Why Choose the Finder 72.B1.1.000.2001 IP68 Float Switch?
The Finder 72.B1.1.000.2001 is a heavy-duty float switch from the 72 Series designed for level control in demanding black water, industrial wastewater and contaminated liquid environments. It features a robust IP68 rating for continuous submerged service and a long 20 metre cable, making it suitable for use in deep sumps, drainage basins, pump stations and industrial water management applications where reliable mechanical switching is essential.
The device incorporates a triple-sealed float chamber for enhanced resistance against suspended solids, residues and heavy contamination, and actuates a single changeover (SPDT) contact to provide straightforward ON/OFF signalling for pump control, high level alarms and low level protection. Its polypropylene construction ensures durability in harsh wastewater conditions with minimal maintenance.

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 it suitable for black water and heavily contaminated wastewater environments.
Can it be used for pump control?
Yes. The changeover contact enables pump start/stop signalling and is suitable for integration with relays or contactors for larger loads.
How do I set the switching level?
The switching point is determined by the float movement relative to the counterweight position on the cable, ensuring unobstructed travel.
What liquids can this switch handle?
It is suitable for black water, industrial wastewater and heavily contaminated liquids where standard float switches may be affected by solids or residues.
