Start or stop at a water level.
Describe where the level is detected, the required control action and the existing controller. Include the water characteristics and the proposed sensing position.
Describe a level-control taskSensing & control inputs
Level and pressure sensing
for pump controls
A sensor has to suit both the water task and the controller input. Identify the measurement or switching function, then include the connection and signal details in the request.
Pressure sensing
Keep the signal
with the connection.
This pressure-sensor and cable reference helps identify the component type. The measuring range, output, thread and cable specification must match the controller and installation.
Series reference image. Confirm the appearance, dimensions and specification of the model quoted for your order.
Provide the pressure input.
State the required measuring range, process connection and controller input. For existing equipment, include the sensor marking and its electrical requirements.
Describe pressure feedbackIdentify an existing sensing part.
Record the current part number, signal, connection and cable length. A similar body or connector does not establish electrical compatibility.

Controller model, accepted signal and intended action
Provide the actual signal type if known. A sensor shown with a control in a catalogue is not proof that it is included or suitable for every version.

Level switching and pressure feedback
are different inputs.
| Component type | Typical task | Confirm with the controller |
|---|---|---|
| Float switch | Level-based switching in a tank or other suitable location. | Contact arrangement, switching duty, cable, location and controller input. |
| Level probes | Level detection where the liquid and sensing method are suitable. | Probe arrangement, controller compatibility, water characteristics and intended action. |
| Pressure transducer | Continuous pressure feedback for a compatible control. | Supply, signal type, measuring range, process connection and settings. |
| Pressure switch | An on/off action at a pressure condition. | Switching contacts, settings and accepted control input. |
These are enquiry categories, not a claim that every control supports each type. Low water at the source and a full receiving tank are separate control requirements.

Tell us what needs to be detected.
Include the controller and any existing sensor details. A specific part can then be considered against the required interfaces.
