Diversitech DIVE-CS-2 Condensate Overflow Switch

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH DIVE-CS-2 is a condensate overflow switch designed to protect against water damage caused by clogged air conditioning drain lines. When water rises in the auxiliary or main condensate drain pipe, the switch detects the elevated level and shuts down the system before overflow can occur. At its core is a magnetic reed switch built from materials that resist rust and sticking, ensuring consistent operation over repeated cycles. Licensed HVAC technicians install this switch as a low-cost safeguard in residential and light commercial cooling systems.

This switch is suited for use in split systems, package units, and fan coil installations where condensate drain blockages pose a risk to finished ceilings, walls, and flooring. The elbow configuration allows it to be installed directly in the condensate drain line without requiring a separate tee or adapter fitting. It is commonly placed in attic installations, closet air handlers, and any application where an overflowing drain pan would cause structural or cosmetic damage.

Key Features

• Magnetic reed switch design provides accurate, repeatable water-level detection
• Elbow-style body integrates directly into the condensate drain line
• Materials resist rust and corrosion for long service life in humid environments
• Shuts down the AC system automatically when condensate backs up
• Simple installation reduces service time in the field

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation condensate protection switch for residential and light commercial air conditioning systems with standard condensate drain configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Shut off power to the air handler or package unit at the disconnect before wiring the switch into the low-voltage control circuit. The switch is typically wired in series with the thermostat control circuit so that a high-water condition interrupts the call for cooling. Follow all local codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams when integrating into the control circuit.
