With an IP68 fully sealed waterproof design, it supports long-term submerged outdoor operation and resists extreme weather erosion. Available in standard specifications and fully customizable structures, the FH-405 perfectly solves unstable monitoring problems of ordinary sensors in sanitation cleaning equipment, farm irrigation facilities and special fluid storage tanks, realizing reliable automatic liquid level control all year round.

Product Features
Full Stainless Steel Heavy-Duty Structure
The whole body adopts integrated 304/316 stainless steel structure, featuring strong impact resistance, compression resistance and deformation resistance. It avoids aging, cracking and corrosion problems of plastic float switches, and can withstand long-term outdoor wind, rain and sun exposure, perfectly adapting to harsh open-air working environments of sanitation and agricultural facilities.
Excellent Corrosion & Fouling Resistance
The polished smooth stainless steel surface effectively prevents sludge, algae and suspended impurities from adhering, solving the common jamming and failure problems of ordinary float switches in turbid sewage and farm irrigation water. It resists weak acid and weak alkali liquid corrosion, adapting to diverse special fluid monitoring scenarios.
Wide Environmental Adaptability & Weather Resistance
With ultra-wide temperature resistance and IP68 full waterproof grade, the sensor operates stably in low-temperature frost, high-temperature heat and humid outdoor environments. It has strong anti-interference ability against water flow impact and equipment vibration, ensuring consistent detection accuracy in complex field working conditions.
Wear-Free Operation & Ultra-Long Service Life
Adopting non-contact magnetic induction triggering with no mechanical friction and wear, it supports millions of stable switching cycles. It requires no frequent cleaning and daily maintenance, greatly reducing manual inspection and replacement costs for outdoor sanitation and agricultural equipment.
Working Principle
The FH-405 stainless steel float level switch operates based on liquid buoyancy and magnetic coupling induction principle. The all-metal equipment consists of a fixed stainless steel probe rod and a movable stainless steel magnetic float. Installed vertically in sanitation sewage tanks, agricultural irrigation pools and special liquid storage equipment, the float floats on the liquid surface and moves up and down synchronously with liquid level fluctuations. When the liquid level rises to the preset high limit, the built-in permanent magnet of the float triggers the internal high-sensitivity reed switch to close the circuit, realizing automatic water stop or drainage start. When the liquid level drops to the preset low limit, magnetic induction fails, the switch resets to disconnect the circuit, completing automatic water replenishment or equipment shutdown. This cyclic automatic control realizes unmanned intelligent management of liquid level in outdoor and special scenarios.

Application Fields
The FH-405 stainless steel float level switch is uniquely optimized for sanitation, agriculture and special harsh scenarios, perfectly matching outdoor, dusty and turbid liquid working conditions that ordinary plastic sensors cannot adapt to. In the sanitation industry, it is widely used for garbage truck water tanks, sewage cleaning vehicles, municipal rainwater sumps, and sanitation sewage storage pools for automatic drainage and water level alarm. In agricultural scenarios, it applies to farmland irrigation reservoirs, aquaculture water pools, agricultural water tower replenishment, and greenhouse water circulation systems to stabilize irrigation water supply. In special scenarios, it is suitable for outdoor unattended water storage equipment, marine auxiliary water tanks, and low-corrosive industrial special liquid containers, providing durable and reliable full-time liquid level monitoring and automatic control for various harsh environments.

Installation Method
The FH-405 stainless steel float level switch adoptsvertical top fixed installation as the standard solution, featuring firm fixation, strong shock resistance and no loose deviation in outdoor vibrating environments. Before installation, confirm the high and low liquid level control points according to on-site equipment demands, reserve standard threaded mounting holes on the top of water tanks, pools or equipment. Vertically insert the stainless steel probe into the liquid storage equipment, and fasten it with matching stainless steel gaskets and nuts to ensure overall tightness and waterproof performance. Ensure the stainless steel float moves up and down freely without collision or jamming with tank walls and internal impurities. Complete wiring according to on-site control circuit standards, and test the liquid level triggering sensitivity and equipment linkage effect. It also supports customized side installation, suspension installation and bracket fixing to adapt to special-shaped equipment and limited outdoor installation spaces.
