Description

PDF

This is a water level sensor holder with a magnetic base, with adjustable height. The sensor itself is supposed to be lowered into a hole of a liquid container. We use it to check for coolant level in a container for a CNC machine when filling up said container. The sensor/switch is connected to a loud siren that starts blaring quite loudly when the coolant level gets too high, so we don't accidently overfill the container (which definitely NEVER happened several times in the past)

1x 52mm PP Liquid Water Level Sensor Horizontal Float Switch (ie. from Aliexpress)
