Before Installing the Level Switch
Inspect the unit for any shipment damage.
Check for mechanical clearance of the float. Float must move freely
without binding throughout its stroke.
Use an acceptable thread compound when installing unit to ensure
a leak-free fit and avoid thread galling.
Electrical connection is free wire leads with a 1/2” NPT(F) conduit
connection. Use two wrenches - one to hold hex conduit connection,
the other to tighten conduit fitting. Switching element is a hermetically
sealed reed switch.
Wiring schematics shown on page 2.
Ensure that all wiring conforms to all applicable local and national electrical
codes and install unit(s) according to relevant national and local safety codes.
