FLOAT SWITCHES TECHNICAL

The proven 9000 Series Matelec Float Switch, which utilises an innovative, yet simple, fool proof switching concept, 
has greatly enhanced Float Switch reliability. The positive microswitching, eliminates the possibility of more than one 
circuit being in operation at any one time. The design innovation of the Switch is the ‘sliding detent action’ which 
obviates wave induced oscillation (common in mercury type switches) while maintaining consistency in switching 
level accuracy. The smooth robust ABS switch housing on the 9006, 9008 and the 9010 models prevents adhesion of 
foreign materials.
