7. Turn the circuit breaker back on and test for

proper operation by authorizing a dispenser of

that product and feeling the top of the pump for

vibration.

8. Test the sensor as described in the Testing

section.

Alarm Wiring

The relay contacts (Orange / Black and Orange) are

normally closed dry contacts that will open when liquid is

detected. This enables the 404-4 controller to be wired into

other configurations.

Note: You must not exceed the relay contact rating of

250 VAC, 12 A.

Figure 6 shows an example of alarm wiring for applications

that do not require a positive shutdown.

Figure 6: Wiring Example for Non-Positive Shutdown

In the example above, the alarm light illuminates when the

404-4 controller senses liquid. Other possibilities exist for

connecting to an external monitoring device, such as an

INCON T5 Tank Gauge.

Testing

Test the function of the system according to applicable

codes, and at least annually to verify proper system

operation.
To Test The Float Sensor Cutoff

1. Insert the sensor in a vessel of water. The dispenser

should shut down (remove power from the orange

wire) when the sensor float rises in water about ½"

and makes contact with the top of sensor.

2. Remove the sensor from the water and reset the

sensor by pushing the float back down with the

provided reset tool to restore power to the pump or

dispenser.

To Test the Optical Sensor
Note:
This sensor is affected by ambient light and should

be shielded from direct light.

Always disconnect power before

checking the optical sensor. Opening

up the sensor sump location to light

may cause the sensor to change state.

1. Insert the sensor in a vessel of water. The pump or

dispenser should shut down (by removing power

from the orange wire) when the water level rises in

water a little less than 1”.

2. The sensor should reset after it is removed from the

water.

Troubleshooting

If the controller relay repeatedly cycles or oscillates

when the sensor is tripped, it is likely that the controller is

switching its own power. Check the wiring diagram and

confirm that the controller is wired properly. Make sure that

the orange / black, red and black wires are tied to power

from the breaker and the orange wire feeds the dispenser.
