Warrick 16MC1A0 Control

The Warrick 16MC1A0 is a high-performance liquid level control plug-in module designed for precise conductivity sensing in standard effluent and potable water applications. This direct-acting level controller operates on a 120Vac supply voltage and features a fixed 26,000-ohm sensitivity, making it ideal for point-level detection where medium-range resistance is required. Built with a SPDT (1 NO/1 NC) relay, this module facilitates versatile switching logic for pump-up or pump-down configurations. The unit utilizes a standard 8-pin octal socket style for rapid field replacement or integration into existing HVACR control panels. As a general-purpose plug-in induction relay, it eliminates the need for complex internal wiring within the tank, using the conductivity of the liquid itself to bridge the circuit between electrodes. Its compact design and screw connector socket compatibility ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection in demanding industrial environments.

Key Benefits

• Standardized 8-Pin Octal Base: Simplifies installation and reduces downtime during routine maintenance or system upgrades.
• Direct-Acting Operational Mode: Ensures immediate relay response for critical level monitoring and overflow prevention.
• Isolated Secondary Circuit: Enhances safety by separating probe voltage from the primary 120Vac power supply.
• Broad Compatibility: Pairs seamlessly with Warrick electrode holders and sensors for a complete level management solution.
• Robust SPDT Contacts: Rated for reliable switching performance in industrial and commercial liquid management systems.

Common Questions

How do I wire the Warrick 16MC1A0 for pump-down operation?
To configure for pump-down (lowering the level), the electrodes should be wired to the normally open (NO) contacts of the SPDT relay. When the liquid touches the high probe, the relay energizes to start the pump; it remains energized until the level drops below the low probe.

Can this control be used with non-conductive liquids like oil?
No, the 16MC1A0 relies on the conductivity of the liquid to complete the circuit. It is designed for water-based fluids. For non-conductive fluids, a float-based or ultrasonic level sensor is required.

Is an enclosure included with the 16MC1A0 module?
This specific model is a plug-in module with no enclosure. It is intended for mounting inside a protected NEMA-rated control panel using a compatible 8-pin screw connector socket.
