S-500 SERIES SUB. PUMP FLOAT SWITCH (PIGGY-BACK)

Float Switch

Single or dual control float switches can be used for the unattended operation of the submersible pump. When using the piggy- back power configuration (plug), the S-500series pumps DO NOT require the use of a control box. In this configuration (piggy-back), the SW-1 (single float switch) or SW-2 (dual float switch) are required. Figure 6 is an example of a single float switch application.
