Dwyer PLS2 Grain Level Switch

Dwyer PLS2 Paddle Level Switch is an electromechanical level switch designed for level monitoring of bulk materials such as grain or dry powder. A rotating vane runs freely in air, but activates a switch to indicate product when impeded.  The motor is a brushless synchronous motor, with a steady 1rpm rotation of low power consumption (4W mains, or 2.5W dc supply version).  Dwyer PLS2 comes as standard with a 1-1/4″ male NPT connection and unit can be side or top mounted.
