Description
The RotaFox® MLS 10 rotary
paddle switch is a universal level
switch. The sensor and the
switching device form a single unit.
The rotary paddle is driven by a
synchronous motor via a reduction
gear. When the free rotation of the
paddle is impeded by material
covering the paddle, a microswitch
operates to generate an alarm
switching signal. Power to the
motor is then disconnected by a
second microswitch.
RotaFox® MLS 10 features a voltagefree
contact which switches when
the limit value is reached. The contact
transmits the signal to external
devices, such as electric flaps or
sliders, pumps, visual or audible
alarm units (e.g. alarm lamp or
horn).
When the level drops the paddle is
released and the motor will re-start
again and rotate the paddle.
