The Series 800 controls provide con-
tinuous protection against low water
conditions for residential, commercial
and industrial applications. Newer
models feature increased probe 
sensitivity to prevent nuisance shut-
downs, and a new test feature that
diagnoses shorted probe problems at
installation. The user-friendly diag-
nostic LEDs simplify installation and
troubleshooting, ensuring proper
operation and saving time.
