As the title suggests, i'm looking to wire a float switch to a relay.
Here's what i have & what i know...
I have the following:
*12v float switch
*240v Eheim pump
*12v lugged power supply adaptor (input240v/output 12v)
*Relay 12vdc
So basically, i need the float switch to switch the the power to the pump off when the water level in my aquarium gets too high. I understand the very basic concept of how it all works.
I know that 4 of the 14 pins will be used on the relay.
2 of them from the 'load'.. the 240v pump
& 2 of them from the 12v adaptor/float switch..
The wiring diagram is the basic layout (obviously the relay is different to the one i will be using)
I just need to know which wires go to which of the 14 pins.
In a nutshell;
*12v wire + goes to pin ....
*12v wire - goes to pin....
*240v wire from pump to relay goes to pin.... (i understand pump wire (live/brown) will be spliced)
*240v wire from relay to plug goes to pin....
So using the diagram, (i now know it's the brown wire not the blue that will be spliced), which of the wires go to which pins...
Apologies for my lack of knowledge but that is why i was hoping for some advice, maybe a diagram that could help me...
Many thanks,
Kyle.
