  DRAINAGE APPLICATION BY INSTALLING FLOAT SWITCH 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

(g)

 

Application: Pressure boosting (using pressure switch) 

Start condition: 

Pressure in the pipe line is less than the set point of pressure 

switch, relay contact of pressure switch is ON and liquid level in the well/supply 

tank is above lower probe (Float switch up position), the controller will run the 

pump.

 

 

Stop condition: 

Pressure has reached the set point of pressure switch; relay 

contact of pressure switch is OFF; the controller will stop the pump.

 

 

Probe/sensor free application in case of submersible pumps: 

The unit has 

reliable and automatic protection against dry running if it is used for 

submersible pump for deep well. Users can short the terminals 1, 2 & 3 to 

achieve sensor free dry run protection.

Application: Irrigation/sewage/drainage (using float switch) 

 

Start condition: 

When the “Float switch A” reaches at up position, the 

controller will run the pump.

 

 

Stop condition: 

When the “Float switch A”  reaches at down position, the 

controller will stop the pump.

 

 

Over  f l ow alarm: 

In case the level in the sump rises even if the pump is 

draining water and the “Float switch B”  reaches at up position, the controller 

will sound the over  f l ow alarm to warn the pump operator.

 

 

Meaning of the messages & graphics displayed on the LCD screen

 

FULL

 

Pressure has reached set point and pump has 

stopped.

 

DRY RUN

 

Liquid level in the borewell is below the pump 

intake, pumps stop running.

 

 

NO WATER

 

Liquid level in the underground tank/water 

well is below lower most probe (float switch: 

down position), pump stops.
