4.7- Floating switch
4.7.1- Active float switch (Fig.2)
1. The pump must be in a vertical position: ensure that it is stable during operation.
2. Ensure that the float switch can move freely.
3. The suction holes must never be obstructed. It is therefore preferable that the pump should never be
placed directly on the ground or on the bottom of the well, pond or vessel.
For example, use a brick to support the pump.
4. Start pump by pressing On/Off switch.
5. The float switch (10) enables the automatic start and stop of the pump.
When the water rises to reach approximately 50cm or angle over 45
, the pump starts up.
When water level has lowered to approximately 5cm or angle below 45
, the pump will stop
automatically.
6. By shortening the length of the cable between the pump and the float, it is possible to modify the
water heights that trigger starting and stopping of the pump.
7. To adjust the cut-in/cut-out height, fix the float switch cable and adjust the cable to the required
length.
Warning
: to dry out premises (cellar draining for example) it will be necessary to place the pump
below floor level.
4.7.2- Blocked float switch (Fig.3)
1. The pump must be in a vertical position: ensure that it is stable during operation.
2. Ensure that the float switch can move freely.
3. The suction holes must never be obstructed. It is therefore preferable that the pump should never be
placed directly on the ground or on the bottom of the well, pond or vessel.
For example, use a brick to support the pump.
4. To operate the pump, press the On/Off switch.
