INSTALLATION
Step
Five
The
basic
operating
principle
of
the
sump
float
is
very
simple.
As
fluid
level
rises
the
float
will
also
rise,
resulting
in
a
tilt
of
the
micro
‐
switch
located
inside
the
housing.
This
tilt
will
generate
a
signal
that
can
be
used
to
actuate
a
motor
or
signal
an
indicator
alarm.
To
ensure
the
proper
function
of
the
sump
float,
it
is
necessary
to
secure
the
electric
cable
inside
the
tank
or
well.
The
length
of
the
cable
measured
between
the
fixture
point
(see
below)
and
the
body
of
the
float
determines
the
total
extension
of
the
float.
This
results
in
the
distance
between
the
pump
stopping
and
starting
level.
This
distance
should
be
no
less
than
6
in
(15
cm).
It
is
essential
to
ensure
that
there
are
no
obstructions
in
the
sump
floats
operational
area
before
operation.
Warning:
During
operation,
adjustments
to
the
sump
float
cable
must
not
be
made
under
any
circumstances
due
to
the
fact
that
any
unwanted
cable
connections
made
while
the
sump
float
is
immersed
in
water
can
lead
to
electric
shock.
There
are
two
installation
options
for
this
sump
float.
One
method
is
to
fix
the
cable
of
the
float
to
the
reservoir
or
container
with
the
use
of
a
small
clamp.
Another
technique
would
be
to
attach
the
LV49
‐
7000
counter
weight
to
the
float’s
cable
a
desired
distance
between
the
highest
and
lowest
level
desired.
Note:
With
the
use
of
the
counterweight,
the
length
of
cable
between
the
float
and
fixed
point
(starting
and
stopping
indication)
can
be
freely
adjusted.
Note:
The
LV42
series
is
self
counterweighted
and
can
be
used
without
the
need
of
additional
counterweight,
clamp,
or
bracket.
The
previous
are
means
to
simplify
installation
and
aid
in
organizing
the
use
of
multiple
float
switches.

INSTALLATION
OF
COUNTERWEIGHT
For
correct
counterweight
installation,
refer
to
the
following
procedure
as
well
as
the
illustration.
1.
Insert
the
cable
into
the
counterweight,
turning
it.
This
will
result
in
the
detachment
of
the
plastic
ring
inserted
in
the
mouth
(if
necessary
use
a
screwdriver
to
aid
in
the
detachment
of
the
ring).
Place
the
ring
at
the
point
on
the
cable
where
the
counterweight
is
to
be
attached.
2.
Attach
the
counterweight
on
the
ring
by
turning
it
and
using
moderate
pressure.
(Counterweight
sold
separately).
