  1. In Auto Mode the motor starts whenever the water level in overhead tank is less than 25% and stops when the overhead tank is full.
  2. In Bypass Mode the motor is turned on directly. Motor will not be switched OFF automatically in this mode.
  3. In OFF mode the controller is switched OFF
  4. The Power ON indicator indicates whether device is ON or OFF.
  5. The Lower Level Indicator lights up when water level in tank is above 25%
  6. The Top Level Indicator lights up when water level in tank is above 100%
  7. The Top Up switch is used for Manual On auto Off operation of motor. It works only in auto mode
  8. The Stop switch is manually turn OFF the motor. It works only when water level is above 25% and only in Auto Mode
  9. The Motor ON led lights up when motor is ON

Installation Circuit ( With SS Sensors)

You can watch detailed installation video just below this section.

Steps to install:

  1. Measure the depth of the water tank by inserting the yellow sensor in it & mark it on yellow wire with a black tape
  2. Now join the Green sensor at 25% level and black at 100% level (below the black tape) using small wire ties provided in the box.Make sure that black sensor is placed Overflow level of tank.
  3. Now clip the extra part of wire ties and put this arrangement in the tank. To give proper support to this bundle of wires, tie it to a nearby pipeline using bigger wire ties.
  4. Extend these sensor wires from overhead tank to device using a 3 core Signal wire . Alternatively if this wire is not available then you can use CAT6 (LAN wire) or CCTV wire or simple 3 core flexible electrical wire.
  5. Now Mount the device on the wall.
  6. Unscrew the Connectors and make the connections as described in installation circuit.
  7. Connect 220V AC supply at input terminals. Connect Phase wire at P and Neutral wire at N. Do not interchange these connections.
  8. Connect motor starter input terminals at output of controller device.
  9. Finally screw the connectors tightly.

Note: It is recommended to connect the Live wire to Water Level Controller device through a switch.
