Description
The BLSK1 Bilge Level Switch System
gives
you all items and fittings necessary to install in
your bilge. Or, you can have only the parts you
want and you provide brackets, tubing and mount-
ing hardware.
Using the proven “Air Cell” actuating system, all
moving parts and switching are remote from bilge
liquids and are thus not affected by corrosion,
rust, etc. All wetted parts are of non-corrosive
materials.
As bilge level rises a column of air is captured in
the
MAC1
Air Volume Cell. The rising bilge
level compresses the column of air creating pres-
sure against the large diaphragm in the
BLS1
Bilge Level Switch and the switch trips. Switch
set point is adjustable.
The switch resets as the bilge is pumped out. Air
cell recharges itself during normal operation.
The BLS1
is constructed of materials not affected
by marine atmospheres; Aluminum or Bronze
body and cover, Buna-N diaphragm.
