This manual introduces the characteristics of Flowline's Switch-Tek™ vertical buoyancy liquid level switch LV10 series, including specifications, dimensions, safety precautions, installation methods, electrical connections, maintenance and warranty.
This manual provides instructions for the Flowline LV10 Series Vertical Buoyancy Liquid Level Switch. The device utilizes a float, magnet, and reed switch mechanism to detect liquid levels. When the probe is dry, the float rests on the bottom, keeping the reed switch inactive. As the probe immerses in liquid, buoyancy lifts the float, activating the switch.
