LS-240-3E – Bilge Water Type Level Switch

This bilge level switch has an extremely robust construction. It is perfectly suitable for applications on ships and wherever heavy mechanical loads occur.

The LS-240-3E has been accepted by the Germanischer Lloyd, among others, and approved for application by the German Navy.

Principle

When the magnetic field of permanent magnet inside the float is moved into to the proximity of the reed switch inside the stationary stem, the reed switch contacts “snap” together and closes the electrical circuit. When the magnetic field is moved away from the reed switch, the reed switch contacts move apart and the circuit is opened.
