Can i mount the "top" electrode facing up instead of down?

Yes, but hard to judge the long term affects. If you're asking whether or not you can submerge the electrode housing it is not designed to be water tight. As such corrosion could occur with internal electronic connections after a period of time. The metal probe extensions are a rust resistant alloy and do not corrode with neutral pH liquids. Can you provide more specifics about your application?

I would venture to say yes, as the tip either senses water and closes the loop to engage the pump. If it does not see water, then it won't pump. Only drawback I see in your idea, is the wiring will be submerged when your put fills. This could lead to premature failure or shorting out... just my thoughts

So I put in a backup sump pump (liberty 24v marine battery kind), if my sensors or wiring fail. I mean, your bottom one is submerged in water, so why not the top wiring too. Same diffetence. Get a backup to be safe. Pumps fail. Power fails. Floats and electronic sensors fail. 500 is cheap insurance for a backup system. You can install it, trust me.

I don't see why not. As soon as the water touches both metal tips of the probes it will turn on the sump pump. Either probe can be mounted as the the lower probe or upper probe. The lower probe on my setup is submerged in water most of the time and the sump turns on once the water reaches the metal tip of the upper probe. The sump runs until the water level drops past the lower probe. On my sump once the pump turns off, water from the drain tiles partially refills the sump submerging the lower probe It doesn't matter how the probes are mounted, pointing down, pointing up or even sideways, once both metal tips are touching water the pump turns on and runs until both metal tips are out of the water.

Not sure, but I would caution not to. If you are trying to get more distance between electrode then I would tell you to buy some PVC pipe and mount it next to the pump. Put the electrodes on that at whatever hight you need. They go over this setup in the product instructions I believe.

Yes, I mounted it on the bottom of mine. Just make sure its the right length for your intended accessories.

I don't see any reason why your could not. I did not mount mine that way but you should not have any problem doing that.

It is at the top. But somewhat difficult when adding more than one thing to an outlet.

I have mine mounted horizontally, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't mount it vertically.

I believe you can only mount it using the included downrod. I don't remember the instructions giving a flush mount option.

Yes, I will work either way. I mounted mine horizontally, but the brackets that come with it will hold it in either orientation. You might have to put something for it to rest on as it will be heavier when full of water. It would be best to mount it so the bulb could be withdrawn upward (less spillage if you were ti have to remove the end cap) the internal quartz tube should not leak with the oring and threaded cap in place.

yes, I have the model with lights and we mounted the unit with the lights facing down - no problem at all.

Yes, it can be done at the top of the fixture. That's the way I would do it, should the situation arise.

I suppose you could do that - but it seems to me that the company makes two version of the switch - one vertical (if you have lots of clearance between the battery and the hood) - and the horizontal version - when the clearance is questionable - seems like a lot of work - if you already have the horizontal version - I suppose you could could try to make it vertical, but if it doesn't work - then you've just spent a chunk on change on something that now is just a piece of recyclable metal part. good luck!

This mount is made to be installed vertical. I doubt that you could install it horizontally and make it work properly.

Yes, the mount can be installed upside down. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

Mounting at angles (depending on how much angle your talking about) may not be the best method. It would be advisable to contact the Mfg. before proceeding with an angle mount.

Yes, I mounted it with lights downward. This way it better fits my interior and keeps the glass clean longer.

Actually I just put it vertical and it would work. I love mine ( I have two )!

If your are asking if the unit could install on the ground facing up I do not see anything in the mechanism that would hinder this. You would still have the cut off switch lever which should function. The issue would to insure you keep tension on the cable at all times otherwise I would think that the spooling of cable on the drum would become an issue.

I believe it would be fine to mount it vertically. mine is horizontal, but I don't see anything that would prevent or prohibit from vertical.
