  • Features and Benefits

    Variable Level Control Switches

    • Float is constructed of durable PVC/polypropylene encasing variable level switch
    • Standard mechanical variable level control switches
    • Temperature rating of 140° F (60° C)
    • 18/2 type SJOW CPE cord standard
    • Long cords are available in 15′, 25′, 35′ and 50′ (5 m, 8 m, 11 m and 15 m)
    • Pipe clamp or adjustable weight mounting types
    • Low current switches, 30 VDC/.1 amps, for Class I, Division 1, Group C & D locations when used in intrinsically-safe circuits
    • Approximately 1/2″ (50 mm) liquid level differential in switching action

    Variable level control switch is normally open when hanging vertically above liquid level. Switch closes when it reaches a few degrees above the horizontal position. Applications:

    • Switch for simplex or duplex pump control and high level alarm on electrical alternating control panel systems for dewatering, effluent and sewage applications
    • Switch for A-Pak
    • High level alarm switch

    SWITCH-MATE PIGGYBACK VARIABLE LEVEL FLOAT SWITCH (VLFS)

    • Converts nonautomatic pump to automatic pump
    • Simple installation
    • Adjustable/variable level
    • Standard 15′ (5 m) and 20′ (6 m) SJOW CPE cord with molded plug
    • Float is constructed of durable PVC/polypropylene encasing variable level switch
    • Standard – normally open (NO) ‘pumps down’
    • Maximum operating temperature for 10-0748: 120° F (49° C), all other switches: 140° F (60° C)
    • Float is omnidirectional (no ‘up’ side)
    • Includes mounting clamp
    • Designed for effluent, sewage and dewatering applications
    • For use in 18″ (46 cm) minimum diameter basins
    • 10-0748: 25′ (8 m) cord standard, no molded plug – can be used as a control switch to operate an external magnetic or combination starter on three phase pumps
    • Use recommendation chart for switch selection*Mercury products are not approved for sale in: ACA, CT, ME, RI. Effective 1/1/07-VT; 7/1/07-IL; 5/1/09-MA similar restrictions will apply. Please review latest IMERC notification for additional information.

    Variable Level Control Switches

    For use with weighted floats.

    Float switch brackets are available to be mounted on a wall or access frame, or they may be bolted or welded to a rail system.

    Pump lifting cables are available for the following:

    • 6680 series pumps
    • 71 and X71 series grinders
    • 69 HD and X69 HD series pumps

    Consult factory for other configurations.
