4.7- Floating switch
4.7.1- Active float switch (Fig.2)
1. The pump must be in a vertical position: ensure that it is stable during operation.
2. Ensure that the float switch can move freely.
3. The suction holes must never be obstructed. It is therefore preferable that the pump should never be
placed directly on the ground or on the bottom of the well, pond or vessel.
For example, use a brick to support the pump.
4. Start pump by pressing On/Off switch.
5. The float switch (10) enables the automatic start and stop of the pump.
When the water rises to reach approximately 50cm or angle over 45, the pump starts up.
When water level has lowered to approximately 5cm or angle below 45, the pump will stop
automatically.
6. By shortening the length of the cable between the pump and the float, it is possible to modify the
water heights that trigger starting and stopping of the pump.
7. To adjust the cut-in/cut-out height, fix the float switch cable and adjust the cable to the required
length.
Warning: to dry out premises (cellar draining for example) it will be necessary to place the pump
below floor level.
4.7.2- Blocked float switch (Fig.3)
1. The pump must be in a vertical position: ensure that it is stable during operation.
2. Ensure that the float switch can move freely.
3. The suction holes must never be obstructed. It is therefore preferable that the pump should never be
placed directly on the ground or on the bottom of the well, pond or vessel.
For example, use a brick to support the pump.
4. To operate the pump, press the On/Off switch.
Warning: to dry out premises (cellar draining for example) it will be necessary to place the pump
below floor level.
V. OPERATION
5.1- Intended use
1. This submersible pump can be used for domestic, industrial or farming applications, for pumping
clear water with particles in suspension that are less than 0.2mm in diameter.
2. The pump is fully submersible: the immersion depth must not exceed 15m (refer to characteristics
table).
3. The pump should not be used for sucking up liquids or materials that are corrosive,
combustible/flammable, explosive; or food liquids.
4. The temperature of liquids sucked up should not exceed 35°C.
5. Any other use, other than that described in the instructions, is likely to damage the pump and to
put the user in serious danger.
