What precautions do I need to take with the " floating neutral " setup ? Is this a good or bad thing ?

Sorry Clyde, my gen is in the garage,I have never had to crank it up.(hope I never have to)

The on off switch is inside the float..... If the float is not floating in a vertical position it will allow pump to run. When water level is low and float is at bottom of tank (or other water holder.) The foat asit touches bottom will fall into a horizontal position and the switch in the float will stop pump from running.......this is true if float switch is wired correcty to the pump. I belive a diagram coms with the float package. v.

From the way you phrase the question I would say no. I have no idea what a float switch is, but what is displayed is all that is present in the package.

I did not hook mine up that way, so I'm not sure. GFCI outlets are very sensitive and will trip if they sense any current on the ground wire, so you may need to check on how the wiring needs to be done between the inverter and panel so that the GFCI outlet works properly. Check with a licenced electrician or your local wiring codes would be a good start.

Your power goes to the center connections #3 & #4 your sensor goes to #5 & #6 the load (whatever your using it for) goes to #1 & #2. There is no polarity so it don't matter which way you hook it up. The only thing on you load hook up #1 & #2 you should run the hot wire side through them. Good Luck Max ( I see clchoice gave you the same lay out)

It's really your call. I don't recommend it as you'll have an empty spot that isn't filled by a plug. it's rare that that will cause issues but the risk is always there.

Negative, yet there is an input receptacle with NO SPECS as to polarity and voltage needed, as well a missing current spec needed when multiple items are connected. Closer inspection of item shows no specs ON the item either, but it appears that an area below the receptacle has been sanded off, as if the specs were removed, as was the model info. Weird.. Inspection was done with lighted magnifier I used at NASA to inspect pins. sort of like owning a 7-stall barn that will only hold 4 horses at best ;-)

I wouldn't risk it, but I'm not an expert on this subject. You're better off asking the manufacturer. Look up their number on line for technical help.

I would ground it if you can. It probably won't hurt to leave it floating, but generally a grounded enclosure will offer more noise protection and safety.

I have a 1600 watt inverter connected, also with an inline fuse. It all works fine, my only concern is the cables get quite warm, but it has been connected for about a year now just fine. Makesure you use an inline fuse with proper watt fuse.

No... I have mine wired directly to a on/off switch. A float switch is an option of course.

No, it does not require a neutral. (It's battery powered.) Install instructions are available on Intermatic's web site, http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/Intermatic/Documentation/Timers/In-Wall/Electronic/ST01/ST01%20Instructions.ashx

Not sure about that as mine is negative ground. That said, it should be ground polarity insensitive by reversing the connections.

All I could say is make sure your float switch is working right, exercise it a bit (I had to do that once) and see if anything helps. Other than the float switch there is not much else an owner can do.

It will float as long as power is on. No option to disable the lights, but try covering them with a piece of black tape.

Sorry but, I just went ahead and connected the neutral since it was there, I don't know if it's required.

Thanks, i'll check for the switch on the back tonight. i'm sure the polarity is correct, red to lead (+) and black to ground (-) right?
