UNIVERSAL TETHERED FLOAT SWITCH
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill. To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect the power supply before replacing switch. Make
sure switch is connected only to a properly grounded grounding type receptacle.
Short circuit electrical hazard. An incorrect connection may cause electric shock, or burn out the pump motor, resulting in property
damage or personal injury. Make sure all connections are correct before plugging the switch into the outlet.
The outlet voltage and pump voltage must match. Ensure voltage is correct before installing switch. The electrical outlet must be
installed outside the pump basin.
Risk of flooding. It is recommended to operate the pump through two or three complete cycles to ensure proper liquid level control.
Installation and Operating Instructions
1. Determine the required tether length/pumping range for your
installation using the dimensions in the Tether Length Chart.
Refer to Figure 2.
2. Attach the float switch cable to the pump discharge pipe using
the plastic mounting clamp and stainless hose clamp (see
Figure 1). NOTE: Do not install the cord under the hose clamp.
3. Locate the clamp at the desired activation level and secure to
the discharge pipe.
4. Make sure the float operates freely without contacting the
sides of the basin.
5. Secure remaining cord to the discharge pipe to avoid possible
obstruction with the float switch operation.
6. Plug the piggyback plug of the float switch into a grounded
outlet, then plug the pump into the piggyback plug. Refer to
Figure 3.
7. Check for proper operation by filling the basin with water and
observing the float switch through at least two complete
cycles. Make sure the pump operates at the desired levels.
Make any necessary adjustments at this time.
