When the fill level in the well rises and the switch on-level (ON/OFF1 or ON/OFF2) is reached, the pump switches on. The corresponding well is drained. The switching cycle is defined by the cable length of the float switch.

When the switch-off levels (ON/OFF1 or ON/OFF2) are reached, the respective pump switches off after the set switch-off delay has elapsed.

To protect the pumps from a dry run, install a float switch or electrode in each well:

  • If the water level falls below the dry running level, the corresponding pump switches off. An error message appears on the display and an alarm sounds.
  • If the dry-running level is exceeded, the alarm and error message are automatically reset.
