6. Setup and Installation
The FTVOGUE Water Level Controller offers flexible installation options, including screw positioning or mounting on an electric box track. Proper wiring is crucial for correct operation.
6.1 Wiring Diagram
Refer to the following diagram for correct wiring connections. Ensure all connections are secure before applying power.
Image: A detailed wiring diagram illustrating connections for the FTVOGUE Water Level Controller with a pump and water tanks. It shows input power (AC 220V), sensor connections (K1, K2, M), and output connections (N.O., N.C., N).
6.2 Mounting
Mount the controller in a dry, protected location using screws or by attaching it to a compatible electric box track. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
6.3 Sensor Placement
Position the liquid level sensors at the desired high and low points within your tank or reservoir. Ensure sensors are securely fixed and free from obstructions that might interfere with accurate level detection.
7. Operating Instructions
Once installed and wired correctly, the controller will automatically monitor liquid levels and operate the connected pump as configured.
7.1 Automatic Level Control
The controller will activate the pump when the liquid level drops below the lower sensor and deactivate it when the level reaches the upper sensor, maintaining the liquid within the set range.
7.2 Adjusting Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the controller can be adjusted to suit different liquid types or environmental conditions. Use the provided small screwdriver for this adjustment.

- Remove the plastic cover of the controller.
- Locate the very small screw inside the unit.
- Turn the screw clockwise to reduce sensitivity.
- Turn the screw counterclockwise to increase sensitivity.
8. Maintenance
- Regularly inspect the controller and sensors for any signs of damage or wear.
- Keep the controller unit clean and free from dust and moisture.
- Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Clean the liquid level sensors as needed to prevent buildup that could affect accuracy.
9. Troubleshooting
- Controller not powering on: Check the input voltage supply and ensure all power connections are correct and secure.
- Pump not activating/deactivating: Verify sensor placement and cleanliness. Check wiring to the pump and ensure the load power specifications are not exceeded. Adjust sensitivity if necessary.
- Inaccurate level detection: Clean the sensors thoroughly. Ensure sensors are not obstructed and are placed correctly at the desired levels. Adjust sensitivity.
- Overload issues: If using an inductive load (motor, solenoid valve) or a three-phase load, ensure an additional AC contactor is used as specified in the specifications.
