COMPACT VERTICAL

LIQUID LEVEL SENSORS

VCS Series

High- or low-level switching

N.O. or N.C. SPST output

Can be mounted in the bottom or top of a tank

Certified reed switch (UL component listed)

Choice of several non-reactive wetted materials

18 different configurations available

The VCS series of point liquid level switches demonstrates a high

degree of reliability due to the use of non-reactive wetted

components and a unique reed switch designed specifically for

level sensing applications. The sensor utilizes a moving float with

an embedded magnet to activate a reed switch located in the

sensor stem. As the liquid level passes the sensor, the float

moves up or down on the stem giving a normally closed or

normally open switch indication.

The reliability of this sensor results from a very simple operating

principle, a single moving part, media compatible wetted materials,

and a unique reed switch design that has a UL recognized

component certification.

The sensor mounts into the top or bottom of a liquid storage tank

from the inside (internal fitting) using either a 1/8” NPT or M8 x

1.25 threaded fitting. The output is a simple N.O. or N.C. SPST

reed switch that utilizes Ruthenium contact points for reliability.

Changing from a N.O contact to a N.C. output is done by removing

the float, inverting it and re-attaching. This change can be done in

the field. Electrical outputs are a single pair of wires with PVC

insulation and optional lengths of 100 mm or 600 mm.
