Liquid Displacer Level Switches

Displacer level switches for

single or multiple pump control / level alarm
DESCRIPTION
Magnetrol's displacement type level switches offer the
industrial user a wide choice of alarm and control
configurations. Each unit utilizes a simple buoyancy
principle and is well suited for simple or complex
applications, such as foaming or surging liquids or
agitated fluids, and usually costs less than other
types of level switches.

F E AT U R E S
• Narrow or wide level ranges achieved through multiple
switch mechanism capability

Proof-er® controls
The purpose of the Proof-er® is to check the operation of a

EXPEDITE SHIP PLAN (ESP)

Several models are available for quick shipment, within max. 4 weeks after factory receipt of purchase order, through the
Expedite Ship Plan (ESP).
Models covered by ESP service are conveniently colour coded in the selection data charts.
To take advantage of ESP, simply match the colour coded model number codes (standard dimensions apply).
ESP service may not apply to orders of ten units or more. Contact your local representative for lead times on larger volume
orders, as well as other products and options.
