their operation involves a float which is built specifically for the level application for which it is applied. The float is
contained in a chamber which connects directly to the process to be measured. As the liquid level increases and
decreases in the chamber, the float rises and falls with the liquid level. This float contains a magnet assembly. The
force or flux of the magnet assembly contained in the float affects a visual indicator mounted outside of and
isolated from the float chamber. This same magnetic force can also affect optional switches or transmitters
mounted outside of the chamber.
