Motor-Rated, Mechanical (Non-Mercury) Float Switches

Motor-Rated, Mechanical (Non-Mercury) Float Switches

Orenco^® Motor-Rated (Non-Mercury) Mechanical Float Switches are used with pump control panels and alarms in areas where components containing mercury are prohibited. They are intended to carry starting and operating current for a pump. They have a “drawdown” value — 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).

“B” Model

• Normally open default state (contact is open when float switch is hanging)
• Ideal for areas where components containing mercury are prohibited
• ½-hp (0.37-kW), 120-VAC switch power or 1-hp (0.75-kW), 240-VAC switch power
• 13 Amps (120-VAC and 240-VAC switches)
• 4.00-inch to 4.75-inch drawdown (101-mm to 121-mm)

“C” Model

• Normally open default state (contact is open when float switch is hanging)
• Ideal for areas where components containing mercury are prohibited
• Suitable for use with potable water
• ½-hp (0.37-kW), 120-VAC switch power or 2-hp (1.49-kW), 240- VAC switch power
• 13 Amps (120-VAC switch)
• 15 Amps (240-VAC switches)
• 5.50-inch to 9.50-inch drawdown (140-mm to 241-mm)
