🧭 Active mini float switch made of stainless steel V2A

Logic output for electronics and automation solutions

The active mini float switch made of robust V2A stainless steel is the ideal solution for reliable level detection in electronic controls and industrial applications. Unlike conventional normally closed contacts, this switch generates a clean voltage signal (low/high) that can be directly evaluated by high-impedance logic inputs such as TTL or CMOS circuits.

💡 Important: This float switch is not suitable for Schabus water detectors , but for controls with logic inputs or individual evaluation electronics .


✅ Your benefits at a glance

  • Active switching output with voltage jump (0 V ↔ operating voltage)

  • Suitable for TTL or CMOS inputs

  • Maintenance- and wear-free thanks to reed technology

  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing (V2A)

  • Extremely durable at low switching currents (up to 1 trillion switching cycles)

  • Switching point at approx. 4 cm level

  • Switching principle changeover - no turning required

  • Easy installation – matching mounting bracket (Art. No. 300787) available


⚠️ Area of ​​application & function

The float switch is an active signal generator that generates a voltage change as soon as the liquid level reaches the defined switching point. The SHT 8080 uses the "changeover" switching principle, meaning that inverting the float is not necessary.

➡️ Ideal for :

  • Industrial plants with their own logic control

  • PLC systems with high-impedance inputs

  • Microcontroller boards (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.)

  • Visualization or alarm systems with logic input


🧠 What does “active” mean?

Active float switches generate their own electrical signal change when triggered—unlike passive reed switches, which only close the circuit. This makes them ideal for applications where clear voltage information is required.


🛠️ Assembly instructions

🔧 Tip: For secure attachment, simply order the appropriate mounting bracket (item no. 300787) at the same time!

🔌 What does “active float switch” mean?

An active float switch generates an electrical voltage signal upon contact with water - typically a change from 0V to the operating voltage. This makes it particularly suitable for controls with high-impedance logic inputs such as TTL or CMOS circuits.

⚠️ Can the float switch be connected to Schabus water detectors such as the SHT 5000?

No – this float switch is not compatible with the Schabus water detectors. It is intended for independent controls with logic inputs, not for the potential inputs of the water detectors.

🔄 How does the switching logic of the float switch work?

By default, the contact closes at a liquid level of approx. 4cm (Low → High). This float switch has the “changeover” switching principle – it is not necessary to turn the float body over.

How much current can the switch switch?

The switch is for very low switching currents designed – ideal for e.g. B. an LED with 11mA at 12V. The lower the current, the longer the lifespan (up to 1 trillion switchings at 5V/1mA).

🧠 What do I have to consider when connecting?

The float switch must be connected to a high impedance input be connected. The operating voltage (e.g. 5V or 12V) must be shared with the circuit. Do not switch any direct load!

💧 How is the switching point defined?

The contact closes (or opens when the float is turned) at a level of approximately 4cm.

🛠️ How is the float switch installed?

The optional is recommended for vertical installation Mounting bracket (item no. 300787). Alternatively, the float can also be attached to a pipe or holder using a suitable bushing.

🌧️ Is the cable waterproof?

That used LIYY cable according to the manufacturer is only waterproof for a short time. It is flame-retardant, self-extinguishing and resistant to many oils and coolants - but should be installed in a dry environment or in a protective pipe.

🧪 Is the float switch suitable for permanent humidity or underwater operation?

Yes – Float switches are designed for humid environments and use in liquids. The model made of V2A stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, reliable and maintenance-free. In contrast to sensors with open electrodes, there is no risk of electrolysis.

.

🔄 Does the float switch also detect distilled water?

Yes - because it is a mechanically operated switching contact the conductivity of the liquid is not important. The float works reliably in all media with a Density of at least 0.7g/cm³ – also with demineralized water or oily liquids.
