HOW TO ORDER:
Select the A20 pressure model that suits your needs by
determining:
(1)MURPHYGAGEâ or SWICHGAGEâ
(2)
Low (std.) or Low & High (HL) contacts
(3)
or a 3 wire snap-action switch (EO)
(4)
std. or Environmentally Sealed (ES)
(5)
type of adjustment: std. (Allen wrench) or Knob (K)
(6)
Alarm Before Shut-down
(7)
Operating Range (will fit in mid 1/3 of dial scale)

Add to the basic model number the psi
high point of the dial scale you need: if operating
range is 50 psi (345 kPa) to 110 psi (758 kPa),
Dial Scale is 0-150 psi (0-1.03 MPa).
EXAMPLE: You want a std. SWICHGAGEâ with Knob adj.,
environmentally sealed. and a dial scale of 0-150 psi: order
model A20-PK 150 ES. If you need a snap-action
SWICHGAGEâ dial range 0-100 psi, but do not want factory
switch Set Point of 15 psi: you want it set at 27 psi: order
model A20-EO 100 w/27 psi Set Point.
A20-EO: Snap-Action Pressure SWICHGAGEâ The A20-
EO models include a standard A series MURPHYGAGE' and
an internal, SPDT, snap-action micro switch. The micro switch
is adjustable, but field adjustment is not recommended;
standard factory settings are listed on the Contact & Micro
Switch Set Point Chart, other set points must be specified
when ordering. The switch is Set (Wiring Diagram) by falling
pressure; the Reset point will be approximately 100/o of scale
above that Set point. (10% differential is inherent in the
physical movement of the SPDT micro switch.) By knowing the
low side setting. this 3 wire SWICHGAGEâ can be used to
make or break a circuit. For example: you have a 100 psi
A20-EO, factory set at 15 psi: the switch will snap open at +
10% of scale, about 25 psi: this A20-EO 100 could be used to
light a lamp (Set/NC) during engine start-up, then put out the
lamp as operating pressure rises above 25 psi. The micro
switch is rated 4 A @ 125 VAC and 3 A @ 30 VDC Inductive.
When specifying Set Point, keep it in the lower 50% of scale.

bABS and EO micro switch settings are not easily adjusted in
the field: switches are set at Std. unless Specified when
ordering.
A20-P ABS: SWICHGAGE' with Alarm Before Shut-down
The A20-P ABS has a standard front adjustable low contact for
equipment shut-down, and an internal micro switch for alarm
before shut-down (see wiring diagram). The front contact is
wired to the NC terminal of the SWICHGAGEâ and is set at
the std. low pressure shut-down point. The internal switch has
one side of a SPDT switch set to contact just before shut-down
pressure. The NO terminal connects the micro switch to
alarms. Both the adjustable, front contact and the micro switch
are preset at the factory: if settings other than standard are
necessary,
