Float Switches – 

float switches are provided to help prevent unintended energizing of the heating elements.  It is vital that the heating elements be immersed 

in liquid prior to energizing them.  Failure to immerse the heating elements will cause them to fail and potentially cause a fire!  Using the wires included, run the 
wire from the float switches to the terminal block shown in the panel (Fig. 10). 

Polarity is not important.

  Hook your BK float switch blue and brown wires 

into terminals BKFS-1 and BKFS-2 in the panel. 

Again, polarity is not important.

 If jumper wires are installed in the panel remove them when you install the 

switch wires.    

When wiring the float switches to the control panel use a continuity tester on the leads to ensure that the switch is open when in the down (empty) position, 
and is closed (has continuity) in the up (full) position. 

CAUTION:

 The low water level switches are a backup to an unintended energizing of the heaters.  They are NOT 

intended to be normal shutoff switches and solely relied upon to keep the heaters from unintentionally energizing!  

Dry-fired heating elements are not covered under warranty!

Picture shows float switch down. In this position 

the heating elements will not energize. 

REMOVE THE RUBBER BAND FROM THE LOW LEVEL FLOAT SWITCH BEFORE INSTALLATION

Picture shows float switch up. In this position the    

heating elements will energize. 

Picture shows blue and brown pre-stripped wires.
