Water level switch H-TRONIC WPS 1000 1114420 IP68 10A

H-TRONIC WPS 1000 is a submersible water level switch with IP68 protection and a rated switching capacity of 10 A. The device is designed to detect liquid levels and to actuate pumps, valves or alarm systems automatically. Its sealed construction enables continuous submerged operation for reliable level monitoring in domestic and light industrial environments, providing straightforward integration into drainage, sump and tank systems.

Advantages

The sealed IP68 enclosure ensures dust-tight and long-term waterproof performance, allowing the switch to remain submerged without ingress-related failures. With a 10 A switching capacity the unit directly controls many small pumps and relays, reducing the need for external switching hardware. Compact dimensions and defined switching behavior simplify installation and commissioning in confined spaces. The robust construction delivers stable operation in typical water detection scenarios.

Suitable for

• Automatic control of small drainage and sump pumps
• Level detection in rainwater collectors and storage tanks
• Alarm activation for overflow or leak detection
• Domestic wastewater and light industrial liquid monitoring

Key specifications

• Ingress protection: IP68 for continuous submersion
• Electrical switching capacity: 10 A (suitable for direct control of small pumps/relays)
• Operating principle: mechanical/electrical level switch for liquid detection
• Suitable mounting: submersible installation in tanks, sumps or wells
• Typical application environment: fresh water, wastewater and similar liquids (avoid corrosive media)

How to use

Install the water level switch at the desired activation depth within the sump, tank or well following local electrical regulations. Route the cable and connect the switch to the pump or alarm circuit, ensuring the load does not exceed the 10 A switching capacity. Secure the device in a stable position so it can move or rest as required for the intended switch point. After electrical connection, test the switching function by raising and lowering the liquid level to confirm reliable operation and correct wiring.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of the liquid with the switch materials and avoid use in strongly acidic or alkaline media. Do not exceed the electrical rating; use a suitable relay or contactor for higher loads. Periodically inspect the installation for deposits or mechanical obstruction and re-test operation after maintenance or long idle periods.
