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

grundfos.....does anyone know if the wiring to the float switch
carries current or not. 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.....<br>
Anyone know off the top of their head?<br>
Thanks....<br clear="all">
