F263 Series Liquid Level Float Switches
Description
The F263 Series Liquid Level Float Switches
are designed to maintain a liquid level in
indoor or outdoor closed tanks that hold water
or other nonhazardous liquids. When the liquid
level in the tank rises above or falls below the
required level, the single-pole, double-throw
(SPDT) switch closes one circuit and opens a
second circuit.
Refer to the F263 Series Liquid Level Float
Switches Product Bulletin (LIT-12011989) for
important product application information.
Application
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
(1,035 kpa).
Repair Information
If the F263 Series Liquid Level Float Switch
fails to operate within its specifications,
replace the unit. For a replacement
F263 Switch, contact the nearest
Johnson Controls® representative.
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.
Features
• Viton® diaphragm allows use in fluid lines
carrying chlorinated water, treated water,
or other nonhazardous liquids.
• single-pole, double-throw switch provides
control where liquid levels rise and fall
• sturdy Type 4 (NEMA) enclosure allows for
use in indoor or outdoor applications;
inhibits the formation of moisture in low
temperature applications.
• solid polycarbonate float
(F263MAP models) provides greater
resistance to corrosion
