Tilt Float Level Switches INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Installation Instructions: 1. There are no specific installation concerns. However, the lead cable should be supported in an enclosed tank. Additionally, in an open tank, sump, or pond, it is advantageous to clip the lead cable to the side; especially if excessive turbulence is experienced (a nylon cable-tie is included). 2. The wire colors are defined in the following table: Wiring Wire Color

3. A stabilizing weight and plastic c-clip are included with the Tilt Float Switches. This may be installed at any point on the lead cable. The weight has a conical inner diameter, to allow it to slide onto the c-clip. • Remove the c-clip from the weight and snap onto cable at desired location. • Insert the cable through the weight. Make sure the cable is inserted in the larger inner diameter FIRST. • Slide weight down length of cable until it contacts the c-clip. • Force the weight onto the c-clip by rotating it and using slight pressure.
Installation Suggestions:
Float Travel is proportional to distance between float body and weight or anchor point. Example 1: 6 inches between float body and weight will require 12 inches total float travel for proper opertaion of switch. Example 2: 18 inches between float body and weight will require 36 inches total float travel to proper operation of switch. Switch point is approximately ± 45 deg from horizontal at tethered or weighted point on cable.
General Information: • To alleviate the effects of rapid switching conditions if such turbulence is expected, it is recommended that a maintaining circuit be used to both safeguard the micro-switch and cut out any chatter from the starters of associated equipment, such as pumps. Warnings: • DO NOT exceed the Maximum Pressure, 1 bar (14.5 psi), and Maximum Temperature, 70°C (158°F) • DO NOT exceed the Contact Ratings , 16A 250VAC General Purpose 1/2 HP 250 VAC 60 Hz • Physical damage to switch assembly may render product unserviceable.
