PROXIMITY paddle level switch 115 VAC 120V 5.25 in probe

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.
