 Float Switches Model NSM, NSP

Application Model Summary

Liquid levels can be easily monitored with the following float Model NSM
switch types. Reasonably-priced design
Level control schemes can be implemented with at least two Material: polypropylene
floats, whereby one operates as minimum contactor, and Contact: microswitch
theother as maximum contactor. The switches are suited for Cable: Neoprene, silicone
applications where magnetic level switches are unsuitable Max. temperature: 95 °C
due to the danger of the float jamming with dirt particles or Max. pressure: 3 bar
deposits. Model NSP
Depending on the shape of the float and the material used, Ball or cylinder shape
extremely aggressive, hot, soiled or pasty media can also be Material: polypropylene
monitored with float switches. Contact: microswitch
Cable: TPK, silicone, FEP
Max. temperature: 85 °C
Max. pressure: 2 bar

 Level Switches for Liquids Model NEC

Description
The KOBOLD level switches of model NEC have been de-
veloped for level monitoring of liquids and for direct pump
control for all industrial applications.
The float is supplied with a mechanical microswitch with very
large switching capacity.
The NEC comprises a stable plastic housing made of poly-
propylene with a total of five cavities sealed back-to-back.
The instruments are thus practically unsinkable even when
physically damaged.
The level switches are available in following basic designs:
OO NEC-930: polypropylene float with mechanical contact,
5 m Hypalon® cable
OO NEC-HY930: float hypalon coated for aggressive media
with mechanical contact, 5 m Hypalon® cable
OO NEC-930N10: polypropylene float, with mechanical
contact, 10 m Hypalon® cable

Technical Details Dimensions [mm]

Float: Double cone
Float material
(standard model): Polypropylene (PP)
Float material
