Product catalog summary
Overview: The Magnetrol Model T10 float level switch is designed for industrial and municipal applications, offering a cost-effective solution for wide differential level applications. It is suitable for both clean and dirty liquids, making it ideal for sump control, wet well applications, and pilot systems.
Features:
  • Differential band options of 20, 40, or 60 feet, determined by cable length.
  • Can be wired for automatic fill or empty cycles.
  • Dry contact switch mechanism with CSA-approved cable.
  • Eliminates switch chatter with a moving ballast.
  • Single float design with a simple control circuit.
  • Specific gravity range from 0.6 to 1.5.
  • Positive switching action even in turbulent conditions.
  • All PVC components for resistance to water-based chemicals.
  • Easy mounting with included cable tie or optional cable weight.
Applications: Suitable for water and wastewater, PVC compatible caustics, chemicals, and acids.
Specifications:
  • Switch type: SPDT dry contact.
  • Process temperature: Maximum +140°F (+60°C).
  • Ambient temperature: +32 to +140°F (0 to +60°C).
  • Specific gravity: 0.6 minimum / 1.5 maximum.
  • Maximum float switch current: 12A at +32 to +86°F (0 to +30°C).
  • Maximum float switch voltage: 250 VDC / 250 VACRMS.
  • Materials: PVC with adjustable neoprene strain relief and Buna cosmetic ring.
  • Cable size: 18 AWG (3 x 1.5 mm) 41 strands.
Principle of Operation: The T10 level switch operates with a dry contact switch and a swinging ballast. The cable is anchored at the midpoint of the differential band. As the liquid level changes, the float tilts, causing the ballast to swing and the switch contacts to change state, ensuring reliable operation even in turbulent conditions.
Mounting Procedure:
  • Cable Tie Method: Secure the cable to a structure in the tank using cable ties, ensuring the full extension of the cable is unobstructed.
  • Cable Weight Method: Use when no anchoring structure is available. Secure the cable weight at the midpoint of the desired differential band and ensure the cable is not secured to sharp objects.
Wiring Procedure: The T10 switch can be wired for fill or empty pump control functions or as a high or low-level alarm. Specific wiring instructions are provided for different functions.
Quality and Warranty: Magnetrol guarantees high-quality products and services, with a quality assurance system registered to ISO 9001. The T10 switch is warranted free of defects for five years from the date of shipment.

Model T10 Cable Mounted Float Level-1

• Water and wastewater • PVC compatible caustics • PVC compatible chemicals • PVC compatible acids DESCRIPTION The Magnetrol® Model T10 float level switch offers industrial and municipal users a low-cost solution to wide differential level applications. The 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 sump control, wet well applications and pilot systems. FEATURES • Differential band 20, 40, or 60 feet (determined by cable length) • 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 two units • Specific gravity range of 0.6 to 1.5 • Positive switching action—even in turbulent conditions • Cable anchoring point protected by adjustable strain relief • All PVC exposed components make it resistant to water-based chemicals • Mounts easily by cable tie (included) or optional cable weight Model T10-5104-020 is available for quick shipment, usually within one week after factory receipt of a complete purchase order, through the Expedite Ship Plan (ESP)

Model T10 Cable Mounted Float Level-3

T10 level switch may be mounted by using cable ties included with the unit, or by the optional cable weight which must be purchased separately. CAUTION: The recommended method of carrying the T10 is by the cable. The unique moving ballast in the unit may cause it to unexpectedly flip out of the individual’s hands. Cable weight method (optional) Cable tie method (standard) A pipe or other structure must be available in the tank to which the plastic cable tie may be affixed. Refer to Figure 7. Position the adjustable strain relief on the cable to allow one-half of the distance of the differential...
