1710 Side Mounted Level Switch

1710 is a horizontally oriented, float-operated level switch suitable for plant and OEM
applications where open or closed contacts are required to signal the presence or absence of
liquid at a discrete level. The float extension arm moves a magnet which actuates (de-actuates)
an electromechanical switching element.

The 1710 may be used on a wider variety of applications and process conditions than any other
single model of mechanical level switch currently offered by SOR®. The flexibility in this design is
critical to customers all over the world in a wide variety of industries.

 1710 Side Mounted
Level Switch Dimensions
The 1710 unit allows for a smaller installation foot print, making it more compact and economical
than most traditional vertical chambers. Although the 1710 is more compact, it provides the rugged
reliability customers have come to expect from SOR.
The design starts with a high pressure float counter-weighted with a magnet. The magnet is
coupled with another magnet inside the housing which is attached to the switching mechanism.
The key is that the two magnets are separated by a pressure retaining wall of non-magnetic
