External Cage Displacer Actuated Liquid Level Switches - 2

OPTIONS • Special levels/body extensions • Gold switch contacts • Vent and drain connections TECHNOLOGY The weight of the displacer ➀ is supported by the spring ➁. Rising liquid level imparts buoyancy forces on the displacer allowing the spring to compress. The attraction sleeve ➂, attached to the spring, moves upward into the field of a permanent magnet ➃. Magnet motion causes the switch ➄ to actuate. A non-magnetic barrier tube ≈ provides a static pressure boundary between the switch mechanism and the displacer assembly.
