Gems Sensors Horizontal, Vertical Float Switch with 1 m Cable, Relay Output 011-1700

Gems Sensors 011-1700 Horizontal, Vertical Float Switch features a durable brass and nitrile butadiene rubber housing suitable for broad chemical compatibility in general purpose industrial applications.

This float switch is ideal for monitoring liquid level in tanks and vessels containing water, oils, and various chemicals. Its relay output with SPST contact allows either normally open or normally closed operation, which can be reversed by mounting orientation of the float.

The device operates at ambient temperatures between -40°C and 80°C, supporting operating pressures up to 10 bar and immersion depths up to 9 mm. The mounting thread is a standard G1/8, facilitating easy fitting on tanks or pipelines.

Key installation notes include keeping the cable entry point unsubmerged and mounting horizontal switches so that the cable remains outside the tank, and vertical mounts having the thread and cable entry above liquid level to prevent damage.

This float switch carries CE certification and IP64 rating for ingress protection, making it suitable for harsh industrial and manufacturing environments, HVAC systems, water treatment, and automation control systems.

Suitable for horizontal and vertical mounting applications. Robust brass and nitrile butadiene rubber housing enhances chemical resistance. Operates reliably between -40°C and 80°C ambient temperature. Supports operating pressure up to 10 bar for industrial fluid control.

Equipped with standard G1/8 mounting thread for easy installation. Offers SPST relay switch output with reversible float orientation. Requires that cable entry point remains unsubmerged for longevity. IP64 rated protection ensures water and dust resistance.

Designed for use with oils, water, and various chemicals with minimum liquid specific gravity of 0.45.

Use this Float Switch in industrial automation, laboratory instrumentation, water and wastewater management, HVAC systems, and manufacturing process control. Its versatility makes it a valuable component for liquid level monitoring and safety shutoffs.
