BW - RH control to keep cistern full The "RH" series BW electrode control will control the water level in your cistern by turning the well pump on to fill the cistern, and turning it off when the cistern is full. The BW control is available in 230 volt and 115 volt to match your pump voltage. The electrodes are suspended in the cistern to signal the control to turn on when the cistern needs water, and to turn off when the cistern is full. |

The next electrode is above the ground electrode and provides the power on signal when the water level drops below it.This turns your pump on to refill the cistern. The upper electrode is set at a level of full and
turns the pump off when the cistern is full. |

Installation Instructions for the "RH" BW Control
The 1500D sensor control will control your pump to keep a cistern full of water. It does so by turning the pump on when the water level drops in the cistern, and turns the pump off when the cistern is full.
Proper wiring of this unit is important to allow it to perform properly. The unit is wired between your power source and your pump control box.
The wire from your power source will have 2 wires that are
hot with electricity. These will be referred to as L-1 and L-2.
L-1 will connect to the BW terminal #3
L-2 will connect to the BW terminal #4
From the BW #3, install a jumper wire to BW #5
From the BW #4, go into the pump control box to L-2 input
From the BW #6, go into the pump control box to L-1 input
Now it is time to set up your stainless steel electrodes for
in the cistern.
There are 3 electrodes used in the proper installation. It is recommended that you
leave the wire above each electrode hanging free in the cistern, at least 6" to
12" to prevent deposits from forming on the electrode that could cause false readings
to the sensor control. It is also recommended that you place a bit of silicone gel on the
top of the electrode cover where the wire goes in, to prevent water from getting into the
top of the cap and being held there when the water drains from the bottom of the
electrode. This will prevent false readings caused by water in the cap.
BW sensor #7 is jumper wired to BW sensor #9.
BW sensor #9 then goes to the upper level electrode in the cistern. This electrode is
the one which turns the pump off when the cistern is full.
BW sensor #8 goes to your low level electrode. When the water level in the cistern
drops to this level, the control signals the pump to turn on.
BW sensor #10 goes to a liquid ground. This should be hung in the cistern somewhere
below the lower level pump turn on electrode. NOTE connecting this terminal to a
ground stake will not provide a proper ground, and may make the control malfunction.
Ground must be to liquid.
Need an alarm package to alert you when the cistern is low? We offer the #1005835 Tank Alert XT low water alarm package which can be used indoor or out. . .$ 169.00
