Kirpal, If you use 18/2 shielded tray cable (with all the proper insulation ratings of course) you can run that for thousands of feet. 700' is about our average run on the majority of our pump systems and it works well for us. My wire is by Omni, part number A21802. Be sure to ground the traveler wire inside the CU200 and bury the cable if possible. FYI...our longest run is 7,000 feet. Been installed for 8 years and working fine on a Grundfos pump.

The float switch has 3 #14AWG wires.......I need to add about 700 feet of wire from the CU 200 controller to the storage tank.....I want to use #18AWG......is this okay? most float switches I have used do not carry current they are simply signal wires and can use very small gauge for long distance..... |
