Alt-E Tips 
- Q. Can I extend the cable on this switch?
- A. Yes. Most switches come with a cable that is about 10 feet long. You can extend the switch cable in most cases up to 2000 feet. But if you are going to extend the cable, you can only do it if you are using a control box, also known as a linear current booster. The reason for this is that with a control box the current in the electrical circuit from the solar array to the pump is not carried in the switch. In other words, the switch only sends a signal to the box, then the box will open or close the circuit. Without the box, the wire from the switch would be carrying the current (amps) of the electrical circuit, and the wire connected to the switch is too small to carry it, so you would get excessive power loss. You could also run the risk of burning up the wire and potentially causing a fire hazard. If you want to extend the cable more than 2000 feet, you might try a ball valve and a pressure switch. In that arrangement, you could avoid a wire run between the pump controller and the water tank.

SunPumpsGF-100 Sensor Float Switch
(for use with SunPumps Submersible Pump Controllers)
Sensor float switches are used for low current devices such as magnetic contactors or pump control panels. The GF-100 is a low cost, three wire sensor float switch and is normally open in the down position. It is a mechanical activated switch and is NSF approved for potable water.
If used with a SunPumps PC-Series controller it can be either a Pump-Up or a Pump-Down switch because the controller has a logic reversing circuit allowing easy logic change for any desired application.
If used with the Grundfos CU-200 controller, it becomes a Pump-Up switch. It will turn the pump off when the tank is full.
Maximum power rating: 5 Amps 125/250 VAC 50/60 Hz
