Questions

Question

The catalog page for the CFS2 level switches states, "Optional cables available include those with drinking water suitability." Which cable should I specify for use in a drinking water application?

Answer

Our cables that are compatible with drinking water must be purchased in quantities of 1000pcs. The cables we carry in stock that have a minimum order quantity of 1 pc are not drinking water approved.

Question

The datasheet for CFS2 level switch only shows electrical rating assuming 125VAC or 250VAC. Can this type of switch be used with 24V DC power low current application (DI of PLC)? What is current range for 24V DC?

Answer

Unfortunately, the CFS2 series is not DC rated. It can only be used with AC voltage.
