IMPORTANT Installation

Recommendations

SWICHGAGE® Used On Transmission/Clutch Oil Pressure

1.Install the SWICHGAGE® using a Murphy pulsation snubber PD2160 in the pressure connection at the transmission or gear and at the SWICH- GAGE®. The snubber helps reduce pressure spikes/surges which will damage the gage sensing element. It also stabilizes the gage readout

through all operating cycles. Failure to isolate gage in this manner will void Murphy warranty and possibly cause equipment damage.

2.Models with pre-alarm have two switch points and when used with Murphy SS300 speed switch–allows changing between high and low switch points according to engine RPM. This configuration does away with nuisance alarms when shifting or when at idle–yet maintains maximum pressure protection. See Murphy Application Tip AT-01 for further details.

SWICHGAGE®

High Pressure Flexible Hose*

*NOTE: A length of flexible hose between the gear and the SWICHGAGE® helps dampen pressure surges.
