INTRODUCTION
About Switch Pak™ Powered Level Switches: This manual contains information on all four series of powered
level switches; Vibration (LZ12 series), Ultrasonic (LU10 series), Optic Leak (LO10 series) and SuperGuard
Capacitance (LP15 series). The switches all feature two outputs: 1) a 4 or 20 mA current switch and 2) a 60VA
SPST dry contact relay. All four series are manufactured with thermoplastics, including the cable, making
them submersible in design and ideal for corrosive applications. Package the switches with either Flowline
controllers (LC10 or LC40 series) or interface directly to another controller or PLC.
