L-40N Liquid Level Switches
Description
Side and Top Mount
Corrosion Resistant Plastic with Optional Metal Pivot Pin
- Noryl Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO) is suitable for acid and base solutions, pure water, process water, sea water, filtered sewage, contaminated groundwater. Noryl is not suitable for use in hydrocarbons, petroleum, alcohol and related chemicals.
- The wetted surface of Model L-40 is entirely of Noryl (PPO) except for a small float support Pivot Pin.
- Float support pivot pin is supplied in a variety of materials i.e. 316 Stainless Steel, Hastelloy C-276, Titanium, Tantalum and Teflon to meet special chemical and operations environments.
- 10 times less sensitive from deposit and build-up of contaminants than sliding float models.
- Each unit can be supplied with a special made to order 1-1/4″ x 1/4″ x 1/2″ reducer bushing for through wall mounting.
- Output wire can be twisted pair 22 gauge or two conductor PVC heavy wall instrument cable.
- STANDARD – SPST reed switch for 120/240 VAC 50 Watt power or DC dry circuit for computer/PLC interface.

Dry Circuit Operating
Switch can interface with microprocessor based controllers and related dry circuits.
Inductive Loads
Switch contacts have been tested with inductive relay and 30 amp motor contactor drive coils at 120 VAC and 240 VAC to 500,000 operations without failure. Maximum allowable volt amp (VA) rating of relay operating coil — 8.0 VA or less.
Installation Dimensions
NOTE: Model L-40 employs magnetic coupling between float arm and switch body. Magnetic particles can accumulate on and around magnetic housing which may affect proper operation. Please conduct appropriate fluid magnetic particle evaluation and operational tests prior to and during installation and use.
