Description
The Murphy L971 Series Level Switch detects
low oil level in a compressor’s crankcase.
As oil level in the crankcase depletes, the
float on the L971 switch falls, and if reaches
the predetermined limit, will trip the internal
snap-switch which in turn will initiate a
shutdown and/or alarm.
The L971 is designed for Ingersoll-Rand
Type 30, Type 40 and ESH compressors, yet
can be adapted to fit other compressors that
have an inspection plate extending below
normal operating oil level.
The L971 has a 1/2 NPT process connection
and features an explosionproof enclosure,
durable SPDT snap-switch and rigid
polyurethane foam float. A 304 stainless steel
float is available on certain configurations (see
Specifications).
