BCS Float Switch Pin Assignment

[JimVG]

Hello,

I am using 2 wires of a 3-wire 22 gauge cable for float switches. I have XLR connectors at the control box and M12 quick-dissconects at the float switch. My float switches are the 1.5" TC stainless side mount type.

Can someone inform me of the correct XLR/M12 pin assignment?

I have tried various combinations without success. Is there an easy method of testing the float switch open/closed position from within the BCS software?

Your help is much appreciated!

How float switches are integrated into you panel logic can vary. It could be as simple as being inline with the output from the BCS going to the Ssr. Or it could be integrated into bcs logic in some way

Float switches are simple open/close circuits. One pin should be tied to +5V and the other to the DIN desired. Follow a schematic - don't assume that connector pins mean anything.

Thanks for the information. I have figured out the pin assignments for both XLR and M12 connections. I will post if that could be useful for others.
