What this block does
Receives the documented high-level condition used by the drainage supervisory scheme.
A simple example
In a switchroom, water ingress, temperature, humidity and equipment-service alarms can be sent to the station controller with separate point names so an operator can identify the affected area. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Sump level contact” at the input and “High-level alarm” at the output. Pump control and high-level alarm are separate functions.
What the drawings help you do
Start at the named input: Sump level contact. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: High-level alarm. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

What it represents
Receives the documented high-level condition used by the drainage supervisory scheme. Environmental supervision turns measurements or contact states into clearly named room-service indications. A sensor measures a condition; the supervisory function decides whether the assigned alarm or control response is needed.
In a switchroom, water ingress, temperature, humidity and equipment-service alarms can be sent to the station controller with separate point names so an operator can identify the affected area. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Sump level contact” at the input and “High-level alarm” at the output. Pump control and high-level alarm are separate functions.
Keep sensor location, alarm thresholds, delay and monitoring coverage in the room-services schedule. An environmental alarm is a diagnostic input, not a complete assessment of electrical equipment condition. The functional block is an independent explanation of this named application. Equipment-specific ratings, terminal connections and operating conditions must be established in the project documentation.
How to read it
- Start at the named input: Sump level contact. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
- Follow the named output: High-level alarm. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

Information to show or reference
- Label the source and connection reference for sump level contact.
- Identify the destination and defined state of high-level alarm.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: Pump control and high-level alarm are separate functions.
A distinction that matters
Pump control and high-level alarm are separate functions. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.
