A permanent magnet © is attached to a pivoted switch actuator ©. As the float or displacer ® rises with the liquid level, it raises the attraction sleeve © into the field of the magnet, which then snaps against the non-magnetic enclosing tube ©, actuating the switch ©. The enclosing tube provides a static pressure boundary between the switch mechanism and the process. On a falling level, an inconel spring retracts the magnet, deactuating the switch. MODEL APPROVED APPROVAL CLASSES All with an electric switch mechanism and a housing listed as TYPE 4X/7/9 All with an electric switch mechanism...

For float operated units, minimum specific gravity and actuating levels vary depending upon the material of construction code used with the unit. For displacer operated units, minimum specific gravity and actuating levels vary depending upon the temperature at which the unit is operated. NOTE: The minimum specific gravity and actuating levels shown are for single switch units with 1" process connections only. Minimum specific gravity and levels will change for multistage units and levels will change for units with 1/2" or 2" process connections. Consult factory for these changes. The level...
