  • Operating instructions for water sensors | float switches | accessories

💧 Mini folding float switch – compact, precise & durable

SCHABUS's mini-folding float switches ("broken finger" type) are handcrafted and individually tested – for maximum quality and reliability in level monitoring.

They are maintenance-free , wear -free and are ideal for installation on the side of containers or tanks .

⚙️ Switching function selectable by rotation

The desired switching mode can be determined by simply turning the float 180° :

  • Normally open function (contact closes when the level rises)

  • Opener function (contact opens when the level rises)

Mounting is done on the side using a sealing sleeve . A firmly attached lock nut ensures a secure fit.

🔌 High-quality workmanship & molded technology

The 2.5 m long connection cable is soldered with a durable Meder reed contact and completely encapsulated with Wepuran® – for absolute water resistance and a long service life.

📏 Special cable lengths are available on request!

🧩 Typical areas of application

The mini folding float switch is ideal for monitoring water levels in:

  • Tanks & Cisterns

  • Wells & pump sumps

  • Containers of all kinds

  • Control or signaling applications in building services

⚙️ Technical note & connection

🔌 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.

📏 Cable extension up to 50 meters possible
The factory-installed cable length can be extended up to 50 m . The recommended cross-section is 2 × 0.14 mm² .

⚠️ Notes on cable routing and area of ​​application
The LIYY cables used are only temporarily waterproof and, according to the manufacturer , are flame-retardant, low-adhesion, and self-extinguishing . They are resistant to oils, greases, coolants, and lubricants , but are not suitable for permanent water contact.

⚠️ Safety note: The LIYY cables must never be laid parallel to 230 V mains cables to avoid interference and safety risks.

[caption id="attachment_21251" align="alignleft" width="134"] Circuit diagram with freewheeling diode[/caption]

When using third-party power supplies , it is necessary to connect a freewheeling diode (e.g. 1N4148) in parallel to the relay or contactor.

The function of the freewheeling diode is to suppress voltage spikes that occur when the relay is turned off. This minimizes current flow and voltage, thus protecting the sensitive reed contacts.

🔄 How do I choose between opener and closed functions?

By simply 180° rotation of the float When installing, you determine whether the contact should be activated when the water level rises close or open should. This makes the float switch particularly flexible.

🛠️ How is the float switch installed?

The installation takes place sideways into the container via a Sealing sleeve. A lock nut reliably fixes the float switch in the desired position.

💧 Is the float switch waterproof?

Yes. The connection cable is with a waterproof cast reed contact equipped. The potting takes place with Wepuran® for maximum protection in damp environments.

📏 Is the float switch also available with longer cables?

Yes. We produce on request individual cable lengths suitable for your application. The default is a 2.5m LiYY cable installed.

🔋 What electrical values ​​apply to the switching contact?

  • Schaltleistung: max. 10 W
  • Spannung: bis 25 V AC / 60 V DC
  • Strom: bis 500 mA
    Bei sehr niedrigen Strömen (< 1 mA) sind sogar bis zu 1 Billion Schaltspiele möglich.

🧪 What is the float switch particularly suitable for?

To Level monitoring in liquid containers How:

  • Tanks
  • Zisternen
  • Brunnen
  • Pumpensümpfen
    Er ist optimal für Anwendungen, bei denen kleine Bauform, lange Lebensdauer und flexibler Schaltmodus gefragt sind.

🔥 What are the properties of the connecting cable?

That used LiYY control cable is according to the manufacturer:

  • kurzzeitig wasserfest
  • flammwidrig & selbstverlöschend
  • adhäsionsarm
  • beständig gegen Öle, Fette und Kühlmittel

💧 Are the cables waterproof? The used LIYY cables are only waterproof for a short time and not suitable for permanent contact with water. We recommend special sensors for permanently humid or wet environments.

⚙️ Do I need to use a freewheeling diode when connecting a third-party device? Yes, absolutely! If you connect a third-party network device (e.g. an external relay or contactor) to the potential-free output, a Freewheeling diode (e.g. 1N4148) be connected in parallel to the coil. It protects the sensitive reed contacts from voltage peaks that occur when switching off.

🔧 What effect does a freewheeling diode have at the relay output? When a relay or contactor is switched off, briefly high voltage peaks (induction voltage) occur. A Freewheeling diode dissipates this and thus prevents damage to the switching contacts of the water detector - particularly important for longevity and functional reliability.

❓ Why can't LIYY cables be laid parallel to 230 V mains cables?

⚠️ Important: Laying LIYY cables and 230V power cables in parallel can result in Interference, electromagnetic influences and in the worst case to Security risks lead. Please always maintain separate cable ducts or sufficient distance.
