INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Clarke Float Switch, which is simple to install and
designed for trouble free operation and a long life.
The FS1is a plastic float switch moulded to 3 core cable. Actuation is via a
roller ball and micro-switch within the switch.
The microswitch assembly inside the float, axially mounted in line with the
weight, changes contacts according to the float’s position. Therefore as the
liquid level drops or rises slowly, a pump or flow control suitably connected
can be switched on or off to maintain an average level of the liquid. By
connecting only one side of the switch, the unit can be also used to fill or
empty a tank or reservoir as required.
Before attempting to use this product, please read this manual thoroughly and
follow the instructions carefully. In doing so you will ensure the safety of yourself
and that of others around you, and you can look forward to your purchase
giving you long and satisfactory service.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

INSTALLATION
To ensure the efficient function
of the switch it is necessary to fix
the electrical cable inside the
tank as shown in fig:1.
The length of the cable section
between the Pivot Point
(counterweight) and the float
will determine the length of
time the pump runs between
starting and stopping.
The switch must be free from
obstructions within the area of
the float arc.
No joins should be made to the
cable that may become
immersed in water.
HEIGHT COUNTERWEIGHT INSTALLATION
For correct counterweight
installation refer to the
procedure as in fig: 2.
1. Insert the cable into the
counterweight from the
conical shaped end, turning
it as shown. This will result in
the detachment of the
plastic ring inserted in the
mouth (if required aid
detachment by using a
screwdriver) Place the ring
at the point of the cable
where the counterweight is
to be fixed.
2. Fix the counterweight onto
the ring using moderate pressure and turning it as shown.
