PLS Series Plastic Level Switches
The Levelpro PLS Series compact level switches combine low cost and reliability with fast, simple installation. The all plastic level switches contain an hermetically sealed reed switch that is actuated by magnets that are permanently bonded inside the float. They can be easily adapted to open or close a circuit based on the rising or falling of the liquid level. The switch action can be reversed by removing the float, rotating it end-for-end and replacing it on the stem. Vertical models mount internally, oriented within 45° of vertical, or select optional fittings for external mounting. Switch ratings are suitable for many solidstate control systems and small monitors or alarms. Simple relay interfaces can be used for higher current applications such as pumps and on-off valve actuators.

- What is a Radar Level Sensor?
A liquid level sensor operates by detecting the presence or absence of material or determining the level of material
within a container. This is achieved using various technologies like capacitance, ultrasonic waves, or, as in the case of
radar, by measuring the time taken for a signal to bounce back from the material surface. Level sensing can be contact
or non-contact-based, depending on the method employed. A radar level sensor is a device used to measure the level of
liquids, solids, or slurries in various challenging industrial applications. It utilizes radar technology to determine the
distance from the sensor to the surface of the material being measured.
