Float Switch Horizontal Int Mount UL

Sensata Cynergy3 Horizontal Internal Float Switch, 1m Cable, Polypropylene - RSF40 Series - RSF48Y100RF

Use this Sensata Cynergy3 float switch to monitor the liquid levels inside an industrial tank. The device is commonly used to prevent overflow when filling a tank and to let you know when levels are low and refilling is needed. The float lies on top of the liquid and flicks the switch using magnetic force when the liquid rises or falls beyond a certain point. As it's a horizontal switch, it mounts to the side of a tank, making it useful for applications where the tank's top or bottom is difficult to access. This type of float switch is commonly used in vending machines and commercial washing machines.

Features & Benefits

• Robust polypropylene (PP) body material resists wear and provides long-lasting use
• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +100°C allows for use in extreme temperatures
• Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) seal has high resistance to liquid and chemicals to keep the switch sufficiently insulated
• NO/NC (normally open/normally closed) contacts for versatile configuration

What type of electrical connection does this float switch use?

This float switch has 100cm flying leads sheathed in an impact and chemical-resistant PVC (polyvinyl chloride) material for a durable electrical connection.

Cynergy3 Horizontal Float Switches

Cynergy3 offers wide range of horizontal switches which are WRAS approved and have low-cost compact design. These horizontal float switches consist of a reed switch and a pivoted actuator magnet and can be used for N/O or N/C operation. The switch action can be reversed by mounting the float switch with the float able to move upwards away from the body instead of downwards.

WRAS approval explained

WRAS is the standard against waste, misuse, undue consumption or contamination of the water supply and must have an appropriate quality and standard.

What materials can you choose from?

• Nylon
• Polypropylene
• Polypropylene Sulfide (PPS)

Features and Benefits

• Operating temperature: -10 °C to +120 °C
• N/O or N/C Switch output
• Switch action may be reversed by rotating the switch through 180º
• Choice of gasket materials: Silicone, Nitrile, Viton or combination of Silicone & Nitrile
• Flying Lead
