WIRING C) One pump turns OFF when float rises and another pump turns on
There are some specialist applications where the float switch can control two pumps. For
example, one pump could be permanently pumping from one tank, and when this first
tank is empty a second pump starts pumping from another source. Apply the detail of the
two basic functions A and B above.
WIRING D) General information and warnings applicable to all functions
i)
The float switch cable can carry 230 Volts AC or other voltages at DC (direct
current)
ii)
In the case of 230 Volts AC applications, ensure that there is no risk of the wire
fraying and insulation breaking down. Ensure that connections are secure, dry and well
insulated from short circuit and from contact with a maintenance person.
iii)
Do not connect the earth pin of the mains plug to any lead of the float switch.
Only the earth lead of the pump (or solenoid valve or other appliance) should be
connected to the earth pin of the mains plug.

The pump or appliance must be earthed as showed by the yellow and green
striped cables in the wiring diagrams above.
