Product Description

The 30 Series Float Switch 240v is a horizontally mounted liquid level sensor suitable for harsh environments. It has a self cleaning hinge mechanism and can be changed from Normally Open to Normally Closed operation to allow for sensing of high or low conditions by rotating the orientation of the body through 180°.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 30 Series horizontal float switch work?
The 30 Series mounts through the side of a tank. As the liquid level rises or falls, the hinged float moves and changes the switch state at the set level, providing a simple signal for level monitoring or control.
Can the 30 Series be used as a normally open or normally closed float switch?
Yes. Rotating the body orientation through 180 degrees changes the switching action, allowing the 30 Series to sense either a high-level or low-level condition.
Should I choose nylon or polypropylene for a chemical float switch?
The correct material depends on the liquid, its concentration and the operating temperature. The 30 Series is available in nylon and polypropylene, both offering good chemical resistance, but compatibility should be confirmed with Deeter before selection.
What are the operating temperature limits of the 30 Series?
The nylon version is specified from -20°C to +125°C and the polypropylene version from -20°C to +80°C. Temperature and chemical compatibility should be considered together when choosing the material.
Is the 30 Series suitable for hazardous areas?
The standard 30 Series page does not state ATEX or IECEx certification. It should not be specified for a potentially explosive atmosphere where certified equipment is required; Deeter provides a separate range of certified hazardous-area float switches.
