Magnetic Level Sensor

Operating Principle

  • The magnetic level sensor uses a float containing a magnet that moves with the liquid level.

  • Inside a guide tube, magnetic contacts (reed switches) or Hall effect sensors detect the float’s position.

  • This detection allows monitoring the water level and generating an electrical signal corresponding to one or multiple thresholds.

Typical Features

  • Type: single point (one threshold) or multiple points (several levels).

  • Measuring range: from a few centimeters to several meters, depending on tube and float size.

  • Materials: stainless steel, plastic (PVC, PP) for corrosion and water resistance.

  • Mounting: vertical in a tube or fixed to the tank wall.

  • Output: dry contacts ON/OFF, digital signal, sometimes compatible with PLCs or alarm systems.

  • Power supply: usually passive (reed switch) or low voltage for Hall effect sensors.

Advantages in Aquaculture

  • Accurate and reliable for detecting multiple levels in a pond or tank.

  • Robust: little affected by bubbles, foam, or turbulence.

  • Economical and easy to install compared to complex electronic sensors.

  • Enables automation of pumps, valves, or alarms based on water level.
