There
are two types of controllers that use the dual
float switch
Deluxe
Dual Float Controller
(Model # DFC2)
The Deluxe Controller monitors
pump and power conditions, and sounds an alarm
when a problem is detected. The warning signals
are described below. In addition, it begins
the pumping cycle when either float rises 1/4",
and runs the pump an additional 10 seconds after
the float returns to its original position.
This controller (model # DFC2) is included with
all S3 series and
S5 Series pumps.

Dual
Float Controller
(Model # DFC1)
The Dual Float and Controller
is included with the S2
series pumps. It turns on the pump when
water lifts the float switch, and runs the pump
for an additional 10 seconds to completely empty
the sump pit once the float returns to its original
position.

Both controllers can be purchased
separately, and can be used to upgrade other
brands of pumps by simply plugging the pump
into the piggy-back switches.
