Important: Use this F263 Series Liquid Level Float Switch only as an operating control. Where failure or malfunction of the liquid level switch could lead to personal injury or property damage to the controlled equipment or other property, additional precautions must be designed into the control system. Incorporate and maintain other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or protect against failure or malfunction of the liquid level switch.
Important : Utiliser ce F263 Series Liquid Level Float Switch uniquement en tant que dispositif de régulation. Lorsqu'une défaillance ou un dysfonctionnement du liquid level switch risque de provoquer des blessures ou d'endommager l'équipement contrôlé ou un autre équipement, la conception du système de contrôle doit intégrer des dispositifs de protection supplémentaires. Veiller dans ce cas à intégrer de façon permanente d'autres dispositifs, tels que des systèmes de supervision ou d'alarme, ou des dispositifs de sécurité ou de limitation, ayant une fonction d'avertissement ou de protection en cas de défaillance ou de dysfonctionnement du liquid level switch.
Important:
  • Do not use F263MAC and F263MAP Float Switches where the fluid in the pipes drops below the fluid’s freezing point, causing an internal freeze-up.
  • Do not use F263 Series Float Switches with hazardous fluids or in hazardous atmospheres. Use in these conditions may cause malfunction or improper operation.

Use F263 Series Float Switches in closed tanks where a liquid level is to be maintained. A change in the liquid level opens or closes an electrical circuit.

Use F263MAP switches on indoor or outdoor tanks that hold water or other nonhazardous liquids at temperatures greater than the liquid's freezing point and between -20°F (-29°C) and 212°F (100°C). The maximum allowable liquid pressure is 150 psig (1035 kpa).

Use F263MAC switches on indoor or outdoor tanks that hold water or other nonhazardous liquids at temperatures greater than the liquid's freezing point and between -20°F (-29°C) and 250°F (121°C). The maximum allowable liquid pressure is 100 psig (690 kpa).

Note: Do not use these float switches with liquids that are lighter than water.
