Here's a couple of shots of the prototype.
Yeah, I know, binding posts?!?? The barrier strips I ordered were delayed. ..
Class 2 control circuit running a relay as a drop out safety circuit, tank empty = switch off, power to the outlet goes off and the feed pump shuts off.
The board is 79 mm by 40 mm and requires a 5 mm standoff.
I need a plastic plate that mounts in an outlet box, using the screw holes a switch uses to mount to the box, that will hold the board so that the front mounted LED presents thru the front cover.
I figure that I can use the mounting board as the voltage separator as well as a mounting board solving both issues at once with a single part and place the barrier strip thru the (out)side of the enclosure to fit everything in a 2 gang box.
The prototype is only 10 amp rated because I used a 18 gauge cord, 14 gauge would give me 15 amp limit imposed by the male GFCI plug on the cord and switching to a higher rated GFCI and 12 gauge wire would give it a 20 amp rating.
The locations vary widely and are scattered across the country and the panel configuration varies between them, my plan is to use a relatively small box with external mounting feet so the field tech doesn't need to open the box evereverever.
A few screws, wire up the safety switch, plug in the pump and plug in the control, all done with no muss or fuss.
All the required protections in one box. ..
The fuse holder on the bottom is a motor protection fuse called for by the pump manufacturer(none of the existing installs have the motor protection fuse, no one noticed the requirement. ...).
