This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the SJE Rhombus Float Switch, Model 15PMWPSWE. This wide-angle, SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) float switch is designed for automatic control of liquid levels, particularly suitable for potable water applications. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure safe and efficient use.
Ozi nchekwa
- Always disconnect power before installing or servicing the float switch.
- Onye ọrụ ọkụ eletrik ruru eru kwesịrị ịrụ nrụnye ahụ dịka iwu eletriki mpaghara na nke mba si dị.
- Do not exceed the maximum electrical ratings of the switch.
- Ensure the float switch is used only with compatible liquids as specified (potable water).
- Protect the cable from sharp objects, excessive heat, and chemical exposure.
Ngwaahịa gafereview
The SJE Rhombus Float Switch (Model 15PMWPSWE) is an automatic liquid level control device. It features a wide-angle operation and a SPDT switch configuration, allowing it to be used for both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) applications. The float is constructed from durable PVC material, making it suitable for potable water environments.

Ntọala na nwụnye
1. Mounting the Float Switch
The float switch is typically mounted using the included cable weight. The cable weight allows for adjustment of the pumping range (the difference between the ON and OFF points).
- Determine the desired ON and OFF liquid levels.
- Attach the cable weight to the float switch cable at the appropriate distance from the float body. The distance between the float and the cable weight determines the pumping range.
- Suspend the float switch in the tank or basin so that it can freely move up and down with the liquid level without obstruction. Ensure the cable is not kinked or stressed.
2. Njikọ Ọdụdọ
The float switch has a SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) configuration, meaning it has three wires: Common, Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC). Refer to the wiring diagram below for typical connections.
- Waya nkịtị: Connects to the power source or control circuit.
- Normally Open (NO) Wire: Completes the circuit when the float is in the "up" position (liquid level is high). Use for pump-down applications (emptying a tank).
- Normally Closed (NC) Wire: Completes the circuit when the float is in the "down" position (liquid level is low). Use for pump-up applications (filling a tank).
Ihe dị mkpa: Always consult a qualified electrician for wiring to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and safety standards. The switch is rated for 120 to 230VAC, 13 Amps.
Ntuziaka ọrụ
Once properly installed and wired, the SJE Rhombus Float Switch operates automatically based on the liquid level. The wide-angle design allows for a significant tilt before activation, providing reliable switching.
- Pump-Up Operation (Filling): Connect the Common and Normally Closed (NC) wires. When the liquid level drops, the float switch will tilt down, closing the NC contact and activating the pump to fill the tank. When the level rises, the float tilts up, opening the NC contact and deactivating the pump.
- Pump-Down Operation (Emptying): Connect the Common and Normally Open (NO) wires. When the liquid level rises, the float switch will tilt up, closing the NO contact and activating the pump to empty the tank. When the level drops, the float tilts down, opening the NO contact and deactivating the pump.
The switch activates at approximately 45 degrees above horizontal for "ON" and 45 degrees below horizontal for "OFF", providing a robust switching differential.
Nlekọta
The SJE Rhombus Float Switch is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
- Nlele anya: Regularly check the float body and cable for any signs of damage, wear, or accumulation of debris.
- Ọnọdụ USB: Ensure the cable is free from kinks, abrasions, or cuts.
- Float Movement: Verify that the float can move freely without obstruction within the tank or basin.
- Nhicha: If necessary, clean the float body with water and a mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals that could damage the PVC material.
- Njikọ eletrik: Periodically check electrical connections for tightness and corrosion. (Ensure power is disconnected before inspection).
