OPERATION
Semi-automatic pushbutton tank fill device fills tanks to a pre-determined level by pressing a button. After that, your pump will start, or solenoid will open to fill the tank. Saves time by not tying an operator to stand by the tank while if fills. Included emergency high level float switch prevents overfilling of tanks. If the level reaches this float, the buzzer sounds and LED flashes, and there is a redundant valve shutoff.
INSTALLATION
The depth of the fill point is adjustable by hand by loosening the thumbscrew and sliding the pipe to the appropriate depth. Maximum working depth of float switch is 10 inches below the mount.
Plugs into AC power and controls a solenoid valve or pump. We stock ASCO red hat solenoid valves because its the most common brand, but we will connect to any valve you specify or supply by request.
CONSTRUCTION
Polypropylene pipe and float switch is impervious to most chemicals. Its protected inside our unique float guard that eliminates the cause of float failures which is mechanical interference or damage. There are two float switches: one turns off the solenoid valve when the tank is filled, the high float switch is an emergency shutoff and alarm.
SOLENOID VALVE
Each pushbutton tank fill is supplied with a solenoid valve to make installation easy. We stock ASCO “Red Hat” brand solenoid valves. The valve is pre-wired to the unit with 10 ft SJOOW (rubber-jacketed) cord to make installation easy. Select valve size in ordering options in the order box below.
