FGD-0222
Polypropylene Float Switch
• Versatile, economical, and compact.
• UL Listed internal reed switch.
• Normally closed, can be inverted for normally open
operation.
• M16 stem threading – each switch comes with a nut
and silicon 0–ring.
Operation:
When the fl oat switch drops to within .25” (+/- .10”) of the horizontal position, the internal reed contacts draw
together and complete a circuit. When the fl oat rises .50” (+/- .10”) from the horizontal position, the contacts
separate and open the circuit.
Warnings:
Do Not submerge the wires or the wire potting of any fl oat switch in liquid. The wires should stay dry at all
times.
Do Not use fl oat switch to directly control pumps or solenoids. Float switches directly adjacent to the magnetic
devices (not that many pumps use magnetic motors) or near strong magnetic fi elds as this may interfere with the
operation of the magnetic reed inside the switch.
Do Not subject to physical shock or strong vibration. The reed switch inside the stem is encased in a glass tube
and can break, causing the switch to malfunction.
