2. Design and function

2.1 Functional description

Float switches 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.

The number and arrangement of oats is dependent on the number of

the dened switch points, their contact function and also the distance

between the switch points.
