For SHT 5000, SHT 5001 and SHT 5002 – reliable, maintenance-free and ready for immediate use
The suspended float switch is the straightforward solution for reliably detecting rising water levels – without the need for complicated installation. Specially developed for the SHT 5000, SHT 5001, and SHT 5002 water detectors, it is simply suspended in shafts, tanks, or barrels via a cable. The integrated weight ensures that the switch always hangs vertically in the medium.
Inside, a wear-free reed switch operates at low voltages, achieving up to one trillion switching cycles. The float switches reliably at a water level of approximately 4 cm. Simply flipping the float body allows switching between normally closed and normally closed functions.
Wherever conventional water sensors are prone to false alarms due to high levels of humidity, dirt, or condensation, the suspended float switch demonstrates its strengths – for example, in pump sumps, wells, cisterns, or water tanks. The float detects the water level directly – without any sensitive electronics in contact with the medium.
The 6-meter-long, encapsulated LiYY cable is securely held in place by a PG cable gland. Its length is infinitely adjustable, temporarily waterproof, flame-retardant, and highly resistant to oils, greases, and coolants. If you require a different cable length, we will be happy to manufacture the float switch on request – entirely custom-made.
With the SCHABUS water refill system , manually refilling ponds, pools, or reservoirs is a thing of the past. In conjunction with the SHT 5002 water detector , the suspended float switch reliably detects low or high water levels and automatically controls the pump or valve.
🌞 Especially during longer periods of heat or during vacation time, this is a convenient and safe solution to keep the water level in the pond or pool stable - without constant refilling or checking.
If the first float switch (S1) drops to its lower level, a pump is activated or a solenoid valve is opened via the connected water detector. If the water level subsequently rises again and reaches the second float switch (S2), the water refill is automatically stopped .
The system is maintenance-free, reliable, and can be installed in just a few steps – ideal for individual applications in gardens, cisterns, or technical shafts.

🔌 Connection to the following water detectors required (please order separately)
SHT 5000 or SHT 5001 or SHT 5002 from Elektrotechnik Schabus.
Cabling via thin, unshielded LiYY control cable (2 × 0.14 mm²) – max. 50 m cable length per scanner.
The factory-installed sensor or switch cable can be extended up to 50 m if required. A thin control cable with a cross-section of max. 2 × 0.14 mm² (LIYY type) must be used.
💡 Important: Larger cross-sections increase the cable's electrical capacitance. This can lead to false alarms or malfunctions – therefore, only thin control cables may be used!
When connecting several sensors in parallel, the lengths of the individual cables are added together (e.g. max. 20 m + 30 m).
The LIYY control cables are only temporarily waterproof and according to the manufacturer:
→ flame-retardant , self-extinguishing , low-adhesion
→ largely resistant to oils, greases, coolants and lubricants
Not suitable for permanent water contact or outdoor use without protection .
The cables must never be laid parallel to 230 V cables to avoid interference and safety risks .
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
An incorrect electrical connection can destroy the sensitive reed contacts and thus cause a malfunction – in the worst case, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Please therefore note:
No direct connection to inductive loads (e.g. relays, solenoid valves)
No direct connection to capacitive loads (e.g. PLC/PCS – see our “active” water sensors and float switches) or long cables > 50 m
Permissible switching capacity must not be exceeded
👉 For inductive loads, protection by means of an RC element or freewheeling diode is mandatory.
