DESCRIPTION

The AquaSwitch is a rising water liquid level detector. Its solid state elect-

ronic sensing is not effected by oil ﬁlm, metal trays, nor by slightly off the

vertical mounting position. The small footprint (4 x 5 cm) and the low swit-

ching level means that the AquaSwitch may be mounted in the smallest

of reservoirs. The in-built isolated relay switches loads up to 1250VA. This

allows the user to select the AquaSwitch to directly switch pumps and sole-

noids or interface into other control circuits. The built-in Delay to off timer

may be used to allow water being drained or pumped to be fully vacated or

just to prevent nuisance switching.

SAFETY FIRST

Disconnect all power supplies before starting installation or maintenance

work. The interconnecting conductors and connections are to be conﬁned

within the host equipment. All wiring and connections are for internal in-

stallation only. This product must be installed only by competent engineers.

There are no user serviceable parts in this control. Do not use if damaged in

any way. Check the label to ensure this product is the correct voltage.

INSTALLATION

The AquaSwitch is intended to detect rising condensate water levels in A/

C and Refrigeration applications. It may also be used in Reservoir Top-Up

or High Level Alarm applications. The AquaSwitch is a semi-submersible

switch therefore it must not be used in application where it will be perma-

nently submerged or for long extended periods. It is not recommended to

use it as a low level switch. The AquaSwitch may be used in metal or plastic

collection trays. When positioning, ensure that there is 8 mm of clearance in

front and 5 mm below the sensing pads. The AquaSwitch will operate tilted

in any direction from the normal by up to 45° however for reliable operation

position the AquaSwitch ﬂat and level. Tray depth must be at least 17 mm

to prevent overﬂowing.

FIXING METHODS 1) Use the waterproof double sided foam supplied to adhere the AquaSwitch to the side or base or the tray. Surfaces should be flat, free from grease, dust and water when fixing. Allows 24 hours for full adhesion. 2) Screw the AquaSwitch to the wall of the tray or suitable bracket. Do not drill or screw into the AquaSwitch in any way other than by the fixing slots provided. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Disconnect all power supplies before starting installation or maintenance work.

und von 5 mm unter den Sensorpads vorsehen. Der AquaSwitch funktioniert auch in einer geneigten Position, in beliebiger Richtung um bis zu 45° von der Normalposition. Für einen zuverlässigen Betrieb empfiehlt sich jedoch eine ebene und gerade Positionierung des AquaSwitch. Die Beckentiefe muss mindestens 17 mm betragen, um ein Überlaufen zu vermeiden. BEFESTIGUNGSMETHODEN 1) Mit dem mitgelieferten doppelseitigen Schaumstoff den AquaSwitch an der Seite oder am Boden des Beckens anbringen.

Lors de la mise en place, veiller à bien respecter un écart de 8 mm devant et de 5 mm sous les patins de détection. L’AquaSwitch peut fonctionner incliné jusqu’à 45° dans tous les sens, par rapport à la position normale, mais seule une position plane et équilibrée de l’AquaSwitch garantit un fonctionnement fiable.

narlo, assicurarsi che vi sia uno spazio libero di 8 mm davanti e 5 mm sotto i sensori. AquaSwitch funziona orientato in qualsiasi direzione, da quella originaria fino a 45°, tuttavia, per assicurare un funzionamento affidabile, porre AquaSwitch in posizione piana. La profondità della vasca deve essere almeno di 17 mm, al fine di evitare la tracimazione. METODI DI FISSAGGIO 1) Utilizzare la schiuma impermeabile bilaterale fornita per fissare AquaSwitch alla parete o al fondo della vasca.
