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

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).

“B” Model

• Normally open default state (contact is open when float switch is hanging)
• Ideal for areas where components containing mercury are prohibited
• 1/2hp (0.37kW), 120VAC switch power or 1hp (0.75kW), 240VAC switch power
• 13 Amps (120VAC and 240VAC switches)
• 4 to 4.75in drawdown (101 to 121mm)

“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
• 1/2hp (0.37kW), 120VAC switch power or 2hp (1.49kW), 240VAC switch power
• 13 Amps (120VAC switch)
