I want to install this in a tank. IS the float wire easily detachable from the detection unit so it can be run thru a drilled hole?

Yes, just pop it open and release the screws on the terminals. I took mine off to run the cable through a sump pump dome cover.

The end of the sensor is plastic and 0.75 x 1.25 x 2.5" long if you did could not disconnect the wires you would need a one and a half inch diameter hole. If you could cut the wires and put the sensor in and then reattach it you would just need a small hole.

Yes it can be removed easily. The ends of the cables will be exposed when unit is removed, because they plug into the back of unit. The molded plugs are water tight and shouldn't be a problem. You can always wrap with a plastic bag and rubber bands if you want extra security from the elements.

It's probably easiest to cut it and direct wire it, But yes you can direct wire it. Incidentally, it's an awesome disposal.

As it happens, I did not. That having been said, the wire included is a VERY small gauge wire. I will probably replace it with a heavier wire at some point as the suppl;ied wire seems to be drooping in places where the distance between anchor points is greater than 5 feet. My installation is approx. 3 months old.

Yes it right at a 1 3/8 in hole with the screw holding it in place.Mine is grounded to the boat also.No extra holes need for the wires.Works well for the money.Keep extra bulbs with you as rough water can be hard on the element.I use stainless steel screw on mine.

It could be mounted to the side of a tank. The mounting bracket normally screws into an object... but and adhesive could possibly be used.

Yes, I ran a #12 insulated copper wire with soldered lugs from the mount which has a hole for a ground connection down concealled and connected to the frame of the truck. The paint at the mount location was preventing a good ground for me.

Not very easy. You need to disassemble the control box to expose the leads. You could probably jump from inside. No exterior d/c port.

A ground wire can easily be connected to one of the screws on the side of the unit. That's how I installed mine and got great results.

Yes, as long as you have room for the wires to connect to the fixture, I used a waterproof junction box which is part of many lamp setups. You will need an extra hole in the box to mount the stem of the motion detector that isn't shown in the photo.

Yes, very easily. Just unplug cord and slide the detector out of the mount.

There is a door at the top to open to reach in. The wire part just sits on top of the tank. So when you want that off you just lift it.

No. Uses a small screw type terminal, very similar to an alarm panel or such. Typically made by Phoenix Contact or other manufacturer. Wire would be stripped back about 1/4 inch. Mine is not installed yet but seems to be very well made.

No. I don't think so. the edge side wall is rounded. and you need replace the tank to fill in water when it was empty. Also I think the wire is quite short. Anyway, it's a good tool.

No, it does not. I tried to install one, and you can't. The plug is so tight, there is no way you can buy a separate float and install it. I recommend a better brand with a float switch.

No, I don't think so. The float switch needs a lot of upward travel to close the circuit. If you have a basement application but don't have a big enough hole for the entire pump, there are very small float switch circuit interrupters that you could use. A small hole in the ground would be required. Good luck.
