SPECIAL APPLICATION SWICHGAGES": ABS, EO, DP, VWC, STALARM BEFORE SHUT-DOWNTWO SWITCH OPTIONABS: SWICHGAGEâ with Alarm Before Shut-downThe ABS has a standard, front limit-contact for low pressureequipment shut-down and an internal, SPDT micro switch forAlarm Before Shut-Down (see Wiring Diagram). When the lowside of the micro switch SETS (preset point, on fallingpressure), the NC side of the switch completes a circuit toactivate an alarm. From this point the pressure must increaseapproximately 10% of scale before the micro switch willRESET and open the circuit; if pressure falls, the shut-downcircuit will be completed.NOTE: The front contact shut-down limitsetting (adjustable) and micro switch lowpoint are preset at the factory; if settingsother than standard are necessary, thenspecify when ordering.FILTER DIFFERENTIAL PRESSUREDP: Differential Pressure SWICHGAGEInstallation: 1) connect the input side of the filter to the centerport: 2) connect the filter output pressure to the upper port -CAUTION: use a 7/16" wrench on theupper port's wrench flats to preventdamage to the gauge. DO NOT overtighten port connections; 3) set the limitcontact to the manufacturer's filterspecifications: 4) connect wiring to alarmand/or shutdown devices.DRY AIR CLEANER RESTRICTIONVWC: Water Column Calibrated, Vacuum SWICHGAGEInstallation: 1) mount the VWC away from engine vibration; 2)run the vacuum line from the gauge to a point between the aircleaner and (a) carburetor on carbureted engine, (b)turbocharger on turbocharged diesels, (c) the engine onnaturally aspirated diesels. NOTE: a flexible section isessential at some point in the vacuum line to eliminatevibration. Be sure the SWICHGAGE is grounded in a 12 or24 volt system, and that the alarm used Is of the same voltageas the battery.MICRO-SWITCH! LIMIT CONTROLEO: SNAP-ACTION Pressure SWICHGAGEAn EO is the combination of a MURPHYGAGEâ and a SPDT microswitch. The switch will SET (see wiring Diagram) at its preset lowpressure point on falling pressure. As the pressure rises, the switchwill RESET, approximately 10% of scale above the low pressureSET point. (The 10% difference is inherent in the physicalmovement of the micro switch.) By knowing the low pressure SETpoint, this 3 wire SWICHGAGE can be used to make or break acircuit.For Example, you have a 0-100 psi EO with a SET point of 15 psi:the switch will RESET at +10% of scale or 25 psi. This EO could bewired to light a lamp on low pressure start-up, and then put out thelamp as pressure rises past 25 psi.The SPDT micro switch is rated 3 A @ 30 VDC inductive and 4 A @125 VAC inductive.FLASHING LED ALARMST: LED Flashes On SWICHGAGE''Closure The ST has a standard, front limit-contact for low pressurealarm. For shut-down or auxiliary alarm, wire to compatible rating,see examples of Murphy audible alarm and magnetic switches givenbelow.TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS (Where problem appears to involve Murphy products)PROBLEMPROBABLE CAUSE & POSSIBLE CORRECTIONEngine will not startBlown fuse in magnetic switch circuit: replace with 14 A fuse.False ground in control circuit: repair.Open circuit (Fault Sensitive): repair.Control circuit overloaded by accessories: reroute accessories.False Shut-downIntermittent shorting in wiring due to wear or insulation breakdowncheck all wiring, replace as necessary.Fault Sensitive circuit has intermittent open or short: check allwiring, replace as needed.Vibration causes the magnetic switch to trip: repair, replace orrelocate switch as needed.SWICHGAGE closes but does not tripIncomplete circuit: locate open circuit and repair.the magnetic switch or kill the engine.Magneto not providing power to primary terminal post: repair magneto.C.D. type magnetic switch being used with magneto or battery:replace with correct switch.SWICHGAGE closes and kills engine.Defective magnetic switch binds outside, prevents trip: adjust orbut does not trip the magnetic switchreplace the switch.Conventional magnetic switch is used with C.D. ignition: replacewith a C.D. designated switch.TATTLETALE tripped but engineLost ground to kill engine: repair.still running (mag. or C.D.).Clogged lines or pulsation dampener: remove and clean orPointer will not operate properly.replace.inaccurate readings.Kinked/crimped/broken pressure or vacuum line: replace line.Pointer or contact burned in twoWithout exception this Is caused by incorrect wiring or a shortcircuit: refer to wiring diagrams and recheck wiring:replace SWICHGAGE'.If you need additional assistance, contact YOUR LOCAL MURPHY DEALER, or a Murphy representative at one of theoffices listed on this form.
