Motor-Rated, Mechanical (Non-Mercury) Float Switches
Orenco Motor-Rated, Mechanical (Non-Mercury) Float Switches are used with pump control panels and alarms in areas where components containing mercury are prohibited. They're intended to carry starting and operating current for a pump. They have a “drawdown” value, which is the difference in liquid level between a float switch’s activation and deactivation points. The default state is normally-open (contact is open when float switch is hanging).
