Overview
The SJE 1023556 SignalMaster float control switch is a mechanically-activated, narrow-angle instrument designed to monitor liquid levels and activate pump control panels and alarms in water and sewage applications. This control switch is used to accurately monitor high (normally open) or low (normally closed) liquid levels to activate pump control panels and alarms in water and sewage applications. Built to function reliably in challenging industrial environments, it provides precise level detection for automated system operation.
Key Features
- Not sensitive to rotation — flexible installation orientation
- Flexible 18 gauge, 2 conductor (UL, CSA) SJOW, water-resistant (CPE) cable with standard lengths of 10, 15, 20, or 30 feet
- High impact, corrosion resistance, polypropylene housing for sewage and water applications
- Mounting Clamp for applications where the float can be attached to a discharge pipe or similar mounting device
- Narrow-angle mechanical actuation for reliable switching
