Description
MUSASINO CO.,LTS.
TYPE: FS-M3-1
FLOAT SWITCH
CONT.CAP: AC250V DC24V 15/2.5A
MAX.PRESS: 0.5MPA
The Musasino FS-M3-1 is a float switch designed for liquid level detection and control within marine environments. Operating across both AC and DC circuits — rated at AC250V/DC24V with a contact capacity of 15/2.5A and a maximum working pressure of 0.5MPa — this float switch provides reliable on/off switching based on fluid level changes. It is typically installed in tank monitoring, bilge, ballast, or liquid storage systems aboard commercial and working vessels, forming an integral part of the ship’s marine control system infrastructure. Accurate level detection at the switch level underpins safe tank management and automated pump control, making components of this type operationally critical.
Key Features
✓ Float-actuated level switching mechanism providing reliable open/close contact output in response to rising or falling liquid levels.
✓ Rated contact capacity of AC250V / DC24V at 15/2.5A, with a maximum allowable pressure of 0.5MPa — as stated on the original nameplate data.
✓ Suitable for integration into marine tank monitoring panels, pump control circuits, and automated liquid management systems typical of shipboard control installations.
✓ Designed for installation in wet or submerged-adjacent environments; mounting location and orientation should be confirmed against the original system drawing and tank configuration.
✓ Direct replacement consideration for vessels currently running Musasino level monitoring or control equipment; compatibility with specific panels or controller versions should be verified using nameplate data and system documentation before fitment.
Marine Applications
✓ Bilge level monitoring and automatic bilge pump activation aboard commercial cargo vessels, tankers, and offshore support vessels.
✓ Ballast tank level detection integrated into ballast water management and control systems.
✓ Fresh water, grey water, or fuel service tank level switching for automated replenishment or alarm triggering.
✓ Engine room sump and drain well monitoring where float-based level control is required for pump sequencing.
✓ General liquid level control within marine automation and tank gauging systems on ferries, fishing vessels, and workboats.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Musasino FS-M3-1 float switch is a proven, straightforward electromechanical level sensing solution. Its dual-voltage contact rating and defined pressure tolerance make it a dependable fit for the varied electrical environments found in shipboard control circuits, and sourcing an OEM-type replacement helps maintain system continuity without requiring panel-level reconfiguration.
Ideal For
Cargo ships, bulk carriers, tankers, offshore support vessels, ferries, fishing vessels, tugboats, and any commercial or working vessel operating Musasino-based tank monitoring or marine control system equipment.
Technical Support & Compliance
Remote troubleshooting guidance, installation advice, and commissioning support are available to assist engineers during replacement or retrofit of this float switch. Support for testing, system integration, and verification against existing control panel configurations can be arranged subject to confirmation. To confirm compatibility and ensure correct fitment, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, the original part number, system model and software version where applicable, relevant wiring diagrams or installation drawings, and vessel name or IMO number. All compatibility assessments are subject to confirmation based on the documentation provided.
