Murphy LM2000 Level Switch
Murphy LM2000 model maintains the crankcase 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 integral, low-level switch will alarm and/or shutdown the equipment if supply oil is lost and the equipment continues to use oil.
- Replaced by FW Murphy LM500

Description
As crankcase oil level drops, the LM2000 float also drops and opens the Thumb-Valve™. 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-Valve™ to close off further oil flow. The simple and unique Thumb-Valve™ is nonclogging and provides a positive, leak-free seal.
- Thumb-Valve Operation:
- If the clean oil supply is depleted and oil level continues to fall, the low level switch will operate an alarm or equipment shutdown.
- Features:
- Eliminates under/overfill due to “human error”
- See oil level and condition without shutting down
- Simple installation
- Automatically maintains lube level
- Low level, 3-wire, snap-action switch
- Positive sealing Thumb-Valve™
- Not intended for use with fuel
