The performance and design of the float switch meet the requirement of original equipment manufacturers for reliable as well as economical components. In addition to the standard version, design-in solutions are also possible: The model RLS-7000/8000 can be adapted to the respective application through customisation of designs, tank connections and electrical connections. The switch can be installed vertically (RSL-7000) or horizontally (RSL-8000). Its switching function, normally open or normally closed, can be reversed by rotating the float body (RLS-7000) or the complete instrument (RLS-8000) through 180°.

The new float switch has been designed for a long service life. The instrument is available in a variety of robust and chemically resistant plastics with very low water absorption. Its reed contacts provide up to a billion switching cycles, depending on the application.
