VFS 118 Compact Side Mounted Float Sensor for Water Level Detection

The VFS 118 Compact Side Mounted Float Sensor by Vachan® is a reliable and space-saving liquid level sensing solution designed for accurate water level monitoring in tanks, RO systems, industrial equipment, and water treatment applications. Its compact side-mounted configuration makes it ideal for installations where internal tank space is limited while ensuring dependable liquid level detection.

The sensor operates using a magnetic reed switch mechanism, where the polypropylene float moves with the liquid level to activate or deactivate the internal reed switch. This simple yet highly reliable switching principle provides precise level sensing with minimal wear, ensuring long-term operational stability. Designed with a normally open (NO) contact configuration, the VFS 118 can easily integrate with automatic water level controllers, pump control panels, PLC systems, and industrial automation equipment.

Constructed from high-quality polypropylene, both the housing and float offer excellent resistance to corrosion, moisture, and commonly encountered water treatment chemicals. The integrated blue PVC cable provides a secure electrical connection, while the leak-proof threaded mounting design ensures safe installation without water leakage. Its lightweight construction reduces mechanical stress and contributes to consistent switching performance throughout its service life.

The VFS 118 is widely used in overhead tanks, underground sumps, RO purification systems, industrial process tanks, cooling water systems, water treatment plants, and liquid storage vessels. Its compact dimensions, corrosion-resistant materials, maintenance-free operation, and dependable switching performance make it an excellent choice for OEM manufacturers, panel builders, and water automation professionals seeking a durable and efficient side-mounted float sensor for precise liquid level control.
