Level switch Karlik 29DWP-1, gold finish, AC 250 V, 10 A, IP20/IP44

Karlik 29DWP-1 is a level switch engineered to detect and control liquid levels in residential and light-commercial electrical installations. It has a gold-coloured finish and is rated for AC 250 V with a nominal switching current of 10 A. The device provides protection classes IP20 for standard indoor mounting and IP44 for installations requiring protection against splashing water when used with the appropriate sealant. Typical applications include pump control, tank monitoring and liquid level safety interlocks.

Advantages

The switch combines compact design with straightforward electrical characteristics suitable for switching AC loads up to 10 A at 250 V. The gold finish offers a consistent aesthetic with decorative switch lines. Dual protection ratings allow selection for plain indoor use (IP20) or for damp and protected environments (IP44) when the compatible sealant is applied. The product is compatible with DECO series accessories, including optional illuminated modules, enabling visual indication when required.

Suitable for

• Pump control in domestic or small-scale installations
• Monitoring and controlling liquid levels in tanks and sumps
• Safety interlocks for appliances that depend on liquid-level status
• Retrofit or new installations where a decorative gold finish is preferred

Key specifications

• Rated voltage: AC 250 V
• Nominal switching current: 10 A
• Protection ratings: IP20 (standard); IP44 when used with appropriate sealant
• Finish: gold-coloured
• Form factor: decorative switch series compatible

How to use

Install the level switch in accordance with local electrical codes and manufacturer mounting recommendations. Connect the device to the control circuit of a pump or alarm system, ensuring the supply is de-energised during wiring. For installations exposed to splashing or higher humidity, fit the compatible sealant to obtain IP44 protection before finalizing the mounting. If visual indication is required, install a compatible DECO light module into the switch following its specific instructions. Verify correct operation by filling or draining the monitored vessel and observing the switch action under load.

Usage recommendations

Use the switch only within its rated voltage and current limits (AC 250 V, 10 A). For damp environments, always apply the approved sealant to achieve IP44 protection. When driving inductive loads such as pumps, consider using suitable protection (e.g., contactors or RC snubbers) to extend contact life. Follow national wiring regulations and, if unsure, consult a qualified electrician for installation and commissioning.
