Table 2. F261 Series fluid flow switches technical specifications
Specification Description
Switch single-pole, double-throw (SPDT)
Enclosure UL: Type 3R or Type 4

CE: IP43 (IP23 with drain hole plug removed) or IP67
Wiring connections Three color-coded screw terminals and one ground terminal
Conduit connection One 7/8 in. (22 mm) hole for 1/2 in. trade size (or PG16) conduit
Pipe connector Standard: 1 in. 11-1/2 NPT Threads

Low-Flow: 1/2 in. x 1/2 in. Female NPTF; 3/4 in. x 3/4 in. Female NPTF
Maximum fluid pressure 290 psi (20 bar)
Minimum fluid temperature

-20°F (-29°C)

Note: Ensure that the low liquid temperature combined with the low ambient temperature does not lead to freezing the liquid inside the body or, if applicable, the bellows. Observe the liquid freezing point.
Maximum fluid temperature

250°F (121°C)

Note: At higher ambient temperatures, the maximum liquid temperature becomes lower. The temperature of the electrical switch inside should not exceed 158°F (70°C).
Ambient conditions -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C)
Compliance

North America: cULus Listed; UL 60730, File E6688; FCC Compliant to CFR47, Part 15, Subpart B, Class B

Industry Canada (IC) Compliant to Canadian ICES-003, Class B limits
Europe: CE Mark – Johnson Controls declares that this product is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the EMC Directive and the Low Voltage Directive.
  Australia/New Zealand: Mark: RCM Compliant
