Description
The Side Mount Horizontal Water Level Sensor is a compact and reliable float switch sensor designed for accurate liquid level detection in tanks, reservoirs, and automation systems. This sensor automatically detects water levels by using a floating mechanism that activates or deactivates an internal switch when the liquid reaches a specific level.
Designed for horizontal side mounting, it is ideal for installations where top mounting is not practical. Its durable construction and simple two-wire connection make it perfect for water level monitoring, pump control systems, overflow protection, and automated liquid management applications.
Whether for industrial systems, home water tanks, aquariums, or DIY automation projects, this sensor provides dependable level detection with minimal maintenance.

How It Works
This sensor works using a magnetic reed switch and floating ring:
- As the liquid level rises or falls, the float moves accordingly
- The internal magnet triggers the reed switch
- The switch changes state (ON/OFF)
- This signal can control pumps, alarms, or automation systems
The float orientation can often be reversed to change between normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) operation.
