TYPICAL INSTALLATION
SWICHGAGE INSTALLATION (Refer to drawing)
1. Secure the SWICHGAGE in the panel, using the clamp
and nuts provided.
NOTE G: Be sure the SWICHGAGE and
panel are grounded.
2. If necessary, drain coolant or lubricant to a level below the
sensor entry point. Prepare the MURPHY adaptor nut (others
may damage bulb) with teflon tape or pipe dope and screw
securely into place.
3. Slide the sending bulb through the adaptor and secure with
the union nut. If necessary, refill the system to operational
level.
NOTE B: Use only the union nut to
remove the bulb. When refilling the
system, loosen the union nut until fluid
flow then tighten; this prevents air
pockets in the adaptor.
4. Wire the limit switch(es) to a Murphy magnetic switch or
relay.
NOTE F: Light duty (2 A @ 30 V resistive)
front contacts must be protected from
high current: disconnect power during
wire-up.
CAUTIONS: (Refer to drawing)
A. Avoid sharp bends, especially at
gauge and at adapter: minimum diameter
2/50 mm.
C. Bulb must be immersed in coolant or
lubricant to operate N. properly. Be sure
obstructions do not damage bulb when
in-serted. Insert bulb to full depth.
D. If going through a firewall, use a
grommet or other protective surrounding.
E. Coil and secure excess capillary tube.
Keep tube away from other high
temperature components.
TEST: Start equipment and check readings; close limit switch
or cause engine to heat to alarm/shut-down point.
USE THE PROPER TOOLS - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
Murphy recommends mounting SWICHGAGES and magnetic
switches away from excessive vibrations and the use of panel
shock mounts wherever vibration may occur. Handle all
instruments with care: although durable, these products should
not be subjected to rough handling, dropping, or severe
vibrations.
Magnetic Switches: Mount with electrical lugs down. If
necessary, drill the TATTLETALEâ and pilot-stud holes
(template provided); clean away burrs and filings. Position the
magnetic switch in the panel, making sure the pilot stud is in
place. Add TATTLETALEâ decal, then washer, then nut and
tighten.
BASIC WIRING OF SWICHGAGEâ AND MAGNETIC
SWITCH
Disconnect battery or other power during installation
Murphy
components
are
easily
wired-up
and
maintained
Use good quality wire and terminals. Be sure all connections
are Clean, Complete, and Correct. The wiring and the type of
magnetic switch differ for various applications, but a knowledge
of basic electrical functions and of the circuits necessary for
the specific job (what you want to happen), and commonsense
will make the system work-the way you want it to work.
See examples of typical wiring and instructions packed with
each magnetic switch.
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ COMPLETELY
SWICHGAGE Murphy magnetic switches and valves,
properly installed and maintained, are effective, work-ready
tools in any preventive maintenance program. For optimum
performance, check these tools periodically: look for frozen
pointers, Kinked or worn tubing, broken wiring or loose
connections: close the contacts, then watch for expected
results. Replace any damaged or worn parts: clean and repair
as necessary Murphy will repair or replace parts covered by
the Murphy two year limited warranty
Check the wiring: it must be Correct and Complete:
tight connections, unbroken insulation, no accidental
grounds, do not run shut-down wires with ignition wiring.
Check all tubing and connections for leaks.
Mount magnetic switches and Murphy valves in an
upright position, to prevent moisture collection and shorting.
CLEANING: If steam cleaning will be used, epoxy seal all
magnetic switches. Cleaning Lexan Lenses: since many
strong solvents and cleaners can haze and permanently
damage the clear polycarbonate lens on SWICHGAGESâ ,
please use one of the solutions listed here: mild soap and
water; mineral spirits; white kerosene; VM&P naphtha,
heptane, hexane, varsol No. 2; methyl/isopropyl/isobutyl
alcohols; 1 & 3 denatured alcohols: freons TF & TE; petroleum
ether (65C boiling pt.)
CAUTION: Many of these cleaners are
flammable. DO NOT USE when the
equipment is running or very not .Keep
away from sparks and flame.
