Explosion-proof paddle level switch
The PROXIMITY paddle level switch monitors liquid levels in hazardous environments using a 5.25 in probe and SPDT contacts rated at 5 A. It operates on a 115 VAC supply with a 120 V power requirement and mounts via a 1-1/4 in NPT process connection. The enclosure is certified explosionproof for industrial safety.
Sustained operation in hazardous areas
The explosionproof enclosure contains any internal ignition so the switch survives continuous exposure to flammable vapours without becoming a source. SPDT contacts rated at 5 A handle repeated actuation cycles under full load without welding or excessive bounce. A 115 VAC coil remains stable during long duty periods when voltage stays within the 120 V specification.
Replaces non-rated or worn level controls
Upgrade from standard paddle switches that lack explosionproof certification when the area classification changes or the original seal fails. The jump is worth it when insurance or code requires a listed enclosure and a 5 A SPDT output for direct alarm or pump duty. Buyers who need a different probe length, voltage or contact rating cannot use this model.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 115 VAC paddle switch draw when it runs continuously?
The unit operates on a 120 V supply and its SPDT contacts are rated for 5 A, so the maximum load it can switch is 5 A at that voltage.
What process fitting must already be on the tank for the 5.25 in probe to install?
A 1-1/4 in. NPT threaded opening is required; the switch screws directly into that fitting and the paddle is included in the box.
Will the explosion-proof enclosure interfere with older non-hazardous wiring in the same conduit?
The enclosure is rated explosionproof for hazardous locations, but the switch itself is a standard SPDT contact that works with existing 120 V control circuits.
