Overview Gladiator Conductivity Switch Series General Description The Gladiator Smart Conductivity Switch is a third generation, state-of-the-art level probe, designed to operate in tough industrial environments. The probe of the Conductivity Switch forms one part of an electric circuit, with the vessel wall or a reference probe making another part. A conductive liquid between the probe and the vessel wall (or between the probe and the reference probe) links the two parts of the circuit and the output will switch in response.
Typical Applications Gladiator Conductivity Switch Series Non-metallic Tank Sump pump control > < Non-metallic Tank *Mounting must be electrically connected to tank wall for a High level switch in water tank single rod probe to work. Dual probe will work without electrical connection.

Mounting Gladiator Conductivity Switch Series Probes can be mounted from the top, D. Top mounting side and bottom. When top mounting, ensure adequate clearance is provided between probe and wall. Avoid creating a Points to consider when mounting: confined area where material could build-up over A.
Dimensions Gladiator Conductivity Switch Series Mounting Probes can be mounted from above or from the side. Use a protection plate for side mounting where the probe may be subject to impact damage. Install the Probe far enough away from the vessel wall to prevent the probe from coming into contact with the wall, and prevent conductive build-up from bridging the probe to the wall over time.
