PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

4 INTRODUCTION

4 WORKING PRINCIPLE

The reed switch relies on two basic scientific

principles namely: buoyancy and magnetism.
Buoyancy causes the float (which contains a
magnet) to rise with the liquid and magnetism
helps open and close the switch.
Since this product's this product has been
introduced to the market, it has seen
significant improvement and advances with
regards to convenience, safety and lowering
costs.

Fig. 1 illustrates the pivot activation (FCH Type

reed switch). When float's magnet is moved
close to the switch's stationary stem, the float
magnet pushes the stem's switch circuit
together and closes the electrical circuit. When
the float magnet is moved away from the stem,
the switch circuit separates and the circuit is
opened.

The float switches are extremely compact,

simple and are easy to install on any small
locations.
closed
These switches are not affected by electrical
interference and can withstand chemicals,
high temperatures and pressures if the
correct material of float switch is selected.

4 LIQUID PROPERTIES AND FLOATS

(Fig. 1)

The switch's float should always have a

specific gravity (SG) less than the liquid that
holds the float.
(SG float < SG liquid)
When the liquid level rises the float will rise
up due to its buoyancy. The float's upward
movement will actuate the switch and close
the circuit.

Fig. 2 illustrates perpendicular

activation (FC V TYPE float reed switches).
When the liquid level rises and pushes the float
up, the floats ring magnet (sealed in the float)
moves close to the switchs stationary stem.

Different float materials can be used to

ensure the float's SG level is less than the
liquid. (Water's SG level is 1 while gasoline
SG levels tend to be less than 1).

The magnet pushes the circuit together and

when it makes contact, it closes the electrical
circuit. When the float magnet moves away
from the switch, the circuit contact is released
and the switch is opened.

Because the float switches are activated by

the magnetic field inside the float, make sure
the liquid contains no iron traces or
substances that can induce magnetic
interference.

R= E E
10I(1+ 50 )

When using reed switches for inductive loads

such as motors, relay coil, solenoids, etc., the
contact points will sometimes be subjected to
high voltages. Such high induced voltages may
damage the reed switch or significantly reduce its
life.

Therefore, circuit protectors such as: RC

snubbers, varistors or clamping diodes are
recommended. (see Fig. 4a, Fig. 4b, Fig. 4c)

When using reed switches for capacitive loads
such as capacitors, incandescent lamps or long
cables, the contact points will be subjected to electrical surges.Therefore, protective circuits such
as: surge suppressors or current limiting resistors
are recommended. (Fig. 5a, Fig. 5b)
