Kari M type, S type and C type float switches

Click2Contact

A small Finnish company, Kari, services Australian organisations ranging from municipal water authorities to farming equipment OEMs. The company specialises in the design and manufacture of level sensing equipment.

The range includes three float families, each designed for a different set of conditions. The mini M Type float is suitable for narrow spaces and clean liquids. The standard S Type is a large and buoyant float for dirty, demanding or blackwater applications, even when build-up is possible. The general C Type suits applications that fall somewhere between these extremes, with a float designed to fit through tank nozzles as small as 100 mm.

The floats can offer multiple switch points, stand-alone pump control (emptying or filling) and even a combination of both - all from a single float. In doing so, they reduce the risk of tangles and may even lower the purchase and installation costs.

Each float switch is functionally tested before leaving the factory. Distributor Control Components holds units from each family, including models with gold-plated contacts for low-voltage, low-current applications (eg, PLC circuits). The range offers a choice of cable type and length, along with the capability to factory-customise floats to suit the user’s specific needs.
