Model TK1 Side-Mounted Float Level Switch - 1

Model TK1 Side-Mounted Float Level Switch DESCRIPTION The TK1 liquid level switches are float-actuated devices designed for horizontal mounting in a tank or process vessel through threaded or flanged connections. This low-cost switch is ideal for OEM applications where a single point high or low level alarm is desired. TECHNOLOGY The TK1 achieves switching action through the use of a magnet attached to the float assembly and the magnet’s interaction with a reed switch. As the liquid level changes, the float and, therefore, the float magnet, moves. The proximity of the float magnet to the reed switch causes the switch to change state, making or breaking an electrical circuit. • Storage tanks • Process temperature ratings to +300° F (149° C) • Process vessels • High or low level alarm • Compact design • Overflow protection • For use on rising or falling level • Explosion-proof installations • Reliable reed switch action • Seal pots • All stainless steel construction
