1 Introduction
Series FS00 float level switches are noted for their reliable function and easy operation. To
obtain the greatest benefit from this device, please observe the following cautionary statement:
Persons who are responsible for setting up or operating this device must be sure to read
the and understand the operating instructions and the safety information pertaining to
it.
2 Safety Information
2.1 General Instructions
To ensure safe operation, the device must only be operated according to the information in the
operating instructions.When the device is in use, the regulations and safety standards
applicable to the specific application must also be observed. This statement also applies to the
use of accessories.
2.2 Proper Usage
Series FS00 float level switches are used for monitor the level of liquid media.
Any application extending beyond this specific intended use does not constitute proper usage.
Series FS00 float level switches must not be employed as the sole means of avoiding
hazardous conditions in machinery and installations.
The machinery and installations must be designed in such a manner that faulty conditions and
malfunctions will not present hazardous situations for operating personnel.
2.3 Qualified Personnel
Series FS00 float level switches must only be used by qualified, knowledgeable personnel
trained in correct use of these devices. Qualified personnel are those persons familiar with
setting up and assembling these devices, placing them in service and operating them. In
addition, such personnel must also be qualified to perform the work associated with the
application for which the device is being used.

3 Functional Description
The FS00 float switch functions according to the general principle describing the buoyancy of
floating bodies. A hollow float is raised by the rising liquid until it reaches an angle of 45°
from horizontal, where a switching action takes place. The FS00 consists of a float made of
polypropylene with a water-proof, position-dependent electromechanical microswitch. The
floats in this series are fitted with cables made of various materials and of varying lengths.
4 Installation
The switch can be attached with screws to the side of a container. In the case of an open
container, it can be suspended in the container from above. The switching point can be set by
moving the optional weights.

Description:
The float level switches FS00 work according to the lift
principle.
A hollow float is raised by the rising liquid until it reaches an
angle of 45 from horizontal when switching takes place. The
mercury free float switch can be mounted to the tank or
container via a through hole such as a 1/2" cable gland or
from the tank top. The switch point is defined by manipulating
placement of an optional ballast weight on the connecting
cable or by inserting cable through a tube of the desired
length.
The FS00 level switch consists of a polypropylene housing
with an integrated watertight and position dependent
electromechanical microswitch. Cable connections from
different materials and in different lengths may be chosen to
suit the medium and tank dimensions.
Typical applications:
The FS00 float level switches are compatible to virtually all
liquid media which do not affect the materials of the switch or
cable. The unit is absolutely independent from the pollution of
the medium. The FS00 may be used as MIN, MAX monitor, to
control valves or pumps or as an alarm switch.
