Expedite ship plan Many Tuffy switches are available for quick shipment, usually within one week after factory receipt of purchase order, through the Expedite Ship Plan (ESP). The most popular models and options covered by ESP service are conveniently color coded below. To take advantage of ESP, simply match color coded model number codes and options; standard dimensions apply. Contact your local representative for lead times on other options and additional products. Selection data Part number construction Tuffy switches are identified by a ten digit numeric part number system comprised of five distinct components. A definition of each component is given at the right. The part number provides exact specifications of unit configuration, materials of construction, and other options vital to the performance and function of the instrument. 1 action mounting 039-0 0-2 Agency approval 3 type 4 Housing 5 Specific gravity 1 action 4 Housing Electric 5 Pneumatic 6 ➀➁ ➀ Available with agency approval code 0 only. ➁ Available with housing code 0 only. 2 Agency approval FM/CSA 0 CENELEC 1 Carbon steel, 3 /4" NPT (316 SS for Pneumatic units) 0 316 Stainless steel, 3 /4" NPT 1 Carbon steel, M20 x 1.5, CENELEC only 2 5 Specific gravity 0.60 minimum 0 0.40 minimum 4 3 type Electric Rating Max.

Principle of operation Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the simple rol operating principle. ing action is obtained through the use of a magnet which is attached to a float and a switching mechanism. These two basic component assemblies are separated by a non-magnetic, pressure tight barrier.
