Tape 'em up. They are used for an overflow alarm

If failure of the pump may cause damage from flooding,
you could use those contacts to sound an alarm or
to shut off the dehumid (via low-voltage relay).



Does this mean there is a small voltage on them in the event of pump
failure? Should I tape them up separately?

Thanks,

No voltage; they connect to a switch operated
by the float arm. Tape separately as a matter of practice.
