Level Controller Topic: Best Wiring to Combine 61F-GP-N Level Controller with Float Switch

FAQ No. FAQ00759

Question

What kind of wiring is best to combine a 61F-GP-N Floatless Level Controller and float switch?

Answer

Connect the float switch's contact to pins 4 and 5 of the 61F-GP-N.
The voltage and current between the 61F electrodes is only about 8 VAC and 1 mA, so it is best to use a float switch contact that is for a minimal load.
