Every single cable of the floats is composed of three leads: BLACK-BROWN-BLUE. The BLUE lead is
not used and must be insulated by the user.
8. PREPARATION OF THE ALARM SYSTEM FOR FEKAFOS 280 AND 280 DOUBLE (SUPPLIED
ONLY ON REQUEST FOR FEKABOX 200)
The preparation consists of having a float support composed of a PP
pipe, fig. 11. For Fekabox 200 the length must be shortened to 184 mm.
Strictly respect the lengths shown in the figure.
Pass the float cable out of the tank, through the preassembled grommet
, tighten the ring nut and connect it to the control unit. For
Fekabox 200, in the kit supplied, along with the alarm floating support
there will be an extra cable clamp, necessary for the float cable to come
out.
Before filling the tank, activate the float manually to check the operation
of the alarm system.
Make a test of the complete system with clean water, checking that the
alarm system intervenes only in the case of a pump malfunction or lack of
power in the mains.
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Fill the tank up to pump intervention level and interrupt the power supply to the pump. In this situation the
alarm system must not intervene.
2. Continue filling the tank until the alarm system intervenes. Check that in this condition the water level is a
few centimetres below the MAX emergency level 510 mm for Fekabox 200 and 680 mm for Fekafos 280
– 280 D.
If this condition does not occur, shorten the length of the cable between the cable grommet and the safety float.
The maximum level alarm float system can be managed by panels of the ED, E2D, E-BOX family and by the
Control AS1. The latter is an electronic control unit with charge reserve already equipped with a float.
