Mini Float Switch, Plastic Changeover Contact

Mini Float Switch Plastic Changeover Contact

From a level of just 4 cm, your Schabus water detector knows what’s going on – whether it’s water, heating oil, diesel, vegetable oil, or lubricant. The mini float switch is made entirely of PP plastic, the reed contact is soldered and watertight cast with Wepuran®. No corrosion, no moving mechanical parts, a service life of decades – all in a thumb-sized housing.

The changeover contact (normally open + normally closed) makes it the perfect addition to the SHT 5000, 5001, and 5002: whether as an overflow alarm, dry-run protection, filling or draining control – it can handle it all. 2.5 m cable (extendable up to 50 m), easy installation using the proven mounting bracket Art. 300787. Ideal for narrow shafts, small tanks, or anywhere space is limited.

This float is the unsung hero in thousands of cisterns, heating oil tanks, sump pits, and industrial facilities. Once installed, it simply does its job – for years, silently, and without ever needing attention again.
