LEVEL SWITCHES MAGNETIC COUPLING LEVEL SWITCHES GENERAL DESCRIPTION

NIVOMAG MK-200 series magnetic float level switches are used for point level detection and level control of liquids in all types of vessels. Operation principle: the permanent magnet of the float activates the output microswitch by a non-contact coupling system. The great variety of both the top and side mounted versions makes it easy to install the switch in any tank at any location. For the simplest level switching you can select models with fixed hysteresis, while for level control application we offer NIVOMAG switches with adjustable hysteresis. Models with rubber or silicon sleeves can be applied for contaminated liquids. You can fit the NIVOMAG switch with an MMK type tester, to check the switching function even when the liquid levels arent changing.

MAIN FEATURES
Magnetic coupling between the switch and the float Operation w/o external power supply Side or top mounted versions Underwater version Fixed or variable hysteresis Max. 250C medium temperature Explosion proof version IP 65/68 protection

TYPE SELECTION
To assist in the selection of the correct model the following tables and diagrams are provided. When selecting a model due consideration must be given to liquid density, mounting position and process connection and to determine if there is a need for adjustable or fixed hysteresis or a rubber sleeve.
