Murphy 15-250F Temperature Swichgage 4.5 in. with 10 Ft Capillary - Surface Mount - SPLC-250P10

The Murphy 15-250F Temperature Swichgage 4.5" with 10 Ft Capillary SPLC-250P10 is a mechanical gage for temperature indication. It includes adjustable, electrical contacts that can be used for start and stop, to trip alarms and to shut down equipment. This vapor actuated gage features a sealed capillary tube and sensing bulb. When subjected to heat, the liquid in the sensing bulb expands to vapor creating pressure against a bourdon tube mechanism. The bourdon tube translates this vapor pressure into a mechanical gage reading.

For model SPLC-250P10 the gage pointer acts as a pressure indicator and as one switch pole which completes a circuit when it touches the adjustable limit contacts. Contacts have self-cleaning motion to ensure electrical continuity. A toggle switch is provided on SPLC models to override the low contact for equipment start-up. Typical applications include: Gas Compressors, Engine Coolant Temperature, Process Temperature, Heaters and Coolers and Water Pump Temperature.

SPLC Swichgage temperature indicator gage includes 2 pilot duty, pointer-type limit contacts (one for high and one for low) that can be used for alarm and/or shutdown. The SPLC model will complete a circuit when the gage pointer and either limit contact meet. This provides an electrical signal to alert the operator of critical temperature conditions or, when required, to shut-down the equipment. Both limit contacts (high and low) are field adjustable by simply turning the fingertip type knob to the desired point on the scale dial.
