This state-of-the-art device is meticulously designed to manage pumps with capacities up to ½ hp at 120VAC and 1hp at 220VAC, making it a versatile solution for a variety of pumping needs. The ATER Float's internal switch is distinguished by its ability to handle high amperage loads, a capability that is limited only by the gauge of the cord it is connected to. This feature alone sets the ATER switch apart, providing an unparalleled level of reliability and performance.
Recognizing the importance of durability and user confidence in such a critical component, the ATER float switch comes with an impressive 5-year warranty. This generous offer reflects the our confidence in the switch's quality and the long-term value it delivers to the end user. Vibration or turbulence within the water, often caused by incoming flows and vacuum relief valves that discharge back into the tank, are notorious for causing rapid cycling in lower-quality pump floats. However, the ATER wide-angle float switch is engineered to be insensitive to these small agitations, thereby enhancing the pump's operational efficiency and lifespan.
In a bid to guarantee the utmost reliability, ATER floats undergo an ultrasonic welding process at the seam. This meticulous manufacturing technique ensures that the units are completely leak-proof, thereby preventing any potential failure that could arise from water ingress. Additionally, the top cavity of each unit, through which the wire enters, is treated with a resin injection to further ensure that no water infiltration occurs. This attention to detail is critical in maintaining the switch's performance and longevity.
To ensure optimal electrical conductivity and robust operation, large copper contacts are utilized within the switch. These contacts are strategically placed on opposing sides and engage through a unique movement, ensuring efficient and reliable operation under various conditions. Such design innovations contribute to the ATER float switch's superior performance and the ability to offer a longer warranty with maximum durability.
