mkotlarz Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Anyone know if I can use this http://www.grisk.com/specialty/2808abse ... ector.html with an I/O Linc? Also any suggestions on how I would wire it would be great. I am looking to suspend it just under the lip of my sump pit to see when the water goes over the limit allowed byt the float switch. Thanks! Mike Link to comment
Brian H Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 If I read the manuals correctly. It normally is used to detect when a liquid level fall below its mounting point. In your case it would be reversed. So in theory the Normally Closed contacts would be open until the level was again high enough to cover the sensor probes. You could wire the common and normally closed contacts to the I/OLinc's sensor input and have it send a change of state when the detector detects water. You could also use a second float switch mounted higher than the one on the pump. Wired to an I/OLinc. There maybe others here that have used other water detectors and may have added information for you. Link to comment
mkotlarz Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 OK So I connect both the common and normally closed wires to the SNS screw? So I just tape off and dont use the Normally open wire then? Thanks for the help Mike Link to comment
Brian H Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yes and if I got my logic backwards. You could use common and normally open and tape the normally closed lead. Link to comment
