💧 Mini plastic float switch (changeover contact)

For SHT 5000 / 5001 / 5002 – reliable, compact, flexible


⚙️ Ideal for all types of water levels

This mini float switch is the perfect complement to our SHT 5000, SHT 5001, and SHT 5002 water detectors . It reliably detects liquid levels from 4 cm and reports the status via a long-lasting reed contact .

🛡️ Safe & maintenance-free

  • Maintenance-free and wear-free thanks to contactless technology

  • Easy to install: Order the mounting bracket (item 300787) at the same time! – ideal for narrow containers or shafts

  • Liquid-tight encapsulated , no loose contacts


🧰 Typical areas of application

  • Tanks, cisterns, wells

  • Pump shafts and collection tanks

  • Wherever conventional sensors would be too humid

  • Ideal for permanently installed water detectors from SCHABUS


🧩 Accessory tip

👉 for protection when used in unprotected outdoor waters – from small leaves, branches and the like

⚙️ 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 (3 × 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 3 × 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.

⚠️ What do I need to consider when connecting the electrical system?

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.

🔧 How do I connect the mini float switch?

It is connected to the water detector via the included 2.5 m LiYY cable – simply plug it in and off you go.

↕️ Can I reverse the switching function?

With the float switch changer, the reverse switching function is created by the corresponding connection.

The float contains a ring magnet, and the shaft contains a Meder reed contact encapsulated in Wepuran®. When the float moves upwards, the reed contact closes.

🌊 At what water level does the float switch?

Starting fromLevel of 4 cmthe contact is activated – ideal for early warnings.

🧰 Do I have to buy the mounting bracket separately?

Yes, for secure attachment we recommend theMounting bracket (item no. 300787)as an accessory.

Mini float switches must always be operated vertically; a maximum deviation of 30° from the vertical axis is permitted. This deviation is reliably prevented by the mounting bracket.

🔌 Can the float switch also be used for other systems?

It is specifically optimized for SCHABUS water detectors, but can also be used in other systems with compatible values.

📏 Is there a float switch with a longer cable?

Yes! On request we produceSpecial lengthsentirely according to your specifications.

💧 Are the cables waterproof?
The usedLIYY cables are only temporarily waterproofand not suitable for permanent water contact. For permanently damp or wet environments, we recommend special sensors.

⚙️ Do I need to use a freewheeling diode when connecting a third-party device?
Yes, absolutely! If you connect a third-party power supply (e.g. an external relay or contactor) to the potential-free output, aFreewheeling diode (e.g. 1N4148)connected in parallel to the coil. This protects the sensitive reed contacts from voltage spikes that occur during shutdown.

🔧 What does a freewheeling diode do at the relay output?
When a relay or contactor is switched off, high voltage peaks (induction voltage) occur for a short time.Freewheeling diodediverts these 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:The parallel laying of LIYY cables and 230 V mains cables can lead toInterference, electromagnetic influencesand in the worst case toSecurity risksPlease always maintain separate cable ducts or sufficient distance.

⚠️ What do I need to consider when connecting the electrical system?

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
Aincorrect electrical connectioncan the sensitiveDestroy reed contactsand thereby cause a malfunction – in the worst case resulting in personal injury or property damage.

Please therefore note:

  • No direct connection toinductive loads(e.g. relays, solenoid valves)
  • No direct connection tocapacitive 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
