FF Side Mounting Float Switch

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document outlines the features and applications of the FF series side mounted float level sensors, designed for horizontal installation on tanks or vessels. These sensors are suitable for both high and low-level controls and come in Micro-Switch and Reed Switch variants. The Micro-Switch type can withstand ambient temperatures up to 100°C. Custom mounting flanges and various floats for different specific gravities are available, with wetted parts made from materials such as plastics, stainless steel, and anti-corrosive types.

Working Principle
The operation of the float switch is based on buoyancy and magnetism. The float, containing a magnet, rises with the liquid level, triggering the switch to open or close the electrical circuit.

Features
- Options for Reed Switch and Micro Switch
- Custom mounting flanges (JIS, DIN, ANSI)
- Variety of floats for different specific gravities
- Materials include plastics, stainless steel, anti-corrosive, and explosion-proof types

Specifications
The document details specifications for various models, including operating temperature ranges, contact capacities, housing specifications, and applicable specific gravities. Models are certified by class societies such as DNV, LR, GL, BV, and ABS.

Configuration Diagrams
Diagrams provide visual representation of components and wiring for both Reed Switch and Micro Switch types, highlighting parts like the float, shaft, flange, pivot, housing, and magnet.

Installation Guidelines
Key installation considerations include positioning the cable duct downward, verifying the liquid's specific gravity before installation, and avoiding installation near the bin's inlet or outlet.

Order Information
Ordering details, including model numbers and configurations for various applications, are provided. Information on high-temperature and anti-corrosive models is also included.

Conclusion
The document emphasizes the importance of regular checks on mechanical parts and float functionality, and provides contact information for further inquiries.

FF Side Mounting Float Switch-2

WORKING PRINCIPLE The reed switch relies on two basic scientific principles namely: buoyancy and magnetism. Buoyancy causes the float (which contains a magnet) to rise with the liquid and magnetism helps open and close the switch. A change in liquid levels raises or lowers the float up or down. The end of the pivot arm (non float side) contains a permanent magnet that can repel the switch magnet (inside the stationary ‘stem’ of the entire structure). The side mounted float level sensor (FF series) are manufactured specifically for horizontal mounting on tanks or vessels. They work well as high...

IMPORTANCE FOR INSTALLATION 1. SUS304/SUS316 materials are not available for corrosive application. 4. Check the liquid’s S.G. level before installation. 2. The cable duct(s) must face downward to prevent moisture seeping in. 5. The mounting hole must be larger than the external diameter of the float. (Please refer to p2) 3. The float and extension rod must be inserted into the bin completely. 6. Don't mount the devices near the bin's inlet or outlet.
