• Level monitoring in wells and reservoirs
• Drainage system management
• Prevention of dry running in pumping equipment
• Grey water level regulation

When it may not be suitable

This float switch is not designed for use with aggressive chemicals, oils, or highly corrosive liquids that may degrade the PVC cable or the switch housing. It is also not intended for high-temperature applications exceeding the manufacturer's specified thermal limits.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 meters
• Cable material: PVC
• Application: Clean and grey water
• Included accessories: Counterweight
• Function: Automatic level control

How to use

To install the device, secure the float switch cable at the desired height within the tank or well. The counterweight should be attached to the cable at the point where you wish the switching action to occur. Once positioned, connect the electrical leads to your pump control circuit according to the wiring diagram. Ensure that the cable has enough slack to move freely as the water level rises and falls, preventing any mechanical obstruction that could hinder the switch's operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the cable length is sufficient for your specific tank depth
• Ensure the liquid type is compatible with PVC cable material
• Check the electrical load requirements of your pump against the switch ratings
• Confirm the installation space allows for the full range of float movement

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the float switch and cable for any signs of wear, debris accumulation, or damage to ensure continued reliable operation. Periodically test the switching mechanism to confirm that the pump responds correctly to the changing water levels.
