Connection and Installation
*Wiring options:*
- Normally Open: Connect circuit to NO configuration
- Normally Closed: Connect circuit to NC configuration
- Works as simple ON/OFF sensor[citation:3]
*Installation tips:*
- Mount horizontally on tank side wall[citation:3]
- Ensure float movement path is clear of obstacles
- Use appropriate sealant for leak-proof installation
Use the built-in float to detect liquid presence or absence[citation:4]
Connect directly to pump or relay for automatic water level control[citation:3]
Do not exceed 0.5A switching current
Not suitable for corrosive chemicals
Troubleshooting
Switch not triggering:
- Verify wiring configuration (NO vs NC)
- Check float movement is not obstructed
- Ensure liquid level reaches activation point
Erratic operation:
- Clean float and stem of debris
- Check for proper mounting orientation
- Verify operating temperature within range
