b) Float / Retention Gland / Reserve Level Installation (see Fig. 4) : Using the retention gland provided.
Drill a 19 mm hole near the hatch door or down pipe water strainer at the top of the tank in a position of
easy access. Fit the Gland and feed the cable through the gland hole from inside the tank. Tighten the
gland. It will support the weight of the Float Switch. Tie Float Switch and Motorised Ball Valve cables
to the mains power cable using the cable ties supplied, to provide strain relief on the connectors.
Rainsmart gives you the flexibility of setting a tank water
reserve level
. A reserve level is a level you
set in the tank to signify the point at which the Float Switch is at its lowest point. You can set this
reserve level at any height in the tank. This will ensure that you always have the water you require for
anything other than the toilet and laundry (i.e. garden). Begin by extending the Float Switch lead outside
the tank. Hold the lead at the top of the tank and hang until the Float head is 100 mm above the pump
suction pipe (the pipe which links the tank to the pump). Then, still holding the Float lead at the top of
the tank, raise the Float head by pulling up the Float lead. When you are content with the Float head
height (which may be a quarter or half way up the tank) place a mark on the Float lead at the height of
the tank with a pen. This mark will be the point at which the Retention Gland holds the Float lead. This
is also your determined reserve level. You can later adjust the reserve level to suit your requirements by
releasing the Retention Gland and feeding the Float lead either way.
Note: Ensure you consider what reserve level you would like in the tank and that the length of cable
inside the tank allows the Float Switch room to fully extend.
Wire the Float Switch (as shown in the Quick Setup) into the socket at the bottom of the
RainSmart
TM
controller.
RainSmart
TM
recommends testing the Float Switch prior to installation. To do this, switch
power onto the RainSmart
TM
controller and move the Float Switch from a low to a high position. When
the Float Switch is held in the low position the control box ‘mains water’ light will illuminate.
Additionally, if the Motorised Ball Valve is plugged in, this will open. When the Float Switch is held in
the up position the control box ‘rain water’ light will illuminate. Additionally, if the Motorised Ball
Valve is plugged in, this will close.
