Product Applications
#2900 Float Switches
The
#2900 float switches are most commonly used in tanks or basins with three floats
connected to a junction box which is, in turn, connected to a control panel. The
diagram below shows a typical multiple float switch system design. These three
floats control the levels in the tank by turning "on" or "off" as the fluid
levels rise and fall. The bottom pump off float latches the holding relay on
water rise, the pump on float then rises and runs pump until the bottom float
drops out releasing the holding relay. These floats work well with low voltage,
intrinsically safe circuits. They are used in many different applications
wherever fluid levels need to be monitored including sump pump basins, sewage
basins, cisterns, septic tanks, chemical solution tanks and more. The #2900
float switches replace air bubbler systems, transducers, diaphragm switches,
ultrasonic and electrode systems. All can be used in residential, commercial,
industrial, agricultural and municipal applications.
Conery Float Brackets
Float switch brackets are used to keep floats at the desired level and also
keeps the float cords from tangling in tanks which could cause malfunctions. The
bracket is mounted inside a tank or basin about 1/3 to 1/2 the distance from the
top of the tank. A bracket can be mounted at the top of a tank and will still
hold the floats at their desired levels but the chance of tangling is much
greater than if mounted somewhat further down into the tank. Mounting a bracket
at the top of a tank makes for easier servicing but we always recommend that
brackets be mounted at least 1/3 of the distance down into the tank. Since the
inside of tanks can often have corrosive environments, all Conery Manufacturing
brackets are made of non-corrosive stainless steel for lasting durability.
Conery Alarm Systems
Alarm systems are to be used whenever liquid levels need to be monitored. In the
event of pump malfunction, power loss or circuit failure, a system of lights and
audible alarms can alert the resident or service personnel of the problem. Alarm
systems are recommended in most residential, commercial, industrial,
agricultural and municipal applications for the monitoring of sump pump basins,
sewage basins, cisterns, septic tanks, chemical solution tanks and more.
Conery Junction Boxes
Junction boxes are used in many types of tanks where cord connections need to be
made because the pump and float switch cords are not long enough to reach the
control panel. These junctions boxes are constructed of a tough poly material
and are rated as NEMA 4X suitable for outdoor installations. Most junction boxes
are mounted inside or just outside a tank or basin. Please refer to the diagram
above for the proper location and use of a typical junction box.
