🔍 Key Concepts

• Bilge alarm circuits detect high liquid levels rather than control motor speed • Difference between on/off (discrete) control and proportional/speed control • Role of a float switch in starting and stopping bilge pumps or alarms

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: does a bilge alarm usually work by simply switching at a set level, or by gradually changing speed as the level rises? • Consider which option best matches an on/off style of operation triggered at a certain liquid level. • Think about whether a bilge alarm normally needs a manual reset after activation, or if it clears automatically when the condition goes away.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choices describe speed control (more suited to motor speed regulation, not a basic alarm). • Identify which option best represents a simple on/off level switch behavior. • Consider how a float switch in a bilge well would typically actuate: is it discrete positions or variable speed?
