The SOR

®

 1510 Level Switch mounts into the side of a vessel. Electric switching action is 

provided by the float moving a magnet into the field of a hermetically sealed reed switch 
capsule.

The unit may be mounted for either high or low liquid level alarm by rotating the switch 
body to the proper position. The body wrench flats provide for ease of rotation and proper 
positioning. See decal on housing.

Before Installation of the Level Switch:

   Inspect the unit for any shipment damage.

  Check for mechanical clearance of 

 

the float. Float must move freely without binding throughout its stroke. 

  Use an acceptable thread compound when installing unit to ensure a leak-free fit and to 

avoid thread galling.

  To achieve required function, install the unit according to the nameplate instructions 

shown here.

NOTE: If you suspect that a product is defective, contact the factory or the SOR Representative 
in your area for a return authorization number (RMA). This product should only be installed by 
trained and competent personnel.
