Mini float switch
The Kari Float Switch is a control device for filling and discharging pumps, motor and magnetic valves. It is also an alarm device at certain pre-determined surface levels. FIMKO Oy (The Finnish Electrical lnspectorate), has performed the tests according to the all-European CCA-agreement and approved the Kari Float Switch for use in non-flammable liquids at 250 Volts. In dangerous enviroments (e.g. wells and pumping stations ) we recommend 24 V voltage. In potentially explosive atmospheres (e.g. oil tanks ) the Kari Float Switch can be used in connection with (Ex)i-isolator switch units. Due to its large float casing the Kari Float Switch has a buoyancy which guarantees smooth, trouble-free operation under all conditions.

MINI FLOAT SWITCH
The Kari Mini Float Switch is a control device for filling and discharging pumps, motor and magnetic valves. lt is also an alarm device at certain pre-determined surface levels.
The Kari Mini Float Switch is approved for use in non-flammable liquids at 250 Volts.For its small size (diameter 76 mm) the Kari Mini Float Switch can be used in narrow places.
STANDARD MINI FLOAT SWITCH (diameter 76 mm) TYPES
The Kari Float Switch (or Mini Float Switch) is simply placed in the liquid so that the float follows the movement of the surface. The switching height differential is adjusted by moving the weight along the cable. The differential is on minimum, when the weight is nearest to the float. Complete instructions including a wiring diagram accompany every Kari Float Switch. These are also separately available on request. If the viscosity of the liquid is high, we recommend an extra weight on the cable. We supply suitable auxiliary weights.
Weights are tightened onto the cable with a wedge.
WHEN ORDERING, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
SHOULD BE GIVEN
- type as per above or special requirements - cable length if more than 5 meters - height difference between upper and lower levels if smaller than 250 mm or greater than 1200 m (min. 50 mm , max 2000 mm, but not available in the same float)
