Technology
A single float is attached to a stainless steel rod, which is installed through the top of the tank. Internal to the rod is a series of reed switches designed to open and close as the float changes with the liq­uid level. The internal magnets within the float will open or close the reed switches in a “2-3-2 at-a-time” sequence, which enables the transmitter to provide accurate level indication. With every move­ment of the float, either one additional switch closes or opens.
