Controlmatica Er1-1448 Level Switch

What is a Level Switch?

A level switch is an electromechanical device that detects the liquid, powder, or granular solid level of a tank or container. It will send notification to control systems or alarms when the set level is attained—high or low. This will make sure equipment operates correctly and safely, avoiding overflows, dry runs, or system failure.

About the Controlmatica ER1-1448
