired for automatic fill or empty cycles.
* Dry contact switch mechanism.
* Cable CSA (SJTO) approved.
* Switch chatter eliminated with moving ballast.
* Single float with simple control circuit eliminates the
need for latching devices or double switching with 2
units.
* Provides positive switching action, even in turbulent
conditions.
* Cable anchoring point protected by an adjustable strain
relief.
* All wetted parts in PVC for increased resistance to water
based chemicals.
* Heavy duty construction requires no maintenance when
properly mounted.
* Mounts easily by cable tie (included) or optional cable
weight.
