Step One
The LC40, LC41 & LC42 Series Controllers are general-purpose level controllers offered in three
configurations for pump and valve control. The LC40 Series features a single 10A SPDT relay output and can
accept one level sensor as an input. The LC41 Series features a single 10A SPDT latching relay output and
can accept one or two level sensor(s) as an input. This package is ideal for the automatic filling or emptying of
a tank. The LC42 Series features both a single 10A SPDT and a single 10A Latching SPDT relay. This
package allows for a three-input system that can perform a automatic operations (fill or empty) and an alarm
operation (high or low). The LC42 series can also be a two-input controller that can perform dual alarms (2-
high, 2-low or 1-high, 1-low). Package either controller series with level switch sensors and fittings.
