Liquid Level Switch Control Logic

This document discusses liquid level switch control logic. It describes how a tilt switch using a glass tube partially filled with mercury works as an electrical tilt switch to detect sewage levels. It then asks a series of questions about what would happen if different components in the system, such as the level switches or motor contact, failed in various ways.

Liquid Level Switch Control Logic

A form of liquid level switch called a tilt switch is often used for detecting sewage level in “lift
stations” where sewage collected from homes via gravity is pumped out of the collection sump
to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) (usually located miles away):
