PRODUCT DETAILS

0.5M CABLE FLOAT SWITCH

Automatic Water Level Control for Pumps & Tanks

Need a simple way to control water levels in your tank, sump or drainage system? The 0.5M Cable Float Switch is designed to automatically control electrical equipment according to the liquid level.

This mechanical float switch rises and falls with the water, activating its internal switch as the liquid level changes. It can be used in suitable pump control systems to help prevent tanks from overflowing or pumps from operating when water levels are too low.

Built for demanding environments, the float switch features a durable one-piece polyurethane casing, electrical contacts protected by three watertight chambers and a maximum working pressure of 10 bar.

It's suitable for applications involving turbulent industrial water, water containing suspended residues and compatible wastewater systems.

Why You'll Love It

  • Automatic Water Level Control: Helps manage pump operation as water levels rise and fall.

  • 0.5m Cable Included: Compact cable length for suitable installations.

  • Suitable for Dirty Water: Designed for compatible wastewater and industrial water applications.

  • Handles Turbulent Water: Suitable for demanding liquid-level monitoring environments.

  • 10 Bar Maximum Working Pressure: Designed to withstand pressure in suitable installations.

  • Durable Polyurethane Casing: One-piece blow-moulded construction for added durability.

  • Watertight Contact Protection: Electrical contacts are protected by three watertight chambers.

  • Changeover Contact: Offers flexibility for compatible pump control circuits.

  • 250V AC Rating: Suitable for correctly rated electrical control applications.

  • TÜV, IMQ & EC Certifications: Listed in the supplied product specifications.

How Does a Float Switch Work?

The 0.5M Cable Float Switch uses a simple mechanical switching system to monitor liquid levels.

As the water level rises, the float moves upwards. When the water level drops, the float moves downwards.

This movement changes the position of the internal electrical switch, allowing it to control compatible equipment.

Depending on how the switch is wired, it can be used to:

  • Prevent Tank Overflow: Stop a filling pump when the water reaches a selected level.

  • Control Drainage Pumps: Activate a pump when water rises in a sump or drainage pit.

  • Protect Against Low Water Levels: Stop a compatible pump when the water level becomes too low.

  • Automate Water Level Management: Reduce the need to manually switch pumps on and off.

The float switch must be correctly positioned and wired for the intended application.

Designed for Demanding Water Conditions

Unlike float switches intended only for clean water, this model is designed for more challenging liquid-level control applications.

Its construction makes it suitable for compatible systems containing:

  • Turbulent industrial water

  • Water with suspended residues

  • Wastewater

  • Sewer water

The one-piece polyurethane casing provides a durable outer housing, while the three watertight chambers help protect the internal electrical contacts.

Ideal Applications

The 0.5M Cable Float Switch is suitable for compatible:

  • Water Storage Tanks: Automatically monitor and control water levels.

  • Drainage Pumps: Control pump operation in suitable drainage systems.

  • Sump Pits: Activate or stop pumps according to water level.

  • Wastewater Systems: Monitor liquid levels in compatible wastewater applications.

  • Industrial Water Systems: Control liquid levels in turbulent water environments.

  • Pump Protection Systems: Help prevent pumps from running when water levels are too low.

  • Tank Filling Systems: Help prevent overfilling when correctly installed.

Important Installation Information

  • Correct Electrical Rating: The switch is rated for 10A resistive loads and 4A inductive loads. Pump motors are inductive loads, so confirm electrical compatibility before installation.

  • Cable Length: This model is supplied with a 0.5m cable. Ensure this is suitable for your installation.

  • Switching Configuration: The changeover contact can support different control arrangements depending on the wiring.

  • Maximum Pressure: Do not exceed the stated 10 bar maximum working pressure.

  • Float Movement: Allow sufficient clearance for the float to move freely.

  • Electrical Safety: Installation and wiring should be carried out by a suitably qualified person.

  • Pump Compatibility: Larger pump motors may require a suitable contactor rather than direct switching through the float.

Make Water Level Management Easier

Whether you're controlling a drainage pump, managing water levels in a tank or setting up a wastewater pumping system, the 0.5M Cable Float Switch provides a practical way to automate liquid-level control.

With its durable polyurethane housing, mechanical changeover switch and watertight electrical contact protection, it's designed for reliable operation in suitable water management applications.
