Thank you for choosing a NIVELCO instrument.

1. APPLICATION
We are sure that you will be satisfied throughout its use.
NIVOMAG
The NIVOMAG MK-200 series magnetic float level switches are used for level point detection of liquids in all type of
vessels.
Operation without external power, side or top mounting, wide temperature ranges, various process connections, stainless
steel wetted parts and Ex versions make it applicable in the industrial chemistry, pharmacy, petrol industry etc. Permanent
magnet operated by the movement of a float will activate an other magnet inside the switching enclosure. This second
magnet operates a special switch. So the movement of float is transferred to the potted switch through separated magnetic
coupling ensuring the requirements of the wet process and Ex application. Special balancing construction and various
accessories (see figures of DIMENSIONS) give wide range of possibility of the installation.
