This float switch is equipped with crossover-contacts for duplex functions: emptying + filling.

Installing one float-switch with dual-functionality is required if both conditions (up/down) are of importance at the installation.

In the upward position the contact between L & L1 is closed while the contact between L & L2 is opened.

In the downward position the contact between L & L1 is opened but closed between L & L2.

Applications: - emptying (cores: brown + blue)

• level-controlled operation (ON/OFF) of a submersible pump in a sump chamber
• high level alarm in a sump chamber or tank
• pump dry-run protection; low-level device in a tank

Installed as a low-level device in a rainwater harvesting tank, the float switch can also provide pump dry-run protection.

Applications: - filling (cores: brown + black)

• level-controlled filling (ON/OFF) of tanks; header tank, intermediary buffer-tank
• low level alarm in a tank or reservoir
• low level signal of rainwater harvesting tank

The float switch in the downward position activates an external solenoid-valve or pump to supply water to the tank.

The low level alarm or signal can be used to activate an emergency signal or to display a status on a control panel. It can also be used to trigger a backup supply (e.g. automatic switch-over from rainwater to well-water, if rainwater tank is empty).

Brown = L; phase/power supply
Blue = L1; to pump or alarm | (emptying)
Black = L2; to pump, solenoid-valve or alarm/signal | (filling)
Green/Yellow = PE (earth conductor)

SAFETY NOTICE: due to submerged operation, a float switch with earth conductor (PE) is recommended at any installation with up to 250V. All float switches supplied by GEMGATE Limited are equipped with an earth conductor!
