Automatic water level controller wiring
Clear wiring diagram and guide for water pump automatic ON/OFF using a floatless relay, ensuring reliable pump control without mechanical floats.

floatless water level controller
Float less relay system is a method of automatic control of water pumps by measuring the level of water in electricity using probes and water level. Based on the presence of water, it switches through relay contacts to turn on or off the pump motor, permitting full automatic on/off control of the pump with no need of mechanical floats.
Formula & Table Summary:
Basic operation:Pump ON when Water Level < Low Probe; Pump OFF when Level ≥ High Probe
Relay coil: Energized by floatless relay controller output.
Sensor inputs: Electrodes/probes wired to relay input terminals.
Power: 230 V AC supply with earth grounding.
Safety: Use fuse/breaker for pump circuit and ensure waterproof probe wiring.
Component | Connection | Notes |
---|---|---|
Power Supply | L, N, Earth to relay/controller | 230 V AC typical |
Low & High Level Probes | Input terminals on floatless relay | Detect water presence/absence |
Relay Coil | Controlled by floatless relay output | Switches pump circuit |
Relay Contacts | Switch pump power line | Normally open or closed |
Pump Motor | Powered via relay contacts | Starts/stops based on water level |
level sensor relay wiring
Water pump automatic ON/OFF, which is driven by a float less relay, regulates in the water pumping without using a mechanical float switch. The float less relay detects water level through electrodes / probes mounted in the tank. The relay makes the pump start filling when the water depth is below the low probe. The relay would cut the pump to avoid overflow as soon as the water reaches the high probe. Electronics There are power supply connections, relay coil, and electrode sensors. The benefits of using this system include having no moving parts, diminished maintenance, and enhancement of reliability. The relay safely switches the circuit of the pump motor with the use of the appropriate fuse and earth connection. This wiring guide provides technicians and home installers with ways to install an efficient automatic pumping system that is long-lasting and precise.
water tank relay wiring
Low Probe Status | High Probe Status | Pump State | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|
Dry (No Water) | Dry (No Water) | ON | Pump starts to fill tank |
Wet (Water Present) | Wet (Water Present) | OFF | Pump stops to prevent overflow |
Dry | Wet | ON/OFF per logic | Depends on relay internal control |
Frequently Asked Questions - Automatic water level controller wiring:
What is a floatless relay?
An electronic device that detects water level without mechanical floats to control pumps automatically.
How does a floatless relay detect water levels?
By sensing electrical conductivity between probes placed at different tank levels.
What are the advantages over float switches?
No moving parts, less maintenance, reliable in dirty water, and more accurate control.
Can I wire a floatless relay myself?
Only if you understand electrical safety and wiring; otherwise hire a professional.
What power supply is needed?
Typically 230 V AC supply with proper grounding and fuse protection.
How many probes are used?
Usually two: one for low-level detection and one for high-level detection.
What happens if probes fail?
Pump may run continuously or fail to start, risking overflow or dry run.
Is a relay needed with the floatless controller?
Yes, to switch the pump motor safely as per relay specifications.
Can I use the relay for different pump types?
Yes, but ensure relay ratings match the pump motor current and voltage.
How to test the floatless relay system?
Simulate water presence at probes and verify pump ON/OFF response accordingly.
