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 ST-1500 series 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.
