O Series
Optical Liquid Level Detection Switches

Madison Company offers an extensive line of standard optical single-point liquid level detection switches for use in non-coating liquids. Click here for an overview of the entire Optical switch line.

These compact optical switches incorporate a phototransistor that provides a digital output indicating the presence or absence of liquid. The sensor tip houses the phototransistor in a form that provides highly reliable and repeatable performance in compact designs.

Housings are offered in both metal and plastic with various mounting configurations. When you choose from the extensive list of our standard part numbers, Madison can provide you with a very cost-effective solution to those level indication applications where high reliability, ease of installation and maintenance-free performance are desired.

Please click here for the O Series Specification Sheet. This sheet can be used to define your unique optical switch requirements and application needs. By sending this to Madison Company, a custom-engineered design may be quoted.
