SludgeBoss 16' Wire Lead Sludge Boss Float Switch (SA-2368-5)

The SludgeBoss 16' Wire Lead Sludge Boss Float Switch (SA-2368-5) is engineered to provide dependable measurement and control of wastewater levels in demanding environments such as sewage and septic tanks. Its innovative self-orienting design, eliminating the need for a tether, makes it adaptable to a variety of needs, particularly where medium to heavy amounts of suspended solids are present. Built to manage the rigorous conditions of sewage and septic applications, this float switch utilizes a quality Honeywell micro switch for consistent performance. It is rated for use with both low-voltage (12-24VDC) and standard AC (120-240VAC) systems. The SludgeBoss float switch can directly manage motors up to ½ 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. For applications involving higher horsepower motors, the use of a contactor or relay is recommended. Featuring a corrosion-resistant polypropylene casing and designed to withstand temperatures from 32°F to 140°F, this float switch holds both CE and IEC approvals, ensuring its quality and safety. Manage your wastewater levels with confidence thanks to the SludgeBoss's robust design and supported by an exceptional 5-year warranty against manufacturer defects. Your float switch is equipped with a three-wire configuration, allowing for flexible connections for either filling or emptying operations.

HOW TO USE:

1. Determine the desired operation: Decide whether you need the float switch to activate the pump for emptying (normally open) or filling (normally closed).
2. Connect the wires: Based on your desired operation (emptying or filling), connect the three wires of the float switch to your pump control system according to the manufacturer's instructions. Consult the wiring diagram provided with your pump or control panel.
3. Position the float switch: Lower the SludgeBoss float switch into the tank at the desired activation level. The self-orienting design means you do not need to worry about tether length or a counterweight; the float will naturally position itself. Ensure the float has enough free movement to rise and fall with the liquid level.
4. Secure the cable: Secure the 16-foot cable to prevent stress on the wire connections and ensure the float remains at the intended operating depth.
5. Test the operation: Carefully test the system by allowing the liquid level to rise and fall to confirm that the pump activates and deactivates at the desired levels.
