Flotect Series L4 Liquid
Level Float Switch |
| Protects
Against High or Low Liquid Level. Magnetically Operated Switch-Leak
Proof Body. |
|  Compact, rugged
and reliable, the Model L4 Float Switch uses the time-tested
Model V4 Flotect Switch body to provide dependable liquid
level control to start or stop pumps, open or close valves
- or actuate alarm signals. Installed in thousands of tanks
and processing plants around the world, this unique magnetically
actuated switching design gives superior performance. There
are no bellows, springs, or seals to fail. Installed through
a 1 1/2" threadolet welded to tank, the unit is easily
field installed or replaced. The electrical assembly may
be quickly replaced without removing the switch from the
tank. Float arm hinge design limits the arm angle to prevent
vertical hangup. Float is 316 stainless steel for service
with compatible corrosive fluids. For use in fluids with
specific gravity down to 0.7. Larger Image of Switches | See Dimensions
Features include: Simplicity of design and a leak proof switch
body, machined from bar stock for pressures to 2000 PSIG,
(140kg/cm2), it eliminates the possibility of process fluids
entering the switch compartment. The threaded conduit enclosure
cover permits easy inspection or replacement of electrical
assembly without shutting down the system, or removing electrical
conduit. Power must be disconnected. The unit fits directly
into tank with a threadolet or flange for easy installation.
All units are explosion-proof and listed with UL. and C.S.A.
for Class I, Groups C and D, Class II, Groups E, F and G or
are flame-proof to CENELEC/SAA EExd IIB T6.
 The L4 Float Switch maintains predetermined liquid levels in tanks through direct pump control. Also used to control sump levels, scrubber system liquid levels and automatic tank dump operations. Controls levels or provides alarms for hydro-pneumatic tanks, low pressure boilers and various waste water and sewage treatment processes. With a special L-shaped float arm, it can be mounted vertically in tank top for tank overflow or alarm.
