Miniature Float Level Switch

Miniature Float Level Switch

Product Overview

The VSAN Miniature Float Level Switch is a compact, economical, and highly reliable point level sensing device designed to detect the presence or absence of liquids in small tanks, reservoirs, vessels, pipelines, and process equipment. Despite its compact size, the switch provides accurate and dependable liquid level detection, making it an ideal solution for OEM equipment, compact process systems, laboratory equipment, and industrial automation applications where installation space is limited.

The Miniature Float Level Switch operates using the magnetic float and reed switch principle, providing a simple yet highly effective method of liquid level detection. A lightweight float containing a permanent magnet moves with the liquid level, activating an internal hermetically sealed reed switch at a predetermined level. This contact-free magnetic operation ensures long mechanical life, high switching reliability, and maintenance-free performance.

The VSAN Miniature Float Level Switch is suitable for monitoring a wide range of liquids including water, purified water, RO water, diesel, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, coolants, chemicals, solvents, edible oils, fuel oils, and other compatible liquids. It is designed for both conductive and non-conductive liquids and is available with various float materials to suit different process conditions.

Manufactured using high-quality materials such as SS304, SS316, SS316L Stainless Steel, Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), Nylon, and Engineering Plastics, the switch offers excellent resistance to corrosion, moisture, pressure, and chemicals. Depending on the application, it is available in Vertical Mount, Horizontal Mount, Side Mount, and Custom Mounting Configurations.

The switch provides Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC), or Changeover (SPDT) contact outputs, allowing easy integration with PLC, DCS, SCADA Systems, Relay Panels, Pump Controllers, Alarm Systems, Solenoid Valves, and Industrial Automation Equipment.

Its compact design allows installation in tanks with limited space while maintaining excellent switching accuracy and repeatability. The switch requires no external power supply for operation and can directly control low-current electrical circuits or interface with control relays for larger loads.

The VSAN Miniature Float Level Switch features a rugged IP65/IP67-rated enclosure (model dependent), ensuring reliable operation under harsh industrial conditions. Explosion-proof versions and high-temperature models are also available for specialized industrial applications.

The transmitter is widely used in Water Treatment Systems, RO Plants, Chemical Dosing Units, Pharmaceutical Equipment, Food & Beverage Processing, Medical Equipment, Diesel Generator (DG) Sets, Compressors, Hydraulic Systems, Coolant Reservoirs, HVAC Equipment, Industrial Machinery, OEM Equipment, Laboratory Instruments, Marine Applications, and Industrial Automation Systems, where compact and reliable point level detection is required.

With its miniature design, rugged construction, reliable switching performance, and maintenance-free operation, the VSAN Miniature Float Level Switch offers a cost-effective and dependable solution for liquid level monitoring and automatic control.

Working Principle

The VSAN Miniature Float Level Switch operates on the Magnetic Reed Switch Principle.

A compact float containing a permanent magnet is installed on the guide stem of the level switch. As the liquid level rises or falls, the float moves vertically or horizontally with the liquid surface.

When the float reaches the preset switching position, the magnetic field activates the hermetically sealed reed switch located inside the stem. The reed switch changes its electrical contact state (Normally Open or Normally Closed), generating a switching signal.

This signal is transmitted to connected devices such as PLC, DCS, SCADA systems, pump controllers, relay panels, alarms, or solenoid valves, enabling automatic level control, pump operation, overflow prevention, or dry-run protection.

As the liquid level changes, the float moves away from the switching point, and the reed switch returns to its original position, allowing continuous and reliable level monitoring.

This simple non-contact magnetic operation ensures excellent repeatability, long service life, and maintenance-free performance.
