A vertical level sensor, also called fluid sensor or float switch, is a mechanical device that monitors liquid levels inside a container. In typical applications, a vertical water level sensor is to trigger an action when the liquid reaches a certain level.
Vertical liquid level sensor are made up of two main components: a center tubed magnetic float and a reed switch. Both the float and the reed are operated by magnets. When the float reaches a predetermined level, the reed switch reacts by closing or opening.
