Controllers/Float Operated Controllers/Pneumatic Level Switch/

Pneumatic Level Switch

Pneumatic Level Switches can be used as either a high level or low level switch in a pressurized vessel, sending a pneumatic signal which can be used to actuate a control valve open or closed.

This switch is field-reversible from direct acting to indirect acting, so it can be used in conjunction with a fail-open or fail-closed control valve.
