INTRODUCTION

PRINCIPLE
Simple theory as liquid buoyancy is utilized for
the main principle of this "FF" series. A change of
liquid level correspondingly travels the float to
extreme levels up and down. The reed switch is
thus "NC" and "NO" exchanged as well as the
permanent magnet on pivot will have mutual
repellence to the other one inside on the housing
for like poles, which the Microswitch is button-
pushed by magnet to states "NO" and "NC"
exchanging likewise.
FEATURES
The side mounted float level sensor ( FF series)
are manufactured specifically for horizontal
mounting in a tank or vessel. They work well as
high or low level control.
1. Both MicroSwitch type and Reed Switch are
available. The MicroSwitch type is usable
even at ambient temp. of 100C max.
2. Mounting flanges are custom-made. (JIS, DIN,
ANSI).
3. A rich variety of floats suits different specific
gravity (S.G.) of liquid.(Custom-made)
4. Liquid-wetted party material can be selected
from SUS304 or SUS316 as well as enclo-
sure explosion proof model.

IMPORTANCE FOR INSTALLATION

1. SUS304/SUS316 materials is not available for
corrosive application.
2. The cable duct(s) must face downward to pre-
vent moisture sipping in.
3. The float and extension rod must be inserted
into a bin completely.
4. Be sure the liquid object's S.G. before
installation.
5. The mounting hole must be larger than
the external diameter of float.(Please
refer to page 2)
6. Don't mount the devices near the bin's
inlet or outlet.
