Why Choose the Finder 72.B1.1.000.1501 IP68 Float Switch?
The Finder 72.B1.1.000.1501 is a rugged float switch from the 72 Series designed for reliable level control in black water and industrial wastewater environments. It features a fully rated IP68 enclosure and a long 15 metre cable, making it suitable for continuous submerged use in sumps, drainage tanks, pump chambers and treatment systems where dependable mechanical switching is essential. The triple-sealed float chamber offers resistance against solids, residues and contamination common in heavily soiled liquid environments.
The mechanical float actuates a single changeover (SPDT) contact for straightforward ON/OFF signalling. This makes the 72.B1.1.000.1501 ideal for pump start stop control, high and low level alarms and general level monitoring in industrial water management applications.
