The FS00Z level switch consists of a polypropylene housing with an integrated watertight and position dependent electromechanical microswitch. The unit works according to the lift principle. The hollow float is raised (lowered) by the rising (falling) liquid until it reaches an angle of 45° from horizontal when switching takes place. The mercury free float switch can be mounted to the tank/container via a through hole such as a 1/2" cable gland from the tank top.

The switch point is defined by manipulating placement of a supplied ballast weight on the connecting cable or by inserting cable through a tube of desired length.

The FS00Z level switch is suitable for level monitoring of compatible liquids and, due to the high contact rating of 10 (8) Amps, 250V, for direct pump control. It is well applied for potable water applications as well as heavily polluted media.
