Water Level Switch

The document provides an overview of the side mounted float switch (FF series), which operates on the principles of buoyancy and magnetism to control liquid levels in tanks. It details the features, including options for Micro-Switch and Reed Switch types, custom mounting flanges, and various float materials suitable for different specific gravities. Additionally, it outlines installation considerations and typical positioning for optimal performance.
