Diversitech TP-CS1 Condensate Drain Line Float Switch

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH TP-CS1 is a condensate drain line float switch designed to prevent water overflow damage in air conditioning systems. When a clogged condensate drain line causes water to rise in the primary or auxiliary drain pipe, the switch detects the elevated water level and shuts down the AC system before overflow occurs. At the core of the device is a magnetic reed float switch built from corrosion-resistant materials that will not rust or stick. An integrated LED indicator alerts both homeowners and technicians when the switch has activated. An internal surge protector reduces the risk of inadvertent system shutdowns. Six feet of lead wire is included for flexible installation positioning.

The TP-CS1 is intended for residential air conditioning installations where protecting interior finishes from condensate overflow is a priority. It can be installed in either the primary or auxiliary condensate drain line, making it a versatile single-SKU solution for a variety of drain configurations. HVAC technicians typically deploy this switch during new equipment installations, system tune-ups, or as a retrofit on existing equipment where overflow protection is absent or aging. Its small form factor aids access in tight equipment closets and attic installations.

Key Features

• Magnetic reed float switch design for reliable, corrosion-resistant operation
• Compatible with primary or auxiliary condensate drain line installation
• Integrated LED indicator signals switch activation to homeowners and technicians
• Pull-to-test lever allows verification of correct installation without flooding the pan
• Internal surge protector reduces risk of false or inadvertent system shutdowns
• Includes 6 feet of wire for flexible routing and positioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation float switch for residential split-system and packaged air conditioning equipment using standard condensate drain lines in primary or auxiliary drain configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Shut off power to the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before wiring the switch into the low-voltage control circuit. Confirm float movement is unobstructed and use the pull-to-test lever to verify the switch interrupts the control circuit correctly before returning the system to service. Follow local mechanical and electrical codes for low-voltage control wiring.
