Tilt float switches are the perfect solution for reliable and affordable level detection in large open vessels, water tanks, reservoirs, sumps, and ponds. The molded rubber float has an integrated three-conductor cable and operates on a micro-switch device that is located inside the float on an anti-vibration mount. The basic operating principle is that as the fluid level rises the float will rise, causing the micro-switch to tilt and generate a signal that can be used to start or stop a pump, open or close a valve, or actuate indicator alarms as required.
