About this manual

The UQK6XXX series float (displacer) level switches are designed for high‑temperature and high‑pressure applications in industries such as petroleum, chemical, power, food and pharmaceutical. They use a magnetic coupling mechanism based on Archimedes' principle to detect liquid level changes and provide SPDT contact signals for control, alarm and safety interlock.

The manual covers the working principle, technical specifications, installation methods (top‑mount and side‑mount), wiring, operation, maintenance, and explosion‑proof requirements. It also includes service guarantee information and safety precautions for hazardous environments. This manual is written in Chinese.

Frequently asked questions

How does the UQK6XXX float level switch detect liquid level?

It works on Archimedes' buoyancy principle; the float moves with the liquid level, moving a magnetic sleeve that changes the magnetic field and drives the contacts to open or close.

What are the installation requirements for top‑mount versus side‑mount models?

For top‑mount, the float and steel cable must hang naturally without knots; for side‑mount, the body must be vertical to allow free movement of the float.

What explosion‑proof ratings does the UQK6XXX switch have?

The switch is available in explosion‑proof types ExdIICT1‑T6 (intrinsically safe) and ExiaIICT1‑T6 (intrinsically safe), suitable for hazardous areas.
