Tilt Float Switch Product Description
Global Water’s WA150 Tilt Float Switch is an
inexpensive, efficient and highly reliable level
detector for open vessels, sumps and ponds. The Tilt
Float Switch's molded rubber float has an integral three
conductor cable and operates on a micro-switch device
that is located inside the rubber float on an
anti-vibration mount. The WA150 Tilt Float Switch
includes an adjustable cable weight, which allows it to
be suspended from a convenient location above the water
rather than having to tie it off at your desired
actuation point. The Tilt Float Switch's rubber float
is constructed of EPDM, a synthetic rubber with rigid
and durable characteristics for long service life and
resistance to heat, oxidation, ozone and aging due to
weather. As a non-polar elastomer, EPDM has good
electrical resistivity, as well as resistance to polar
solvents such as water, acids, alkalies, phosphate
esters and many ketones and alcohols.
The WA150 Tilt Float Switch's basic operating
principle is that as the fluid level rises the rubber
float will rise, causing the micro-switch to tilt and
generate a signal that can be used to operate a motor
starter, open or close a valve or actuate indicator
alarms as required. The Tilt Float Switch's 3-lead
cable allows operation on increasing level or decreasing
level. One lead is common, one is normally open (NO),
the other is normally closed (NC).
Tilt Float Switch Installation Notes
There are no specific installation concerns for the
WA150 Tilt Float Switch. However, the Tilt Float
Switch's lead cable should be supported in an enclosed
tank. Additionally, in an open tank, sump, or pond, it
is advantageous to clip the Tilt Float Switch's lead
cable to the side, especially if excessive turbulence is
experienced (a nylon cable-tie is included).
To alleviate the effects of rapid switching
conditions if such turbulence is expected, it is
recommended that a maintaining circuit be used to both
safeguard the Tilt Float Switch's micro-switch and cut
out any chatter from the starters of associated
equipment, such as pumps.
An optional stabilizing weight and rubber "O" ring
are included with the WA150 Tilt Float Switch. This may
be installed at any point on the Tilt Float Switch's
lead cable.
