oil level of an engine, pump or compressor.  
Adjusted to the correct running-oil-level, the  
LM2000 will replenish oil as it is used. An inte-  
gral, low-level switch will alarm and/or shutdown  
the equipment if supply oil is lost and the equip-  
ment continues to use oil.

Application  
The LM2000 maintains oil level on any size  
engine, but is recommended for small to medium  
volume applications and installations that require a  
3-wire, snap-action switch.

How the LM2000  
Maintains Levels  
Thumb-Valve Operation  
As the equipment uses oil, the float falls, provi-  
ding immediate level compensation. At FULL  
position, the float holds the valve closed. If the  
clean oil supply is depleted and oil level  
continues to fall, the low level switch will  
operate an alarm or equipment shutdown.  
As crankcase oil level drops, the LM2000 float  
also drops and opens the Thumb-ValveTM. This  
allows oil to flow from the supply tank, through  
the LM2000, and into the crankcase. When proper  
level is attained in the crankcase, the LM2000 float  
rises, causing the Thumb-ValveTM to close off fur-  
ther oil flow.  
Maximum Case Pressure: 15 psi (103 kPa).  
Maximum Differential: 2 in. (51 mm) between  
running and stopped.  
Thumb-ValveTM Operation (Simplified)  
The simple and unique Thumb-ValveTM is non-  
clogging and provides a positive, leak-free seal.  
Maximum Ambient Temperature: 250°F (121°C).

Flow Rates: SAE 40 motor oil @ 32°F (0°C) with  
2 ft. head pressure: 0.5 GPH (1.9 LPH)  
(1/8” orifice).  
Flow rate through the 1/8 in. (3 mm) orifice is suffi-  
cient to allow crankcase refill through the LM2000.
