• Cable Specifi cations
Single level switches (high or low alarm) are not supplied with weights. All
multiple level switches are supplied with standard weights. Heavier weights
may be needed if there is a danger of caking, thick crusts developing and/or
the liquid is very dense and viscous. Alternative weights available are:
Standard: Type A (black) 3/4 lb.
Special: Type B (red) 1-1/2 lb.
Type C (grey) 2-1/2 lb.
Standard units have heavy duty cables with PVC covering. Typical diameters
of the cables are:
2-Wires (1L, M1L, 2L, M2L, etc.): 0.25 in.
3-Wires (3L, 3H, etc.): 0.27 in.
4-Wires (4L, 4H, etc.): 0.31 in.
5-Wires (4L5E, 4H5E, etc.): 0.34 in.
(Dimensions may vary ±10%)
An integral cable, without splices, or greater length than the standard 16 feet
may be needed for some situations and this can be supplied by special order.
It is not possible to modify the cable length (nor repair damaged cables) on
existing units. Once the cable is outside the liquid, it can, however, be easily
extended through a waterproof junction box or liquid tight connector.
