Float Alarm

Liquid Level Float Alarm is designed to provide warning indication and alarm when a water or waste storage tank is full. Housed in a robust polycarbonate enclosure, the alarm features audible and visual alarms and a keypad interface with status indicator lights and alarm mute button.  Ideal for use in applications where the water being discharged from an ablution must be pumped away, the Valve Shut-Off version features an output for a pulse latching solenoid valve, shutting off water supply when the outfall tank is too full, to prevent overflowing.

Features & Specifications
Features:

  • High level alarm – When the first float switch closes, the alarms will activate to warn of rising level in the tank/pit
  • Valve shut-off – If the water level continues to rise and the second float switch closes, the alarms will activate and the controller will pulse close the valve, ensuring no further mains water is used, to prevent the level in the outfall tank from rising further.
  • Power failure – In the event of mains power failure, the valve will be pulse closed
  • Alarm reset – The alarm can be configured to auto reset, allowing normal operation to resume once the high level has cleared, or latching, requiring manual reset before operation can resume
  • Auto-silencing alarm – If not muted, the buzzer will silence after 5 minutes (this feature can be disabled if a continuous alarm is required)
