LevelGuard® Liquid Level Pump Switch Sensor
LevelGuard® Liquid Level Pump Switch Sensor CHALLENGE Methode was asked to develop a more reliable way to prevent basement ooding due to the inaccuracies and failures of standard oat switches, commonly used in residential sump pumps. SOLUTION Methode's team designed a sensor switch that uses eld-e ect technology to monitor uid levels within residential sump and sewage pits. LevelGuard® is a software free, solid state pump switch that turns your sump or sewage pump on and o . The eld-e ect of a touch cell detects any conductive mass (water) entering or changing the eld and activates the pump evacuating the water from the pit. The eld-e ect sensor emanates through any dielectric substrate such as glass or plastic. Field-e ect touch cells can be easily integrated in any kind of applica
