Float Switch - RLS-1000

Brand: WIKA Instruments Ltd.

The model RLS-1000 float switch has been developed for monitoring the level of liquids. The stainless steel used is suitable for a multitude of media, such as, for example, oil, water, diesel and refrigerants.
Features
  • Media compatibility: Oil, water, diesel, refrigerants and other liquids. 
  • Permissible medium temperature range: -30 to150 °C. 
  • (-22 to 302 °F). 
  • Up to 4 switching outputs freely definable as normally. 
  • open, normally closed or change-over contact. 
  • Potential-free switching reed contacts. 

Specifications

Measuring Principle

  • Potential-free switching reed contacts are triggered by a magnet in the float.

Guide Tube Length L

  • 60 ... 1,500 mm [2.5 ... 59 in], other lengths on request

Output Signal

  • Up to 4 switch points, depending on the electrical connection: SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4

Switching Function

  • Alternatively normally open (NO), normally closed (NC) or change-over (SPDT) contact - on rising level

Switch Position

  • Specified in mm, starting from the upper sealing face (SP1 ... SP4)
  • At the end of the guide tube ≈ 45 mm [≈ 1.8 in] cannot be used for switch positions.

Distance Between Switch Points

  • Minimum distance SP1 to the upper sealing face: 50 mm [2.0 in]
  • Minimum distance between the switch points:
  • 50 mm [2.0 in], for floats with outer ∅ = 44 mm [1.7 in], 52 mm [2.0 in]
  • 30 mm [1.2 in], for floats with outer ∅ = 25 mm [1.0 in], 30 mm [1.2 in]
  • Minimum distance with 3 switch points: 80 mm [3.1 in], either between SP1 and SP2 or SP2 and SP3
  • Minimum distance with 4 switch points: 80 mm [3.1 in], between SP2 and SP3

Switching Power

  • Normally closed: DC 100 V; 10 W; 0.5 A
  • Floats with outer ∅ = 44 mm [1.7 in], 52 mm [2.0 in]
  • Normally open: AC 230 V; 100 VA; 1 A; max. 100 Hz
  • Normally closed: DC 230 V; 50 W; 0.5 A
  • Change-over contact: AC 230 V; 40 VA; 1 A; max. 100 Hz, DC 230 V; 20 W; 0.5 A
  • Floats with outer ∅ = 25 mm [1.0 in], 30 mm [1.2 in]
  • Normally open: AC 100 V; 10 VA; 0.5 A; max. 100 Hz
  • Change-over contact: AC 100 V; 5 VA; 0.25 A; max. 100 Hz, DC 100 V; 5 W; 0.25 A
