Function and use of Tank Full Switch

With a Tank Full Switch, the pump works autonomously, saving you time and effort.

The Tank Full Switch is a useful accessory to use with tanks. A float switch detects the level of water in a tank or container.

It floats on top of the water surface and functions as a mechanical switch as the water level goes up or down.

When the tank is full, the accessory sends a signal to the controller to turn the pump Off. When the tank is empty, the switch sends a signal to the controller to restart the pump and fill the tank.

Connection to the controller

The Tank Full Switch accessory connects to the controller input socket marked with the following symbol, which is printed on the housing of the controller.

Remove the protective cap from the controller’s input socket.

Take the cable with the Tank Full Switch connector and make sure the pins are properly aligned with the controller socket.

Screw the connector in firmly until it stops turning.


Below is a video showing how to correctly connect the accessory to the controller. (This video shows the S1-200 controller, the connection also applies to the S1-700 controller)

Activation

The Tank Full Switch accesory can be activated in two ways:

  • Using the S-Connect application (with a Smartphone or tablet) or
  • without using the S-Connect app, in case you do not have a Smartphone at hand.

To activate the Tank Full Switch via the app using a Smartphone, refer to the article below for more information:

  • Managing sensor inputs and accessories with the S-Connect app

FlashingSolid
  • The Full Tank Switch accesory is installed and has detected a full tank
  • Check water level and confirm tank is actually full.
  • Make sure the accessory is installed properly.
  • Pump will restart automatically once tank is no longer full.
  • There is no Full Tank Switch accessory or jumper plug(1)connected, but the app shows the event “Tank full switch”.
  • Open S-Connect App → Advanced Settings → Check if the option "Tank Switch" is active. If yes, deactivate it, otherwise install a Full Tank Switch accessory or a jumper plug on the S1 controller.
  • Pump will remain stopped until the option "Tank Switch" in the app is deactivated.
  • The Full Tank Switch accesory is not working.
  • Verify that the accessory is not physically damaged or has not been exposed to lightning. Test with a new Full Tank Switch accessory or a jumper plug.
  • Contact your distributor to replace the damaged Full Tank Switch accessory and extension cable.
  • If the Full Tank Switch is not damaged, the accessory will work properly once the accessory installation and pump settings have been corrected.
  • Check that the plugs are properly connected and clean. Ensure there is no dirt or water inside any plug (including extension cables, refer also to the "Extension Cable manual").
  • Verify that the Full Tank Switch accessory is correctly activated. Follow the steps to activate the accessory (described above on this webpage) either using the S-Connect App or manually without using the App.
  • Verify correct installation and positioning of the Full Tank Switch in water. Check the actual water level. Refer to the "Full Tank Switch manual".
  • If an accessory extension cable is used, remove the extension cable and connect the Full Tank Switch accessory directly to the controller. Check all plugs and clean if necessary.
  • The controller input might be damaged. Replace the accessory with a jumper plug. If the issue persists, the controller input is likely damaged.

(1) Note:The jumper plug is not included in the S1 system. You can order it separately from your distributor using part code 19-005490.
