Description
These float actuated Oil Level Swichgage instru-
ments are a combination oil level sight gage and
adjustable, low and/or high limit switch. The
limit switches are normally open during opera-
tion–yet close if the level drops or rises to where
the float contacts the limit screw. The contact
completes a circuit to ground a magneto or trip a
Murphy magnetic switch. The magnetic switch
can be used to activate alarms and/or shutdown.
Models are also available without limit switches.
