Why Choose the Lovato LVFSA1D03 Float Switch?
The Lovato LVFSA1D03 is a float switch for drinking-water applications, designed to provide dependable liquid-level control in tanks, reservoirs and water-storage systems. Part of the Lovato level-control range, it provides a simple electromechanical method of controlling pumps, valves or associated control equipment according to the liquid level.
This version is supplied with a 3 m cable, providing flexibility when positioning the float within a compatible tank or vessel. As the water level rises or falls, the floating body changes position and operates its internal changeover contact, allowing the control function to be configured for either filling or emptying applications.
The LVFSA1D03 is specifically intended for drinking water, making it suitable for potable-water storage and level-control installations where an appropriate float switch is required. Its suspended cable design allows straightforward installation without requiring probes or electrodes to be permanently mounted at multiple levels inside the vessel.
Key Advantages
- Specifically designed for drinking-water level control.
- Supplied with a practical 3 m cable.
- Provides automatic switching according to rising or falling liquid level.
- Suitable for filling and emptying control arrangements.
- Changeover contact provides flexibility when configuring the control circuit.
- Simple suspended installation for tanks and reservoirs.
- Ideal for controlling compatible pumps, contactors, relays and valves.
Key Features
- Lovato LVFSA series float switch.
- Designed for drinking water.
- 3 m connection cable.
- Electromechanical liquid-level switching.
- 1 changeover contact.
- Suitable for automatic filling or emptying control.
- Cable-suspended float construction.
- Designed for tank and reservoir level-control applications.
Simple Automatic Level Control for Water Systems
A float switch detects liquid level through the movement of a buoyant switching body. As the water level changes, the float changes orientation and operates its internal electrical contact. This switching signal can then be incorporated into a control circuit to start or stop a pump, operate a valve or provide another level-dependent control function.
Because the Lovato LVFSA1D03 uses a 3 m flexible cable, its switching position can be established according to the installation requirements and the required difference between upper and lower water levels. Correct positioning and electrical connection allow the float switch to be used for either automatic tank filling or emptying control.
Typical Applications
- Drinking-water storage tanks.
- Potable-water reservoirs.
- Automatic water-pump control.
- Tank filling and emptying systems.
- Water supply and distribution installations.
- Level control for compatible potable-water systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lovato LVFSA1D03 used for?
The LVFSA1D03 is a float switch for drinking water, designed to detect liquid level and provide a switching signal for compatible filling, emptying and pump-control systems.
How long is the cable on the LVFSA1D03?
The Lovato LVFSA1D03 is supplied with a 3 m cable.
Is the LVFSA1D03 suitable for drinking water?
Yes. The LVFSA1D03 is specifically designed by Lovato for drinking-water applications.
Can the LVFSA1D03 be used for both filling and emptying control?
Yes. The float switch can be incorporated into compatible control circuits for filling or emptying applications, depending on its electrical connection and installation arrangement.
How does the Lovato LVFSA1D03 detect water level?
The floating body moves as the water level rises or falls. This movement operates the internal contact, providing an electrical switching signal according to the float position.
Can the LVFSA1D03 control a pump?
Yes. The LVFSA1D03 can provide a level-dependent switching signal for a compatible pump-control circuit, either directly where the electrical ratings permit or through suitable control equipment such as a relay or contactor.
