    The BLS 9200 bilge level switch is a stainless steel, fully submersible switch designed to be installed in ship bilges and tanks to detect liquid levels. It has a sealed reed switch potted in epoxy inside corrosion-resistant casing. It also has a manual test lever to check operation. The switch is durable and tolerant of harsh conditions. Proper suppression is needed when connecting the switch to protect it from excessive power or arcing that could damage the contacts over time.

    BILGE LEVEL SWITCH

    BLS 9200

    The Bilge Switch Model BLS 9200 is designed to be installed in ships bilges and tanks, industrial
    sumps and tanks where it would be bolted in situ at the required alarm level. This switch is corrosion
    resistant stainless steel fully submersible construction with an hermetically sealed SPDT reed switch
    potted in epoxy. This switch is also designed with a manual lift test mechanism to be used to check
    switch operation.

    The BLS 9200 is very durable and designed to tolerate harsh conditions.

    Important notes:
    Attempting to put excessive power through the bilge switch will irreparably damage the reed switch internals.

    1. If the power rating of the switch is greatly exceeded, the contacts will become permanently
    welded together.
    2. If the switch is allowed to arc (spark) as it opens or closes the plated contacts will fail over time.
    [ the greater the arc - the more rapidly failure will occur]

    Do not be misled by the resistive ratings of the switches. Most applications involve inductive loads and many low
    wattage loads are often high inductance devices.
    Switches ratings are quoted for a resistive load. Suppression is very important to protect the switch.

    Lamp loads
    Incandescent lamp loads can be very destructive to reed switch applications.
    These type of loads have a 6-10 times the normal operating current when first energised [inrush].

    ARC suppression

    For a DC circuit – a one amp diode placed in parallel with the load will suppress the arc. Select a diode with a
    voltage rating of at least three times [3x] or more of that of the circuit rating. Connect diode cathode to positive.

    For a AC circuit - a capacitor and resistor fitted in parallel with the switch. Use a 0.1µf 400-600V capacitor
    and a 50 to 100 ohm ¼ watt resistor in series with the capacitor.
