Proper Usage The magnetic flow switches of the series FS13, FS14 and FS15 are designed to control the level of liquids which do not attack the device materials. All other usage is regarded as being improper and outside the scope of the device.
Functional Description The level switches model FS13, FS14 and FS15 work according to the magnetic float principle. The float is lifted upwards by the rising liquid level in the tank until the magnetic field of the integrated permanent magnet activates a Reed contact.
