The D40 level switch houses a S.P.D.T (Single Pole Double
Throw) switch. The standard switch is suitable for all general
control circuit applications up to 500V AC. It is ideal for the
control of pump starters, relay logic circuits, and for the
direct control of contactors and timers.
The standard switch
can operate at ANY voltage from 5 to 500VAC. It is rated to
directly control motors up to 1.5kW (2HP).

An M4 earth screw is provided inside the lid of the D40 level
switch. In the interests of safety, all applications should be
properly earthed using the earth screw.
CABLE ANCHOR
Each D40 level switch is shipped with two cable crimps to
suit various cable sizes. A cable crimp should be crimped
onto the outer sheathing of the cable at least 5mm back from
the end of the outer sheathing. The cable should then be
pulled back through the cable gland until the cable crimp
rests hard up against the inner wall of the cable gland. After
bedding the cable crimp into position, fully tighten the cable
gland.
Note:
T
o switch ON when a rising water level covers the
displacer use terminals 1 (COM) and 3 (NO)
To switch ON when a falling water level uncovers the
displacer use terminals 1 (COM) and 2 (NC)
Note:
Do not apply maximum voltage at maximum current across the
switch contacts. See main data table for current limits at specifi c
voltages and for specifi c loads.

WARNING
Please read these installation and operating instructions
fully and carefully before installing or servicing this
level switch. The D40 level switch is a mains voltage
device. Death or serious injury may result if this switch
is not correctly installed and operated. All electrical
work associated with this switch must be performed by
a fully qualifi ed and licenced electrician.
If this switch is to be mounted in an outside location, for
example on top of an open water tank, we recommend the
cord and displacers as well as the electrical lead be protected
from direct exposure to the sun. A simple shroud can be
constructed from a length of 50mm or larger PVC pipe.
Stand the pipe on end in the tank and mount the D50 so its
displacers and cord sit inside the open pipe and are thus
protected from the sun. The electrical lead to the switch can
be protected from the sun using a siutable length of conduit.
