INSTALLATION
Unpack switch and remove any packing material found inside lower housing or float
chamber.
Switch must be installed with body in a horizontal plane and arrow on side pointing
down.
If switch has an external float chamber (tee), connect it to vertical sections of 1˝ NPT
pipe installed outside vessel walls at appropriate levels. If unit has no external float
chamber, it must be mounted in a 1˝ NPT half coupling welded to the vessel wall. The
coupling must extend through the wall.
Inspect and clean wetted parts at regular intervals.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect wire leads in accordance with local electrical codes and switch action
required. N.O. contacts will close and N.C. contacts will open when liquid level causes
float to rise. They will return to "normal" condition on decreasing liquid level. Black =
common, Blue = N.O. and Red = N.C.

For units supplied with both internal ground and external bonding terminals, the
ground screw inside the housing must be used to ground the control. The external
bonding screw is for supplementary bonding when allowed or required by local code.
When external bonding conductor is required, conductor must be wrapped a minimum
of 180° about the external bonding screw. See below. Some CSA listed models are
furnished with a separate green ground wire. Such units must be equipped with a
junction box, not supplied but available on special order.
EU-Type Certificate IECEX and KC Installation Instructions:
Cable Connection
The cable entry device shall be certified in type of explosion protection flameproof
enclosure "d", suitable for conditions of use and correctly installed. For Ta ≥ 65°C
cable and cable gland rated ≥ 90°C shall be used.
Conduit Connection
An Ex d certified sealing device such as a conduit seal with setting compound shall be
provided immediately to the entrance of the valve housing. For Ta ≥ 65°C wiring and
setting compound, in the conduit seal, rated ≥ 90°C shall be used.
