F262 Airflow Switch
Description
The F262 Airflow Switch detects airflow or the
absence of airflow by responding only to the
velocity of air movement within a duct. The
single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) control can
be wired to open one circuit and close a
second circuit for either signaling or interlock
purposes.
Airflow failure during the normal operation of
air handling systems may cause overheating,
coil icing, or other conditions that may be
detrimental to the equipment.
Refer to the F262 Airflow Switch Product
Bulletin (LIT-12011988) for important product
application information.
Application
The F262 switch detects airflow or the
absence of airflow by responding only to the
velocity of air movement within a duct. The
SPDT control can be wired to open one circuit
and close a second circuit for either signaling
or interlock purposes.
Failure of airflow during the normal operation
of air handling systems may cause
overheating, coil icing, and other conditions
that may be detrimental to the equipment.
Typical applications include:
• Make-up air systems
• Air cooling or heating processes
• Exhaust systems
The control has a Type 3R (NEMA) enclosure
with an integral mounting plate. A mounting
plate gasket is supplied with each switch.
Features
• Type 3R (NEMA) Polycarbonate enclosure
allows use in indoor applications and
provides dust protection and is approved
for use in a plenum according to NEC
• dependable dust-protected SPDT
snap-acting PENN switch detects the
presence or absence of airflow
• large wiring space makes wiring
convenient and easily accessible
• easily accessible range adjustment screw
allows easy field adjustment
Code No. LIT-1900949
