VI. Installation
a. There are no specific installation concerns for the WA150 Tilt Float
Switch. However, the Tilt Float Switch's lead cable should be supported in
an enclosed tank. Additionally, in an open tank, sump, or pond, it is
advantageous to clip the Tilt Float Switch's lead cable to the side,
especially if excessive turbulence is experienced (a nylon cable-tie is
included).
b. To alleviate the effects of rapid switching conditions if such turbulence is
expected, it is recommended that a maintaining circuit be used to both
safeguard the Tilt Float Switch's micro-switch and cut out any chatter from
the starters of associated equipment, such as pumps.
c. An optional stabilizing weight and rubber "O" ring are included with the
WA150 Tilt Float Switch. This may be installed at any point on the Tilt
Float Switch's lead cable.
Warnings:
Do not connect directly to line voltage.
Install according to applicable electrical codes.
Do not use in hazardous (explosive) environments.
Do not exceed pressure and temperature ratings.
