When provided, separate Controllers should be located adjacent to the Isolator and care 
taken to ensure correct connections to the terminal block. The controller isolator must be 
'off' during connections.

2.4   LOW WATER LEVEL PROTECTION

7

Water level sensors are unnecessary when there is no risk of 
draw down to the pump. 

CAUTION

The total length of cable used for water level sensors should not 
exceed 200m.

CAUTION

The water level sensor should be installed not less than 100mm 
above the pump suction.

CAUTION

2.5   HIGH WATER LEVEL TANK SENSOR

A high level sensor is also provided that can be used to control the pump when the 
pump output is delivered to a high level tank. In the event of this being fitted it should 
be connected to the terminals as shown in Fig 6 and also the timer delay controlled by 
Switch B must be set to approx. 20 mins.

SunFlo-A

A paddle type float switch is provided on the main pump cable that is suitable for large 
diameter well installation where there is sufficient space for paddle operation.

If installed in a borehole the paddle should be removed by cutting the cable and the 
three cable ends bared, joined together and bound by insulation tape to the main 
drop cable. Care should be taken to ensure a tight connection so the switch leads are 
in closed circuit.

SunFlo-B

A separate level probe is provided that should be connected to the Controller as 

indicated. When fitted it is important to set the timer delay on Switch B (see section 
4.2) to protect the pump from cycling as the water level rises. When no low level 
sensor is fitted terminal COM1 and WH should be directly connected with a looped 
cable.

3.  BATTERY SYSTEMS

SunFlo-S  and  SunFlo-B  installations  can  be  provided  with  auxiliary  batteries  to 
provide  extended  pump  operation.  Batteries  must  be  connected  through  the 
controller provided to the terminals indicated. They should not be connected directly 
to the pump. Batteries should be sized according to the table below:
