    Cut the probes on these switches to fit the size of your tank. They’re designed to use the properties of conductive liquid for operation, and actuate when conductive liquid reaches the probes to close the circuit. Do not use in flammable liquids. Mount them vertically through the top of your tank.
    2 Probes—Switches with two probes detect one level change.
    3 Probes—Switches with three probes detect two level changes, so they can activate your equipment when your tank is empty and when it’s full.

    Level Sensor Switches for Conductive Liquids

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Level Sensor Switches. Level Sensor Switches for Conductive Liquids.
    Designed to use the properties of conductive liquid for operation, these switches actuate when conductive liquid reaches the probes on the tip to close the circuit. They can be used with dirty fluid and liquid with high solid content, but are not for use with flammable liquids. Mount them horizontally or vertically. All are rated NEMA 6 for protection from washdowns.

    Noncontact Level Sensor Switches for Conductive Liquids

    Measure the level of conductive liquids without drilling a hole in your tank—these switches mount to the outside of the tank and track the capacitance between them and the tank’s contents. Use them on nonconductive plastic or glass wall tanks; they’re not compatible with metal tanks. They automatically adapt to your tank’s wall thickness, making them ready to use. These switches only respond when the liquid reaches the desired level, so foam and residue on the top of the liquid won’t trigger them early. For even more challenging setups, such as those with thick, sticky fluids, or if your tank has walls as thick as 10 mm, you can teach these switches to avoid false detections. All have LED indicators to show their power and output status.
    Made of plastic, their body is chemical resistant and NEMA and IP rated, so it keeps out dust and dirt, as well as drips of oil and jets of hot water. UL listed, C-UL listed, and CE marked, they meet U.S., Canadian, and European Union safety standards.
    Mount these switches directly on your sight glass using their adhesive back or use the included mounting bracket if you’ll need to remove them frequently. They also include foam pads for mounting them using straps around the outside of your tank.
