The pump is used to fill a tank with water. When the tank is low on water, the "FLOAT SWITCH" activates the pump motor and turns a "RED" pilot light "ON". When the tank is filled with water, the "FLOAT SWITCH" turns the "PUMP MOTOR" and "RED PILOT LIGTH" "OFF", and turns an "AMBER PILOT LIGTH" "ON" to indicate that the "PUMP MOTOR" is not running. If the "PUMP MOTOR" becomes "OVERLOADED", an "OVERLOAD RELAY" stops the pump motor only. Develop a control system schematic diagram that satisfy the given condition.
