Why Choose the Finder 72.B1.1.000.1001 IP68 Float Switch?
The Finder 72.B1.1.000.1001 is a robust float switch from the 72 Series engineered for reliable level control in black water and industrial wastewater applications. Featuring a rugged IP68 rating and a long 10 metre polychloroprene cable, this switch is designed for continuous submerged use in heavily soiled sumps, drainage tanks, pump stations and industrial water treatment environments where dependable mechanical switching is crucial.
The triple-sealed float chamber and polypropylene construction deliver enhanced resistance to solids, suspended residues and contamination. A single changeover (SPDT) contact provides straightforward ON/OFF signalling for pump start/stop control, high and low level alarms or general level monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IP68 mean for this float switch?
IP68 indicates full protection against dust and water ingress and suitability for continuous submerged use when installed according to manufacturer guidelines.
Is this switch suitable for black water?
Yes. The triple-sealed float chamber and polypropylene construction make this switch suitable for black water and heavily contaminated wastewater environments.
Can it be used for pump control?
Yes. The changeover contact enables reliable pump start/stop signalling and can be used with relays or contactors for larger loads.
How is the switching level set?
The switching point is determined by the float movement relative to the counterweight position on the cable, ensuring clear travel free from obstructions.
What liquids can this switch handle?
It is suitable for black water, industrial wastewater and other contaminated liquids where standard float switches may be affected by solids or residues.
