2. Design and function
2.1 Functional description
Float switches with external chamber work on the oat principle with
magnetic transmission. A reed contact integrated in the guide tube
is actuated through the magnetic eld of a permanent magnet, when a
preset switch point is reached.The permanent magnet is located within
a oat , which changes its height with the level of the medium it is
monitoring.The switching status of the reed contact can be evaluated
and processed by a connected control device.
