Solenoid B Full tank sensor Solenoid A Empty tank sensor Control panel Stop Fill Empty Figure 15-48  Hardwired tank filling and emptying operation for Problem 4. The operation of the control circuit can be summarized as follows: • Assuming the liquid level of the tank is at or below the empty level mark, momentarily pressing the FILL pushbutton will energize control relay 1CR. • Contacts 1CR1 and 1CR2 will both close to seal in the 1CR coil and energize normally closed solenoid valve A to start filling the tank. • As the tank fills, the normally open empty-level sensor switch closes. • When the liquid reaches the full level, the normally closed full-level sensor switch opens to open the circuit to the 1CR relay coil and switch solenoid valve A to its de-energized closed state.
