Operating Principle; General Operation - TMC Aquarium V2 Auto Top Up Compact Manual

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The float switch consists of a free moving float on a shaft. When the float reaches the bottom
of the shaft it will activate a contact which will switch on the pump, allowing water to be
pumped into the aquarium or sump until the level is restored, moving the float up and, in
turn, shutting off the pump. With the V
float switch acts as a back-up, ensuring no malfunction occurs due to a stuck switch on the
first float switch.

GENERAL OPERATION

1. Determine your ideal water level within
the aquarium or sump.
2. Place the float switch in a suitable position
in the aquarium or sump so that the float
is at its maximum height on the shaft.
3. Ensure all connections are secure (see
"General Installation" above).
4. Check on a daily basis to ensure the sump
or freshwater container is not running low
on water and top up as required.
6. Maintain regularly for continued, reliable
operation.
7. When carrying out aquarium maintenance
or acclimating animals in the aquarium,
unplug the V Auto Top Up Compact
2
System to prevent any unwanted activation
due to an altered aquarium/sump water
level.
8. Adjust the float switch position accordingly
after maintenance and reconnect power
again.
Please Note: The larger the surface area of
the chamber or aquarium the float switch is
installed in, a higher volume will be evaporated
before the switch will be activated. Ideally
place in the return pump chamber of a sump.
