Rule 3-Way Panel Lighted Switch

The Rule 3-Way Panel Lighted Switch is a device that is designed to control pumps that come equipped with an automatic float switch. This switch has a toggle that can be set to three different positions – automatic, off, or manual. It also has a special feature called a “fail-safe” spring return, which means that when the toggle is in the manual position, it will automatically return to the off position.

The panel of this switch is made of black stainless steel and features a red indicator light and a fuse holder. The indicator light is used to let you know if the switch is turned on or off, while the fuse holder is a convenient way to protect the switch from electrical surges or faults.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the automatic function work?

The automatic function of the Rule 3-Way Panel Lighted Switch allows the switch to operate based on the water level detected by the automatic float switch. When the water level rises to a certain point, the switch will turn on the pump. When the water level drops below that point, the switch will turn off the pump.

2. What happens if I set the switch to the manual position?

When you set the switch to the manual position, the pump will remain on regardless of the water level. However, the “fail-safe” spring return feature ensures that the switch will automatically return to the off position once you release the toggle.

3. Is the indicator light always on when the switch is turned on?

Yes, the red indicator light on the Rule 3-Way Panel Lighted Switch is designed to be lit when the switch is turned on, providing a visual confirmation of its status.

4. Can I use a fuse other than the one provided in the fuse holder?

We recommend using the fuse provided with the switch, as it is specifically chosen to work with the switch and provide optimal protection. However, if you need to replace the fuse, make sure to use a fuse with the same rating to ensure proper functionality.
