In modern water supply systems, automatic water level control has become essential for improving efficiency, reducing manual operation, and protecting pumps from dry running or overflow conditions. From residential water tanks to industrial water systems, reliable liquid level management directly affects system stability and equipment lifespan.
The ELECALL EDF-96A/B Automatic Water Level Controller is designed as a compact and intelligent water level control solution for automatic pump management and tank liquid level monitoring. With stable electronic control technology, automatic refill and drainage functions, and multiple wiring modes, the EDF-96A/B series is widely used in residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial water systems.
What Is the EDF-96A/B Automatic Water Level Controller?
The EDF-96A/B is an electronic liquid level controller that uses conductive probes to detect water levels inside tanks or reservoirs. Based on the detected water level, the controller automatically starts or stops pumps to maintain the desired water level.
Unlike traditional mechanical float switches, the EDF-96A/B uses:
- Electronic probe detection
- Intelligent control circuits
- Automatic pump switching
- Dry-run protection capability
- Overflow prevention logic
This design improves reliability, response speed, and long-term operational stability.
Working Principle
The EDF-96A/B controller works through conductive liquid level sensing.
Operation Process
- Electrodes are installed at different water levels inside the tank
- The controller detects conductivity between probes
- When the water level drops, the controller starts the pump
- When the water reaches the preset upper level, the controller stops the pump automatically
This fully automatic process enables stable unattended water supply management.
Main Features of EDF-96A/B
Intelligent Electronic Control
The EDF-96A/B uses integrated electronic control circuits for stable and accurate liquid level detection.
Advantages include:
- Fast response speed
- Stable switching performance
- Reduced mechanical wear
- Improved control precision
Compared with traditional float-based systems, electronic probe control reduces moving mechanical parts and improves long-term reliability.
Automatic Water Supply and Drainage
The controller supports:
- Automatic water replenishment
- Automatic drainage control
- Upper and lower water level management
- Automatic pump operation
This makes it suitable for both filling and drainage applications.
Multiple Wiring Methods
The EDF-96A/B supports several installation modes:
Direct Control Mode
Suitable for single-phase pumps within the controller’s rated load capacity.
Single-Phase Expansion Mode
Allows larger pumps to be controlled through an external contactor.
Three-Phase Pump Control
Supports three-phase pump systems using external AC contactors.
This flexibility allows the controller to adapt to different industrial and residential systems.
Stable Probe Signal Transmission
The controller uses low-voltage probe signal transmission for improved operational safety and stability.
Advantages include:
- Long sensing distance
- Stable signal transmission
- Improved anti-interference performance
- Reliable water level detection
This makes the EDF-96A/B suitable for both short-distance and larger water tank systems.
EDF-96A vs EDF-96B
The EDF-96A and EDF-96B are designed for different power requirements.
| Model | Working Voltage | Application |
|---|---|---|
| EDF-96A | 220V | Standard residential and commercial systems |
| EDF-96B | 380V | Industrial and three-phase systems |
Both models share similar control principles and functions but are optimized for different electrical systems.
Applications
The EDF-96A/B series is widely used in:
- Rooftop water tanks
- Underground reservoirs
- Agricultural irrigation systems
- Industrial water supply systems
- Boiler water replenishment
- Pump automation systems
- Water treatment systems
- Commercial buildings
- Rural and municipal water supply projects
The controller is especially suitable for automatic pump operation and unattended water management systems.
