Description:
The ZPC5 side mounted float switch sensor offers a reliable and compact solution for liquid level detection in tanks and containers. Designed with a horizontal orientation, the sensor mounts externally via an M16 thread, simplifying installation without compromising tank integrity. Its normally closed contact configuration ensures dependable switching for automation and alarm systems.
Built from high-quality polypropylene, this plastic side mounted float sensor is ideal for use in water, oils, and mild chemical applications. Additionally, it supports up to 10W switching capacity, making it suitable for a variety of low-power control circuits, including pump control systems and liquid level alarms. Its small form factor and high chemical resistance make it a versatile choice for both industrial and domestic applications.
Not only does the horizontal float switch ZPC5 function accurately in side-entry installations, but it can also be installed in either normally open or normally closed configurations by inverting the float. Therefore, it adapts easily to a range of system requirements. The ZPC5 side mounted float switch sensor is a cost-effective solution for maintaining liquid levels without the complexity of electronic sensing technologies.
Furthermore, thanks to its IP68-rated sealed construction, the side float level sensor ZPC5 performs reliably even in submersible or splash-prone environments. Whether used as a float switch for pump control or as a safety shutoff in tanks, this sensor delivers dependable, maintenance-free operation.
