3 m Unilite Float

As the liquid level rises or falls, the float moves with the liquid. The float’s water-filled neoprene bag provides stable buoyancy, and the motion activates the internal switch. The stainless steel housing protects the mechanism from corrosion, supporting long-term reliability.

Key specs include a durable stainless steel housing, corrosion resistance, dual-polarity output for wiring flexibility, adjustable operational temperature range, and a multi-conductor cable for easy connections. It’s designed for high-flow operation to reduce clogging and maintain fast response times.

It’s suited for general liquids in tanks and similar vessels and can be used with liquids such as water, oil, gasoline, and other compatible fluids. It’s designed for reliable operation across a wide range of liquid types, though you should avoid exposing it to incompatible substances beyond its ratings.

Installation involves mounting the adjustable float wall mount at the desired activation level, routing the multi-conductor cable to your control system, and positioning the float so it moves freely with liquid level changes. After mounting, test the switch at a few liquid levels to confirm proper operation before putting it into full service.

The dual-polarity output lets you drive two circuits or connect to different inputs. Use the cable conductors to connect the switch contacts to your control module or PLC, observing correct polarity and ensuring the power supply matches your system’s requirements. Follow your control system’s wiring diagram and keep connections protected from moisture.

Maintenance is typically minimal. Periodically inspect the housing for signs of corrosion, check cables for wear or damage, ensure the float moves freely without obstruction, and clean any debris that could affect buoyancy or movement. If in a challenging environment, perform more frequent checks.

First, verify power and wiring to ensure proper connections. Check that the float can move freely and isn’t blocked by debris. Confirm the activation level by adjusting the wall mount and re-testing at multiple liquid levels. Inspect the cable for damage and confirm the control input is configured for a dual-polarity switch.

These provide similar level-sensing capabilities with different lengths or mounting options.

Use cases include monitoring liquid levels in storage tanks, wells, cisterns, and basins, controlling pumps or valves to maintain a set level, and providing a simple level alarm for critical applications such as water treatment, chemical processing, or fuel storage.

This float switch offers durable stainless steel construction with versatile dual-polarity output and adjustable temperature performance, which can provide long-term reliability in demanding environments. For returns, refer to Fepy’s standard return policy terms, including eligibility windows and condition requirements, to ensure you can return unused items within the specified timeframe.

Ensure the liquid being sensed is compatible with the switch materials and within its temperature range. Use proper electrical isolation and protective enclosures for moisture-prone environments. Install and wire the device according to applicable electrical codes and, if needed, have a qualified technician perform the installation. Avoid exposing the switch to incompatible or highly volatile fluids beyond its ratings.
