💧 Mini folding float switch – compact, precise & durable

SCHABUS's mini-folding float switches ("broken finger" type) are handcrafted and individually tested – for maximum quality and reliability in level monitoring.

They are maintenance-free , wear -free and are ideal for installation on the side of containers or tanks .

⚙️ Switching function selectable by rotation

The desired switching mode can be determined by simply turning the float 180° :

  • Normally open function (contact closes when the level rises)

  • Opener function (contact opens when the level rises)

Mounting is done on the side using a sealing sleeve . A firmly attached lock nut ensures a secure fit.

🔌 High-quality workmanship & molded technology

The 2.5 m long connection cable is soldered with a durable Meder reed contact and completely encapsulated with Wepuran® – for absolute water resistance and a long service life.

📏 Special cable lengths are available on request!

🧩 Typical areas of application

The mini folding float switch is ideal for monitoring water levels in:

  • Tanks & Cisterns

  • Wells & pump sumps

  • Containers of all kinds

  • Control or signaling applications in building services

⚙️ Technical note & connection

🔌 Connection to the following water detectors required (please order separately)
SHT 5000 or SHT 5001 or SHT 5002 from Elektrotechnik Schabus.
Cabling via thin, unshielded LiYY control cable (2 × 0.14 mm²) – max. 50 m cable length per scanner.

📏 Cable extension up to 50 meters possible
The factory-installed cable length can be extended up to 50 m . The recommended cross-section is 2 × 0.14 mm² .

⚠️ Notes on cable routing and area of ​​application
The LIYY cables used are only temporarily waterproof and, according to the manufacturer , are flame-retardant, low-adhesion, and self-extinguishing . They are resistant to oils, greases, coolants, and lubricants , but are not suitable for permanent water contact.

⚠️ Safety note: The LIYY cables must never be laid parallel to 230 V mains cables to avoid interference and safety risks.

[caption id="attachment_21251" align="alignleft" width="134"] Circuit diagram with freewheeling diode[/caption]

When using third-party power supplies , it is necessary to connect a freewheeling diode (e.g. 1N4148) in parallel to the relay or contactor.

The function of the freewheeling diode is to suppress voltage spikes that occur when the relay is turned off. This minimizes current flow and voltage, thus protecting the sensitive reed contacts.

WEEE NO.: DE91394868

Operating voltage max. 25 V AC / 60 V DC / 0.5 A
Switching capacity max. 10 watts
Functional area -20°C / +80°C max.
Protection class IP 67, cable only temporarily waterproof
Weight 0.07 kg
Line 2.5 m | 2×0.14mm2 | white
Assembly lateral, horizontal

🔄 How do I choose between opener and closer function?

By simplyTurn the float 180°During installation, you determine whether the contact is activated when the water level risescloseoropenThis makes the float switch particularly flexible.

🛠️ How is the float switch installed?

The installation takes placesideways into the containerabout aSealing sleeveA lock nut securely fixes the float switch in the desired position.

💧 Is the float switch waterproof?

Yes. The connection cable is equipped with awaterproof encapsulated reed contactThe casting is carried out withWepuran®for maximum protection in humid environments.

📏 Is the float switch also available with longer cables?

Yes. On request we produceindividual cable lengthssuitable for your application. By default, a2.5 m LiYY cableinstalled.

🔋 What electrical values ​​apply to the switching contact?

  • Switching capacity:max. 10 W
  • Tension:up to 25 V AC / 60 V DC
  • Electricity:up to 500 mA
    At very low currents (< 1 mA) evenup to 1 trillion switching operationspossible.

🧪 What is the float switch particularly suitable for?

ToLevel monitoring in liquid containersHow:

  • Tanks
  • Cisterns
  • Spring
  • Pump sumps
    It is ideal for applications wheresmall design,long service lifeandflexible switching modeare in demand.

🔥 What features does the connection cable have?

The usedLiYY control cableis according to the manufacturer:

  • temporarily waterproof
  • flame-retardant&self-extinguishing
  • low adhesion
  • resistant to oils, greases and coolants

 

💧 Are the cables waterproof?
The usedLIYY cables are only temporarily waterproofand not suitable for permanent water contact. For permanently damp or wet environments, we recommend special sensors.

⚙️ Do I need to use a freewheeling diode when connecting a third-party device?
Yes, absolutely! If you connect a third-party power supply (e.g. an external relay or contactor) to the potential-free output, aFreewheeling diode (e.g. 1N4148)connected in parallel to the coil. This protects the sensitive reed contacts from voltage spikes that occur during shutdown.

🔧 What does a freewheeling diode do at the relay output?
When a relay or contactor is switched off, high voltage peaks (induction voltage) occur for a short time.Freewheeling diodediverts these and thus prevents damage to the switching contacts of the water detector – particularly important for longevity and functional reliability.

❓ Why can't LIYY cables be laid parallel to 230 V mains cables?

⚠️ Important:The parallel laying of LIYY cables and 230 V mains cables can lead toInterference, electromagnetic influencesand in the worst case toSecurity risksPlease always maintain separate cable ducts or sufficient distance.
