I have had some bad issues with our sewer ejector pump system for our home. I have a panel that has four floats that I want to add additional monitoring from another device. I have another device that has four channels that I would like to add to this to monitor each of the floats to send me warnings if any of the floats get triggered.
The controller I have is a sje rhombus 1221w114h6a17a. It is a single phase 240v dual, alternating pump system
As I said, it has 4 floats. Each float is normally open, and they have 120v in the lines to the floats (this to me is strange, but I have verified with the manufacture). I want to monitor these with another device (Davis Instruments EnviroMonitor) that can monitor a simple open / close switch, but without the voltage. Basically so that it would look like just a reed switch or similar to the device. The device specifies a "dry contact".
Each float is its owner circuit and I would be monitoring each circuit separately, so we would treat each float individually.,
Would something like a relay work? If so, what would a good reliable but cheap one be?
Thanks
