The direction of the switch can be reversed by firstly removing the float, inverting the switch and re-fitting it to the stem.

Within the series there are 5 ranges:
RSF53 (black) - Nylon
RSF54 (opaque) - Polypropylene (WRAS approved)
RSF56 (grey) - Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS)
RSF57 (green) - Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)
RSF58 (white) - Polypropylene (UL approved)
Note - the different ranges feature other differences. Please refer to the Datasheet for more information on technical specifications.

What contact types are there?
The RSF50 float switches can be configured for N/O (Normally Open) or N/C (Normally Closed) operation.

What mounting thread does it have?
RSF50 float switches have either M12 or 1/8” NPT mounting thread. This is depicted by the last part of the part number. If it ends in “B” or “C”, it is an M12. If it ends in “1/8” it is 1/8” NPT.

Part numbers ending in '1/8' have a 1/8"NPT mounting thread
Part numbers ending in 'C' have an M12 mounting thread

The cable entry point must NOT under any circumstances be submerged.
On the Horizontal switches they must be fitted through the wall of a tank so that the cable is on the outside.
On the Vertical type the mounting thread and cable entry must be above the highest level of the liquid.

• Nitrile gasket offers reliable chemical resistance
• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +100°C for use in a variety of demanding environments

Vertical float switches like this one have a magnet in the float and a reed switch within the body of the unit. The float fits around the stem and rises or falls with the level of the liquid. When the float nears the reed switch, the magnetic force causes the switch to open or close.
