Models T5x & T6x Side Mounted Float Switches
Side mounting controls mount horizontally to any tank or vessel through a threaded or flanged pipe connection. Standard models are normally equipped with a single switch mechanism for high or low level alarm or control applications. Tandem models with two switch mechanisms are available for two level stage applications, providing the operating functions of two separate instruments such as high and low level alarm.
Operating Principle
As a counter weighted float follows liquid level change, it moves a magnetic sleeve into or out of the field of a switch-actuating magnet causing switch operation. A non-magnetic barrier tube effectively isolates the switch mechanism from the controlled liquid.
