B40 level switches employ permanent magnetic force as the only link between the float and the switching element. As the pivoted float follows liquid level changes, it moves a magnetic sleeve ® into or out of the field of a switch actuating magnet ® causing switch operation. A non-magnetic barrier tube © effectively isolates the switch mechanism from the controlled liquid. Type of switch module ® ® For applications with heavy vibration, consult factory for suited switch modules. ® Max process temperature is specified at 40 °C (100 °F) ambient temperature. ® For more details - see bulletin BE 42-120....
