2.1 Functional description
Float switches with external chamber work on the float principle with
magnetic transmission. A reed contact integrated in the guide tube
is actuated through the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, when a
preset switch point is reached. The permanent magnet is located within
a float
, which changes its height with the level of the medium it is
monitoring. The switching status of the reed contact can be evaluated
and processed by a connected control device.
