Scope of delivery
For SHT 5000 / 5001 / 5002 – reliable, compact, flexible
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 .
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
Tanks, cisterns, wells
Pump shafts and collection tanks
Wherever conventional sensors would be too humid
Ideal for permanently installed water detectors from SCHABUS
👉 for protection when used in unprotected outdoor waters – from small leaves, branches and the like
Dirt trap basket article 300320 including matching mounting bracket
🔌 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.
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.
