Switch Variations

  • Normally Open (N/O) – Green Float : The contacts are open (or off) in the hanging position. As the float rises 1” (5°) above horizontal, the contacts become closed and actuate (turn on) the switch. This float is generally used in pump down applications.

  • Normally Closed (N/C) – Green/Red Float: The contacts are closed (or on) in the hanging position. As the float rises 1” (5°) above horizontal, the contacts become open and actuate (turn off) the switch. This float is generally used in pump up applications.

  • Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) – Green/Blue Float: A variation of the N/O and N/C, this float switch can be wired as either (but not both) a normally open or normally closed switch based on the user′s need
