Bilge Float Switch - RLS-5000
Brand: WIKA Alexander Wiegand SE & Co. KGThe model RLS-5000 bilge float switch is used for the monitoring of limit levels in shipbuilding (e.g. in bilge water tanks) and industrial applications.
The robust stainless steel case and the durable marine cable outlet protect the float system even under high mechanical loading, e.g. due to flotsam such as sticks and pieces of wood.
Inside the stainless steel case, a permanent magnet built into the float triggers, with its magnetic field, the potential-free reed contact built into the pipe.
Features- Robust stainless steel case to protect against mechanical damage.
- Durable and resistant marine cable.
- With manual test device (optional).
