2.1 Functional description
Float switches work on the float principle with magnetic transmission.
A reed contact integrated in the guide tube is actuated through the
magnetic field of a permanent magnet, when a preset switch point
is reached. The permanent magnet is located within a float , which
changes its height with the level of the medium it is monitoring. The
switching status of the reed contact can be evaluated and processed by
a connected control device.
The number and arrangement of floats is dependent on the number of
the defined switch points, their contact function and also the distance
between the switch points.
