Wiring help on pumptrol pressure switch

Wiring Help On Pumptrol Pressure Switch


Just bought a new pressure switch because one of the points (contacts?) looked a little worn and burned. Am trying to install this new one myself, because of budget considerations. (First time at this particular task) The tank is also leaking around where the pressure gauge screws into the tank. This set up is probably at least thirty years old. The pressure reads 20 psi at this moment. The Pressure Switch is a Pumptrol 9013FSG2J21M4 (Has the additional lever) The new switch is in position on the tank, but I am confused as to the wiring configuration. The orange card that came with the part shows a diagram that indicates T1 and T2 and L1 and L2. But in real life there are no such numbers on the wires. I don't know which black and white wires are the T wires and which are the L wires. One set comes up from the ground in a conduit to the left side (facing the switch) and another set comes up from the ground on the right side of the switch. As it sits, with present installed wire configuration, the pump does not kick on to begin refilling the tank. Anybody got a good photo of this particular switch, with the wires in the right place on the switch posts? Welcome to the forums. Good picture... I have. L and T aren't as important as correct order. Terminals 1 and 3 are wires from one conduit Terminals 2 and 4 are wires from the other conduit. Thanks PJmax, for the welcome and the great photo. I'll see what I can do from it. Uh...is the photo of the same part I bought? Not the same exact part but very similar. The terminals are still in the 1 2 3 4 order.
