72.A1.1.000.2001 Finder 72 Series IP68 20m Grey and wastewater Float Switch
MPN: 72A110002001
Alt. SKU: 72.A1.1.000.2001
Why Choose the Finder 72.A1.1.000.2001 IP68 Float Switch?
The Finder 72.A1.1.000.2001 is a dependable float switch from the 72 Series, engineered for level control in grey water, drainage and general wastewater applications. With a robust IP68 rating and a long 20 metre polychloroprene cable, it is ideal for submerged use in sumps, tanks, reservoirs and pump chambers where reliable mechanical switching is essential.
The mechanical float activates a single changeover (SPDT) contact to deliver straightforward ON/OFF signalling for pump start/stop control, high level alarms and low level protection. This robust design requires no electronic probes, making it suited to industrial and building services environments where simplicity and durability matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IP68 mean for this float switch?
IP68 indicates complete protection against dust ingress and suitability for continuous immersion when installed according to manufacturer guidelines.
Can this switch be used for pump start/stop control?
Yes. The changeover contact enables reliable pump control and can drive relays or contactors for larger loads.
How do I set the switching level?
The switching point is determined by the float travel relative to the counterweight on the cable; ensure unobstructed movement.
What liquids can this switch handle?
It is suitable for grey water, drainage and other compatible non-aggressive liquids commonly found in wastewater and plant room environments.
