LS200
LS200 Liquid Level Switches with 2” NPT mounting are float activated to operate an electrical
SPDT snap switch (optional DPDT on some models) for alarm or shutdown of an engine or
electric motor. The LS200 connects via a thread-o-let directly into the vessel wall and can be
used with a weld collar (P/N 15050375) or Murphy external float chamber. L1100 models
(1-1/2” NPT) are also available.

LS200NDVOR
LS200NDVOR is a float-activated, pneumatic-vent level device used to operate dump valves
or similar devices.
The LS200NDVOR provides a 2” NPT mounting with a pneumatic snap action output for
interfacing with pneumatic devices such as our Murphy pneumatic dump valve or with other
pneumatic instrumentation.
Pneumatic media devices require clean, dry, instrument quality air or gas. This unit is supplied
with a pressure regulator, filter and Murphy 20BPG pressure gage for improved system life and
trouble-free operation.
