Dwyer Instruments L6EPB-B-S-3-A Flotect level switch is used to detect and control the level of liquid in a container or tank. It consists of a buoyant object (float) attached to a switch mechanism. As the liquid level rises or falls, the float moves up or down accordingly.
Working Mechanism:
- Install the liquid level switch in the desired tank or container, ensuring proper positioning and mounting to allow free movement of the float with the liquid level changes.
- Connect the electrical contacts of the liquid level switch to the appropriate circuit or control system.
- Set the desired level thresholds for the switch by adjusting the positioning of the float.
- When the process liquid displaces the float, the float lever pivots within the body.
- The magnet on the float lever's opposite end controls a second magnet on the switch actuating lever in the switch housing.
Features:
- Dwyer Instruments L6EPB-B-S-3-A Flotect level switch has a leak-proof lower body machined from bar stock for enhanced durability and reliability.
- It provides flexible mounting options for easy installation on side walls or as a direct tee, serving as an external float chamber.
- This unit has a 303 stainless steel, weatherproof and explosion-proof body, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
- It has a replaceable electrical assembly for easy maintenance, eliminating the need for shutting down the process during replacement.
- This Dwyer Flotect mini size flow switch has high accuracy with sensitivity to level changes of less than 1/2 inches (12 mm), providing precise liquid level monitoring.
