Float Switches and Assemblies (MF)
Orenco Signal-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 for low-amperage signals and aren't capable of carrying the current necessary to start or operate a pump. They have a "drawdown" value, which is the difference in liquid level between the switch's activation and deactivation points.
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 the float switch is hanging).
Orenco Float Switch Assemblies are preassembled with one or more floats secured by float collars mounted on a lin (25mm) PVC float stem.
