PUMP CONTROLLER
This pump controller turns pumps on and off to automatically fill your tank or empty a tank, or sump. One of the float switches starts your pump. When the level reaches the other float switch, it stops the pumping. Also includes a built-in level alarm to detect pump failure. Switchable between pump-up or pump-down applications.

Operation
To illustrate a pump-down application to empty a tank that collects liquid: when the liquid level rises so that it reaches the high level float switch (1 in the drawing to the right) the Pump Controller starts your pump to begin pumping out the tank. When the level drops to the low float (2), it stops your pump.
Emergency Level Alarms
If there is a problem with the pumping and the liquid level rises higher than the high level alarm float (3), a loud warbling audio alarm is sounded with a flashing LED. There is an option for a second level alarm which could be used to detect low level in case of a leak. Or it could be used for another output to control a second pump or solenoid, etc.
Tank Alarm Particle screen
Each float switch is protected with a screen to protect the float from debris for years of reliable service.
Batteries
The batteries last for years as the latching relay requires only a quick pulse of power power to latch. Typically they will last for 5 years if the pump is actuated 10 times a day. Nevertheless, if you prefer an AC adapter it is available for just a nominal charge. Further discussion of batteries vs. plug-in power.
