Level Switch – Model L-21

Wide Differential Level Switch

The L-21 is a low cost, high performance level switch made from highly durable plastics. It features a variable liquid level differential and a single point pump up/pump down level control.

The L-21 Level Switch can be ordered with level differentials of 1, 2, 3 or 5 inches.  The L-21+ can be ordered with level differentials from 12 to 48 inches.  The L-21’s large differential provides immunity to nuisance switch tripping due to wave action and turbulence.  The large differential also provides very low cost single point pump-up/pump-down level control.  No latching relay needed!

Maintenance and checkout is easy using any standard multimeter.   Each unit comes with a detailed instruction manual and parts list.
