TECHNOLOGY Snap switch Side mounting units 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 ➀ into or out of the field of a switch actuating magnet ➁ causing switch operation. A non- Return spring magnetic barrier tube ¬ effectively isolates the switch mechanism from the controlled liquid.
