Working

  • 1 Empty R1 tank: The contacts of the upper (1) and lower (2) level switches are closed and energizing the (A1/A2) coil of the contactor 1, that remain energized by the contacts 13/14, turning the pump on.
  • 2 The lower level of the tank R1 rises and open the lower (2) level switch contact, but the contact keep energized by the closed contact of the upper (1) level switch and by the contacts 13/14 of contactor 1.
  • 3 The upper (1) level switch contact opens when the R1 tank is filled up, turning the pump off.
  • 4 With lack of water in the R2 tank, the protection level switch (3) turning the contactor 3 off.
