Float Switch
– A float switch is provided to help prevent unintended
energizing of the heating elements. It is vital that the heating elements
be immersed in liquid prior to energizing them. Failure to immerse
the heating elements will cause them to fail and potentially cause
a fire! Wire from the float switch to the terminal block shown in the
panel
(Fig. 10)
. Wire to terminal 1 and 2 on the float switch. Polarity
is not important. Use suitable 2 wire cable (18 ga recommended) for
connection.
When wiring the float switch to the control panel use a continuity
tester on the leads to ensure that the switch is open when in the down
(empty) position, and is closed (has continuity) in the up (full) position.
Low level float switch wires hook into the control panel terminals 2063
and 0VDC. If a jumper wire is installed in the panel, remove it when
you install the switch wires.
(Fig. 10)
CAUTION:
The low water level switch is a backup to an unintended energizing of the heaters. They are NOT intend-
ed to be normal shutoff switch and solely relied upon to keep the heaters from unintentionally energizing! Dry-fired
heating elements are not covered under warranty!
WARNING - DO NOT twist the float
switch apart. This is NOT covered
under warranty.
The indent should be pointed up for proper
float switch operation.
