SSF217XPM12, Sensata / Cynergy3 Cynergy3 SSF217 Series Horizontal Stainless Steel Float Switch, Float, NO/NC, 300V ac Max, 300V dc Max

Cynergy3 SSF211 and SSF212 Horizontal Float Switches

From Cynergy3, the SSF211 series and SSF212 series are horizontal float switches. They operate in liquids with Specific Gravity (SG) of 0.8 or above. These float switches are constructed from a reed switch and pivoted actuator magnet. SSF211 and SSF212 switches feature an N/C (normally closed) contact.

SSF211 float switches are designed for horizontal mounting within a tank. They are only suitable for applications where you have suitable access to the inside of the tank so that you can fit them. SSF212 float switches can be mounted from outside the tank and do not require access.

Features & Benefits

• While supplied with an N/O contact, you can easily configure this to N/C (normally closed) by inverting the switch by 180° when you mount it. Instead of the float moving in a downwards direction as standard, it would move in an upwards direction away from the main body of the switch.
• These float switches feature a compact design at only 47 mm long.
• The stem is constructed from SS304 stainless steel while the float is made from SS316 stainless steel. This ensures that these limit switches are suitable for use in the most rugged environments.
• All SSF211 float switches are fitted with a 1 m long 17/0.10 (AWG22) cable. They can be fitted internally via a 1/8” BSP thread.
• SSF212 float switches are fitted with a 1 m long 17/0.10 (AWG22) cable, plug and socket or M12 socket. This varies by model. They can be externally fitted via a 1/2” NPT thread.

Sensata Cynergy3 Horizontal Float Switch, 1/2 BSP, M12 - SSF217 Series - SSF217XPM12

Need to monitor liquid levels in your tank? This Sensata Cynergy3 float switch sensor can help you avoid overflow when filling up, and alert you to low water levels when emptying. The floatation component sits on the liquid surface and causes the switch to activate when the liquid rises or falls. This device has a compact design and is made from robust and durable stainless steel.

Features & Benefits

• Convenient external fitting via 1/2" BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread
• Maximum operating temperature of +120°C for use in challenging environments
• User-configurable to NO (normally open) on rise and NC (normally closed) on fall
• Mounts horizontally on the side of your tank, so suitable for when the top and bottom are inaccessible

When is this switch commonly used?

This float switch is often used with water pumps. It can provide automatic level control of groundwater, wastewater and sewage and can help to avoid hazardous overspill. It can also be used with liquid-transfer pumps at waterworks and as a high-water alarm to warn of rising levels.
