SludgeBoss 33‘ Sludge Boss Float Switch (SA-2368-10)

Description

The SludgeBoss 33′ Sludge Boss Float Switch (SA-2368-10) is a dependable solution engineered for the precise measurement and control of wastewater levels in challenging environments such as sewage and septic systems. Designed to handle liquids with medium to heavy suspended solids, this float switch offers reliable performance for both emptying (pump down) and filling (pump up) applications. Its 33-foot cord provides ample reach for various tank sizes, and the innovative self-orienting design eliminates the need for tethers or external weights, simplifying installation and ensuring consistent operation.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Versatile Application: Ideal for sewage, septic tanks, and other liquids containing suspended solids, offering reliable level detection for pump control.
• Dual Functionality: Effectively manages wastewater levels for both emptying and filling operations, providing flexible control of your system.
• Long Reach: The 33-foot cord allows for installation in a variety of tank depths and configurations.
• Hassle-Free Installation: The self-orienting, non-tethered design simplifies the setup process, saving time and effort.
• Reliable Switching: Controlled by a high-quality Honeywell micro switch, ensuring consistent and long-lasting performance with a rating of 100,000 operations.
• Direct Motor Control: Capable of directly controlling motors up to 1/2 Horsepower (or 13 Amps) at 120 or 220 Volts AC for non-continuous pump operations, and up to 13 Amps for 12V DC motor loads. (Note: Higher horsepower motors require a contactor or relay.)
• Robust Construction: Features a non-corrosive polypropylene casing and PVC-jacketed wires, built to withstand demanding wastewater environments.
• Temperature Resistance: Operates reliably in temperatures ranging from 32°F to 140°F.
• Waterproof and Dustproof: IP68 rated for complete protection against dust and submersion in water.
• Peace of Mind: Backed by an exceptional 5-year warranty against manufacturer defects, demonstrating the product’s quality and reliability.

HOW TO USE:

• Determine the Application: Decide whether you need the float switch to control the pump for emptying (normally open contact) or filling (normally closed contact) your tank.
• Mount the Float Switch: Position the SludgeBoss float switch at the desired high and low liquid levels within your tank. The self-orienting design allows it to hang freely without the need for a tether or weight.
• Wire the Connections (Emptying Application): Connect the common wire to the power source. Connect the normally open (NO) wire to the pump’s power supply. When the liquid level rises and lifts the float, the switch will close, activating the pump.
• Wire the Connections (Filling Application): Connect the common wire to the power source. Connect the normally closed (NC) wire to the pump’s power supply. When the liquid level drops and the float lowers, the switch will close, activating the pump.
• Connect to Power: Ensure all wiring connections are secure and properly insulated before connecting the power supply.
• Test the Operation: Carefully test the float switch by manually raising and lowering it to verify that the pump activates and deactivates at the intended liquid levels.
