Float Level Sensor
Operating Principle
-
A float (usually plastic or stainless steel) rests on the water surface or follows its movement.
-
When the water level rises or falls, the float activates an electrical contact (switch, reed switch, or magnet).
-
This signal allows the detection of a threshold level (high, low, or intermediate).
Typical Features
-
Type: single point (one switching level) or multiple points (several detection levels).
-
Materials: plastic (PVC, PP) for freshwater, stainless steel for seawater or corrosive environments.
-
Mounting: vertical (in a tube) or horizontal (fixed to a tank wall).
-
Output: dry contact (ON/OFF), sometimes connectable to a PLC or alarm system.
-
Power supply: most do not require power as they work as passive switches.
Advantages in Aquaculture
-
Robust and economical: no complex electronic components.
-
Ideal for safety: prevents overflow or low water levels.
-
Easy to install: little affected by bubbles, foam, or turbulence.
-
Can be used to automatically control a pump or valve.
