The position of the reading point of the float with respect to the switching point of the limit 
switch can vary from one type of float to another. If it is the first time that the switching point 
is adjusted, with the float in a stable position, move the limit switch until the reed sensor 
switches.

LIMIT 

SWITCH 

12.1 Introduction 

The APR limit switch can be used to generate an alarm or an operation when the level that 
the instrument is measuring reaches a preset value. It is a bi–stable SPDT limit switch. 

It consists of a reed sensor that is actuated by the magnetic field of the float. 

12.2 Operation 

When the float passes through the point where the limit switch is positioned, it changes the 
state of the reed sensor, and therefore the output state. This is maintained until the float 
passes in the opposite direction by the point where the switch is, returning again to the 
previous state. 

12.3 

Switching point adjustment 

12.3.1 LT models 

To fix the limit switch on the level gauge, completely loosen the clamp (D) and open it. With 
the clamp open, place the limit switch in the body of the level indicator and close the clamp 
on the tube. 

Place the level switch at the desired level and tighten the clamp.
