Series L007 Horizontal Mount Level Switches Series L312 & L500 Custom Level Switches
Compact, 1-6 Reed Switch Outputs

DESCRIPTION
The L312 series level switches are individually designed from over 360 component parts to create a custom switch available in lengths from one foot (304mm) to four feet (1.2m). Switch point tolerance is +/- 1/8" (3mm).

The L500 series level switches are individually designed from over 1,400 component parts to create a custom switch available in lengths from one foot (304mm) to 11 feet (3.3m). Switch point tolerance is +/- 1/8" (3mm).

To specify, review the choices in mounting types, stem material, float size and material, switching points, and electrical specifications. Fax or call us to review.

L312
L500
Each reed switch requires one float except in certain special applications (consult factory). For special applications, a single float can be used to activate two switch points, though these points must have a minimum separation of 1/4" (6 mm). The maximum number of actuation levels depends on the wiring type selected.

Ratings:
L312: 20 VA@120VAC SPST
          50VA@240 VAC SPST
L500: 20,50 or 100 VA@120 VAC SPDT
          50VA @240 VAC SPST
Connection: 24" Free Leads #22 AWG
Mounting Attitude: Vertical ±30°

ACTUATION LEVEL DIMENSIONS
A= Minimum distance from actuation point to bottom of mounting.
B= Minimum distance between actuation levels.
C= Minimum distance from end of unit to lowest actuation point.
D= Minimum distance between actuation point when a single float is used to actuate two switches.
Notes:
1) A, B, and C dimensions are based on a specific gravity of 1.0.
2) One float for two actuation levels can be used only with a 20VA switch.
3) Actuation levels are calibrated on descending fluid level, with water as the fluid, unless otherwise specified.
4) Standard tolerance on actuation levels is ±1/8" (3mm).
