Operation

A compact, self-contained ultrasonic liquid level switch with 316 stainless steel wetted parts and 240V switching capability. Squitch is a '2 wire' product that is; it requires only 2 electric connections, using standard instrument wire. Co-axial cable is not required. The squitch is connected in series with the load (contactor, starter, relay, etc) and acts as a simple switch, operated by liquid presence. Squitch may also be interfaced directly to a PLC using simple instrument cable. For this purpose, a PLC terminal is provided in the housing.

Squitch may be set on site with a selector to energise on either wet or dry. When squitch is "off" a small current of less than 4.5mA is drawn through a window in the end cover and will flash approximately once per second. When squitch is "on", the full load current (0.5A max.) flows, and the LED is on constantly. In this way there is an indication that squitch is "alive and well". Squitch may be installed in any position in the vessel.
