Hi all,
This is my first attempt at anything involving electronics since my school days so please forgive any ignorance.
Challenge: I have a 240V, 2Amp Pump which I would like to pump once a tank is full of cider, so it pumps when it is at or above that level but not otherwise.
Due to having water with electrics I figured having 240V inside the acid liquid (well 3.5ph cider) was not the smartest of moves. So I planned to have a low volt switching circuit and a higher volt circuit.
Equipment:
Float switch: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vertical-...loat-Switch-/271665233459?hash=item3f40827e33
Relay: https://maplindownloads.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/n13aw-6706.pdf
Have some step down transformers, batteries and wires also and an extension lead I plan to use to plug the motor into.
I had it quite clear in my head that the float switch would switch the relay at a low voltage, which would then engage the higher voltage circuit. However now the relay has arrived it has 8 pins and none say what I expected on - so am stuck.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Ben
