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.
