Description
Basic Operation
The OPLHC/OPLHACS Series Level
Swichgage instruments are combination
level indicating gages with adjustable low
and high limit switches. Limit switches can
be wired directly to electric pilot circuits to
operate alarms, shutdown or start/stop
pumps to maintain predetermined levels.
The OPLHC/OPLHACS series operate from
static head pressure. Pressure is transmitted
to the process connection of the Swichgage
instrument.
OPLHBP/OPLHABPS
From here the pressure flexes the bourdon
tube or operates the 316 stainless steel bel-
lows (depending on which model you have).
The bourdon tube/bellows oper-
Internal latching control relays are available
to provide ON/OFF automation for electric
motor applications.
Surface mount or panel mount enclosure is
available for both model series. All models
feature a 4-1/2 in. (114 mm) dial for easy
viewing. Adjustable limit switches are
accessible from front of the Swichgage
instrument.
Specialized models are available for specific
applications involving engines or electric
motors.
OPLHC and OPLHACS series are avail-
able in indication only Murphygage models
(OPLHAGS). See Page 2 to determine the
model for your application.
