Description
These float actuated Oil Level Swichgage instruments are a combination oil level sight gage and
adjustable, low and/or high limit switch. The
limit switches are normally open during operation–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.
Application
The level instruments described above can be
used on a variety of crankcases, pump gearcases,
or oil reservoirs–primarily on small engines and
pumps. The following list displays the model
and its typical application:
L100
†
: Small engines and pumps with
non-vented crankcase.
L100W
†
: Small engines and pumps with
vented crankcase.
L120†: Machined surface on crankcase such as
Witte, National-Oilwell/Garland.
L127: Machined surface on crankcase, specifi-
cally, Fairbanks-Morse ZC Series and
Bell Engines.
L128: Machined surface on crankcase, specifical-
ly, Arrow and Continental Emsco/Climax.
