Mechanically-Activated, Wide-Angle Pump Switch
The Medium Duty Wide-Angle Dual Pump Switch is designed to control pumps up to15 FLA, 90 LRA, 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
This mechanically-activated, pump switch provides automatic control of pumps in non-potable water and sewage applications. It is well-suited for confined applications requiring an accurate pumping range. It is not sensitive to rotation or turbulence. This switch is voltage sensitive – use with correct voltage.
The Medium Duty Wide-Angle Dual pump switch consists of two mechanical floats and a splice tube. The splice tube contains a holding relay which enables the floats to function in series.
The holding relay eliminates pump chatter in turbulent conditions allowing the Medium Duty Wide-Angle Dual pump switch to operate relay control panels for larger pump applications.
Features
- Controls pumps up to 15 FLA, 90 LRA, 115 VAC or 230 VAC
- Adjustable pumping range of 3 to 48 inches (7.6 to 122 cm) with increased pumping range up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) available
- Includes standard mounting clamps and boxed packaging
This switch is available:
