Typical Applications 

This section covers some general situations where the rugged DF Series switches provide a 

simple-to-install solution. Applications include: 

Water Flood Systems 

Diesel Day Tanks 

Crude Oil Tanks 

Sumps 

Salt Water Disposal Systems 

Cooling Towers 

Water Flood Control Systems 

The diagram below displays eight DF Series switches installed on Raw Water and Clear Water 

tanks. When raw water rises to a predetermined level, 

DF#1

 stops the supply pump. As tank 

level falls below the set level, 

DF#2

 starts the supply pump. If the tank level continues to fall, 

DF#3

 initiates a shutdown of the supply pump. 

DF#4

 stops the transfer pump before the raw 

water tank is completely pumped out. 

When clear water reaches the predetermined level, 

DF#5

 stops the transfer pump. As tank 

level falls to the set low level, 

DF#6

 starts the transfer pump. If the tank level continues to fall 

due to the failure of the filters section, 

DF#7

 initiates shutdown of the transfer pump. (A DF755 

located at this level will also operate backwash equipment). 

DF#8

 stops the injection pump 

before tank pumps completely out. An OPL Series Pressure SWICHGAGE

®

 stops the injection 

pump when pressure reaches an established high or low pressure. 

 

Low Pressure Gas Blanket on Tank 

The level switches shown at right are installed 

on a crude oil tank where a low-pressure gas 

blanket is used to prevent evaporation loss. 

The switches are mounted directly to the side 

of the tank (or can be mounted on a riser pipe 

4 to 7” [102 to 178 mm] below the level to be 

controlled). The pump automatically stops or 

starts when the gas liquid reaches 

predetermined high or low level.
