The float switch is just a back up and should never trip unless the sump level has risen far above the optic sensor and trips the float switch. Is there an issue with yours?

The pump, IIRC, will pump for an interval of some minutes before taking a "rest" and then will start pumping again if the sump level is still not up to the optic sensor.
