Level Switch – Model L-8

Adjustable Level Switch for Specific Gravity

SPECIFIC GRAVITY COMPENSATING.

Featuring continuously adjustable float buoyancy control to allow use in fluids with specific gravity down to 0.6.

Continuous buoyancy control allows switch activation at oil/water interface.

May be used in hazardous areas when used with intrinsically safe relays.

Consult factory for other dual-component fluid interface systems.
