WHEATON, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2013) - TouchSensor™ Technologies, a division of Methode Electronics, Inc. ( NYSE : MEI ), a global developer of custom engineered and application specific products and solutions, announced today the introduction of the LevelGuard^® Sewage-Rated Pump Switch . The LevelGuard^® Sewage Pump Switch offers pump and plumbing professionals a solid-state product for applications where effluent or sewage fluids need to be pumped from one location to another. The LevelGuard^® Sewage Pump Switch offers superior reliability without the need for moving parts or for direct contact with the fluids being pumped.

The LevelGuard^® Sewage Pump Switch is designed with the proprietary Field-Effect sensor technology that has been used in the recreational vehicle and marine industries for sewage tank monitoring since 2005, and in appliance, automotive, commercial and industrial applications for over a decade. LevelGuard^® Sewage Pump Switches are designed to replace traditional float and electromechanical type switches used to actuate sewage pit, lift station, irrigation, underground vault, wet-well and storm water pumps.

The LevelGuard^® Sewage Pump Switches are:

UL listed Sewage designation
Rated for up to 1/2 hp pump applications
Highly resistant to effluent solids and contaminants
Fabricated from rugged materials and components
Tested to over 1.5 million cycles without failure
Warranted for five years against manufacturer's defects

The new model features added software intelligence to protect property owners from external failure modes, such as contamination build-up and pump run-on, as well as provides 30 amp over-current electrical fuse protection for added safety. The new LevelGuard^® (SKU Z24803PTZ) is available with a 15-foot cord that uses a piggy-back plug.

The LevelGuard^® pump switch utilizes TouchSensor's patented Field-Effect sensor technology to detect water at two upper-level and one lower-level switch points. The unit is protected by a fully encapsulated housing and is easily mounted to the sump pit's ejector pipe. Both LevelGuard and the patented Field-Effect sensing technology are Underwriters Laboratories listed. Please visit LevelGuardProducts.com to learn more.
