Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What does close on rise mean for this switch?

A. Close on rise refers to the switch's function where the electrical contacts close (make contact) when the liquid level rises and reaches the preset level. This action triggers associated systems, such as pumps or alarms.

Q. Can this switch handle different motor types and sizes?

A. Yes, the switch is adaptable to different motor types and sizes. It supports motors up to 2 HP at 120VAC (single-phase), 3 HP at 240VAC (single-phase) and 5 HP at 240VAC (three-phase).

Q. Can the switch be used with different conduit sizes?

A. Yes, this switch is compatible with conduit sizes of 4-1/2 and 4-3/4 inches, offering flexibility in conduit selection during installation.

Q. What is the purpose of the NEMA 1 rating?

A. The NEMA 1 rating indicates that the switch is suitable for indoor use & provides protection against solid foreign objects, making it ideal for indoor industrial settings.
