Switches for monitoring very low liquid levels

M Series
Ultra-Low-Level Switch Designs

When very low liquid levels (0.19" to 0.31") need to be monitored, a reed switch device can be used. Madison Company’s array of ultra-low-level floats are offered in several standard level switch designs.

The liquid level switch configuration can feature plastic or metal stems for the ultra-low-level floats to ride on. In the case of multi-level switches, the low level indication can be as much as 0.57" lower than a typical barrel float design.

Ultra-low-level floats are available in Kynar for high-purity applications, PBT or Buna-N for hydrocarbon liquids and FDA-approved polypropylene for food applications and general-purpose liquids.

With this unique ultra-low-level monitoring ability, these switches make more efficient use of high-cost liquids, and an early indication of liquid presence can be attained.

Features:
Lowest reed switch liquid level indication available
Requires 0.19" to 0.31" of liquid to become buoyant
Efficient use of tank capacity
Can provide early alarm
