Tuffy® II Liquid Level Controls with Electric Switches D E S C R I P T I O N The Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switches are float-actuated devices designed for horizontal mounting in a tank or vessel through threaded or flanged pipe connections. The compact size allows for installation in small vessels, while its many features provide a variety of application uses. The single switch mechanism is available in SPDT or DPDT forms on units designed for fixed or adjustable, narrow or wide differential and interface service levels. This sales literature covers TUFFY II level switches that have electric switches. For TUFFY with a pneumatic switch, see bulletin 44-109. T E C H N O L O G Y The TUFFY II achieves switching action through the use of a magnetic switch mechanism and a magnet attached to the float assembly. Separating the two magnets is a non-magnetic pressure barrier. As the liquid level changes, the float, and therefore the float magnet, moves. The float and switch magnets repel each other causing movement of the switch magnet assembly, tripping the switch and making or breaking an electrical circuit.
