Liquid Level Sensors
Liquid Level Sensors & Floats - Liquid Level Sensors
LS01- LS05 are level sensors with integrated magnetic floats and cable terminals to detect low fluid levels, multiple fluid points, they are simple, dependable, and low cost. [more]
Magnetic Floats
Floating Magnets
The Magnetic Float seris MS01-MS10, made of plastic or stainless steel have build-in magnets and are used to magnetically actuate a reed switch(es) in our liquid level sensor series. [more]
 


Mini-Glossary

Form A = normally open contact (N. O.)
Form B = normally closed contact (N.C.)
Form C = change over contact (S.P.D.T.)
Form E = Bistable / Latching
AT = Ampere Turns; Parameter that describes magnetic sensitivity.
